I'll let Jessica speak for herself. That is, if she can ever pull herself away from drawing for long enough to post on here.
Haha it's quite clear that you do all the writing and she's drawing all the time..
Hah, yeah, kind of. Don't get me wrong, I looove writing, but I'm notoriously awful when it comes to written correspondence because I take forever to write. I have a tendency to overthink everything I say, mulling over exactly how to word everything, which is actually fun for me, but it gets so time consuming that I end up putting off responses until I feel like I have enough time to spare, which is often kind of a long time.
I've actually been wanting to write blog posts for the site, and I still plan to at some point. I do have some of my writing sprinkled throughout the comic itself, so Adam doesn't do
all the writing. I can be really slow and meticulous when it comes to drawing, too, and doing
SN8X (I don't think I've ever referred to it as that before; wonder if that'll stick) has made me noticeably faster, and my art speed has steadily been increasing.
In reference to your post on July 26:
Man, seems like it would be so frustrating to put all that work into your studies with such little yield. It's frustrating enough for me trying to scour the Internet for answers to frivolous science questions and coming up with really vague answers, on a platform full of information compiled by people who have done all the
real work. "What the hell, scientists? Hurry up and figure out what bats evolved from for me." I hope there are a lot of other sources of satisfaction for you along the way, if findings are so rare. But yeah, at least you have some context and aren't just stabbing around in the dark.
I didn't know about the tree thing, or at least forgot that factoid. That's crazy, or at least sounds crazy, having no idea what those genes govern. Adam and I just watched a He-Man episode last night where He-Man and Tila had to murder the oldest tree in Eternia and give him to a dragon as a present in order to rescue Man at Arms. He-Man almost did it, but decided it was too fucked up. I think the lesson of the episode was that trees have a right to life. He-Man probably knew the factoid. God, He-Man, you're so fucking wise.
