Melonpool

So, time certainly flies when you’re having fun! This is the beginning of the tenth week so far in the reboot. As of this writing, I’ve managed to keep a two-week buffer, even through Halloween and Thanksgiving — and I’ll probably have the buffer through New Year’s in the next couple of days.

This is quite a departure from the original run — I can’t think of a single year that I was able to get through the high-stress time from Halloween until my birthday on January 24th without missing at least a week (or more). Keeping a buffer is definitely the way to go — both for my own peace of mind and to add to the quality of the strips I’m able to post. Hopefully everyone’s enjoying it, so far!

Anyway, to put it in perspective, here’s the comic that ran at the beginning of the tenth week in the initial run:

And, if you or anyone on your holiday gift list wants a Melonpool book, please check out the store! I think there’s just enough time for you to get them before the holidays! Also, I have originals and prints available of most of the strips (been from the initial “Old School” run. I’ll even autograph them for you! Click on the “Buy Print or Original!” button below the comic you’re interested in or email me for info — Just FY!!
