I have a little news, and I guess its time I introduced myself as well. First of all, there will be a little delay in this week’s comic.  See,  through a series of unfortunate events (caused by another friend’s poor skills at botany) John no longer has a right arm.  Instead, he has a limb which is host to a lovely crop of poison ivy blisters.  Seeing how the update is on his laptop, and that Wordpress has lost the uploaded version, the update will have to wait.  But fear not, you shall not go un-entertained.  I have some lovely content coming up tonight and over next few days.

 Who am I you ask?  Well, the resident dialog monkey of course; otherwise known as the writer.  The name is Joshua, Joshua Hart.  No, I don’t always introduce myself like James Bond, but I have always wanted to.  Why do you ask?

Where was I?  Ah yes, I’m the writer.  First off, let me say writer does not equal creator, this is John’s baby, his idea.  Me, I just heard about it and went crazy giving ideas, feed back, and plots.  After about the 3rd day of me calling every ten minutes he offered me the job.  Mostly so I would let him sleep I am assuming.  Now he has me and is not getting rid of me. 

So I do most of the dialog work and a good bit of plot development, John and I work out the rest as a team by spit balling an outline while I work out most of the details with both of us having veto. We seem to work really well that way, as we catch each other when we stray to far from center and bring it back so that its a enjoyable read for everyone.  If you have any feedback, please, let me know.  Well, let me know after we turn on the comments at least.

Now that that’s been cleared up, let me tell you a bit about me. I am not a full time writer.  This is an off hour gig. My day job uses my degree in psychology, as I am a caseworker/outreach worker for the mentally ill homeless for a major hospital in the area. I am an artist as well, but my skills lean to the more abstract, working with cubism, and color and form far more than illustrations.  I also have a talent for 3 dimensional art as well, working with mediums such as metal, leather, paper, and piratical objects such as, books and chairs.  As of late I have been on a steam punk kick; two of these recent items items you can see here along with a very drunk me at A-kon.

Also I am very much the more social, outspoken, and outlandish of the two of us. If you see me out at a con, and let me tell you if I am at a con, your sure to see me.  Please say hello and let me know your a reader, I love to meet new people and make new friends, and I always, and I mean always love a party.

PS, shortly ( as soon as I get a camera and a place to take and upload photos)  as mentioned earlier there will be a large back log of blog post coming up, so make sure to check the archive over the next week.
