What? This is still saved as a Draft? Sorry, I thought I had posted it already. Let's try this again:
I realize it's been a while since I posted on Four Thousand Characters, or produced any more of those ASMIC! cartoons. (And don't get me started about Way of the Dodo! I don't seriously expect to be coming back to it any time soon.)
I can say that I've been busy. I'm pleased to be able to report that after the "ridiculously long" period of unemployment I've mentioned before, I am working full time once more. I'll admit that the pay's not as high as I have made in the past, but it's enough to keep me afloat for now. It is keeping me extremely busy, though.
I hate the thought of leaving a bunch of abandoned projects lying around online. But the truth is that I seem to have lost interest in cartooning for the time being. The creative pendulum has swung from drawing back to writing. (Or rather, back to thinking about writing -- usually when I'm supposed to be doing something else.) Primarily back to fiction writing, though I've had to reconsider the idea of posting fiction samples here for free.
I would say that I intend to start posting here a little more often, but let's face it -- I've said that sort of thing before. Saying it and doing it are two different things. Time will tell.

Only Nine Years Behind Schedule!
It's January 2009. As I'm fond of pointing out, we were supposed to have flying cars and cities on the moon by now.
Well, I don't know about Lunar colonies yet, but flying cars may be here sooner than you think! (Again, I know we've been hearing that for years. Just trust me on this.)
According to CNN, a team of British inventors are planning to take their prototype flying dune buggy on a trip from London to Timbuktu.
You can read about it here at CNN.com.
Or you can read about it and watch a video clip here at the Website of iMotor magazine.
Or you can follow the expedition online at its own site: http://www.skycarexpedition.com/.
(Of course, I'd still rather have a car in which you can just flip a switch, take off vertically, and soar above that traffic jam. On the other hand, I suppose that if everyone had that feature, you'd just end up with three-dimensional traffic jams full of hovering cars. So it probably wouldn't be as much help as you might think.)
