Summary of Stuff happening

Hey, so I know I promised you more stuff. Though it may not seem like it, I am doing stuff. I'm working towards reviving The Super, and I have some pretty cool ideas for the artwork. It'll take longer, but I think you'll like it. I'll post about a page a week or something like that, allowing my schedule to be what it is. Busy, but still lazy at the same time. It works, trust me. So that's what's happening. There's not a crisis.

It was just the Old Fashioned Festival last weekend. It's actually pretty small, but in my town it's a huge deal. It's the only thing they do fireworks for. My town doesn't even do fireworks for the fourth of July, that's how big a deal the Old Fashioned Festival is. There's a parade, and a pancake breakfast, and live entertainment, and carnival rides and games, and there's also booths, which are less fun because they tend to just be supporting an organization, not actually selling anything. So I was busy with that. Sorry I didn't tell you.

Also my cat died. She wasn't really mine, she was more accurately my dad's. She was 21 years old, which is an incredibly long time for a cat to live. I mean, she was older than I am. My dad's had her since before he met my mom. So it's pretty hard on him. But me, I've been sort of expecting it. For the past couple months, I'd poke her gently during her naps because she slept so still you could've thought she was dead. And I'd think she was. Now she really is. But there are bigger problems in the world than losing a cat.

But yeah, I'm already working on one of the first pages of the new Super, which takes place after one that I did in sixth grade. That one was a comic that I spent a lot of time on, and wasn't actually very long. I turned it in as a school project, but not before my mom made a bunch of copies and sent them to all to my relatives. Then I promptly lost my copy, like the professional artist I am. That was about four years ago, so I can't remember what happened in it too well, but what I do remember is that this weird dragon barged in and started fighting the Super, until a seemingly random teenage boy walked in. He then proceeded to magically heal the dragon, team up with the dragon, and then they both flew off to regroup and decide what their new plan was. And then the Super said something like, "Don't party yet. It's not over..." DUN DUN DUNNNN! And that was the end. I was crunched for time, and there was a limit on the amount of pages I could put in the comic due to the qualifications of the project. Plus I was twelve. The only real tension I knew how to implement was cliff hangers. But now I'm continuing the story! I'm planning on catching everyone up by having a narration box that says something like, "Last time on The Super, the Dragon and the boy sorcerer got away, promising they would return!" and that would pretty much sum it up for anyone behind. Which is, like, everyone.

So there's that to look forward to. And hey, not everything goes according to plan. So I'm sorry if I don't follow my own plan, because I have a weird habit of making plans go awry. It just sort of happens. I'll do my best.
