<description>&lt;p&gt;I ran into an old friend recently who asked &amp;#8220;where have you been?! You don&amp;#8217;t update your website anymore! And don&amp;#8217;t get me started on Facebook!&amp;#8221; I&amp;#8217;ve been busy creating comics; that&amp;#8217;s it. If you want to see where most of my energy is going, look no further than &lt;a href="http://www.drunkelephantcomics.com"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Drunk Elephant Comics&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

<item><title>How I Tricked Myself Into Cartooning Again [2]</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;In July of 2008, I finally felt like getting back into cartooning again, and had settled on trying my hand at an online comic strip. There are many self-imposed obstacles that I see cartoonists put in their path to creating &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; (that way they never have to put work out in the public eye), and I am no stranger to those delusions. Here are some of my stumbling blocks and how I got around them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

<item><title>Lonely Transition [4]</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Over the last year, I started a &lt;a href="http://www.drunkelephantcomics.com"&gt;webcomic&lt;/a&gt; which was updated two times a week, just to be sure I could handle that schedule. I soon boosted production up to three times a week, and then shortly after, teamed up with a writer to work on &lt;a href="http://www.lydiacomic.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;another&lt;/em&gt; webcomic&lt;/a&gt; that updates three times a week. I am essentially doing comic work full time at night now, having to produce 6 strips a week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

<item><title>Introducing Lydia</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s been a crazy time in my life lately, so I haven&amp;#8217;t had the opportunity to post anything about my new webcomic with writer &lt;a href="http://www.beaucoupkevin.com"&gt;Kevin Church&lt;/a&gt;. It&amp;#8217;s titled &lt;a href="http://www.lydiacomic.com"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Lydia&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and it&amp;#8217;s a spin-off of Kevin and Benjamin Birdie&amp;#8217;s successful webcomic, &lt;a href="http://www.therackcomic.com"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;The Rack&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
