Status Report for April 3, 2008

In the past three days, I’ve gotten one and two-thirds scenes inked for the ‘Scary Monster 2′ movie. At that rate, with nineteen and a third scenes remaining, I’m looking at the end of April to have inking completed. Then tack on another month for coloring, probably another two weeks to deal with audio, final edit, blah blah blah…

Hmmm… looks like a release sometime in June…

June?!?!?!

Do you see?? Do you finally get it?????? I wrote “mid-May” as a release date in my previous blog, and in an instant, before I have a chance to turn around and scratch my butt, the release date jumps up a whole month! Just like that. Magic. Gotta be magic. Black magic, maybe???? Maybe a gremlin running around with nothing better to do? What’s that, Mr Gremlin? You don’t have a church to burn down, or a busload of orphans to send over a 100-foot cliff?? No problem — there’s an animator trying to figure out a production schedule who’s just dying to have someone give him a wedgie. Have at it!

He needs to find a girlfriend or something. Seriously.

Well, whatever’s causing it, I’ve learned my lesson. No more ‘tentative’ release date announcements or half-witted gazing into crystal balls. Every time I do that I look like a bigger idiot than I truly am. The damn thing will be done when it’s done.
