That way, I’m not taking any time away from Cami and the baby at home. Sometimes I think I can draw the comic at work over my lunch break and take in my laptop to color it. I find myself flip-flopping on the issue a lot. I can’t say for certain if I’ll still be able to keep up with three full-color comics a week or if I’ll have to cut back.

The question is how much free time will be left over to work on the site. Obviously, my family is my priority so my attention will go to them first. I have no idea how this baby is going to impact the site. Posting today’s guest strip and recognizing what it means for the future of the site leaves me feeling a little untethered. You can expect new comics from me every Friday as well as blogs throughout the week.
Plus, maintaining this schedule through February will give me time to be with my son after the fact. He’s due on the 15th, so I’m trying to free up my schedule as much as possible in case Cami goes early. If you aren’t reading Michael’s excellent comic, check it out now!Īs I mentioned in Friday’s blog, I will be running guest strips on Monday’s and Wednesday through the month of February as Cami and I prepare for the birth of Baby B. I thought it was the perfect way to get your attention on a Monday morning! It’s also the perfect blend of bright colors and macabre humor that is Ornerboy’s trademark.
It’s an alternate ending to the most recent Pimp Tom strip and I laughed out loud after reading it! Michael was a worried it was a little too dark. Today’s guest comic comes to us from none other than Michael Lalonde of Ornerboy. Making comics is something I love doing and the fact that you guys have been there to support it means the world to me. But I hope you continue to make Theater Hopper a part of your week just as you have before. So things will be a little different around here for a while. The amazing, supportive e-mails I’ve been getting since we annouced our pregnancy have been proof of that. But obviously having a baby is a big deal and that’s where my focus needs to be. I wasn’t really looking forward to breaking this news to you because there’s no easy way to say it. Also, I’m pretty sure there is going to be a period of adjustment after Baby B is born where I’m going to want to focus completely on my family and I won’t have 3 or 4 hours every other night to draw, ink, color, shade and letter comics. I just can’t commit the time behind-the-scenes to producing new comics while we’re waiting for Cami to deliver. I’ll even be keeping up with The Triple Feature talkcasts every Monday at 9:00 pm CST for as long as I can. I’ll still be around, talking to you every day. Each comic will include a blog from me, as well. So that means every Monday and Wednesday there will be a guest strip and every Friday a new comic from me. I’ve managed to recruit some of my good friends in the community to help me out and I have SEVERAL guest strips lined up for the days I will not be producing a comic. However, I haven’t completely abandoned new content on Mondays and Wednesdays. When can you expect updates? I’ll be posting a new comic every Friday. Basically it means that I will be updating once a week instead of three times a week. As such, I have decided to scale back my commitment to Theater Hopper for the month of February.
Our doctors have told us that Cami could deliver him anywhere between two weeks before and one week after the due date. Our due date for Baby B is coming up on February 15. I need to clue you in to some production changes on the site for the month of February. Incidentally, Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring! Hopefully everyone is catching the reference in today’s comic. It took me nearly five years, but I finally worked a Ned Ryerson reference into the comic! Although the comic has landed on February 2 the last two years, so I don’t know why I didn’t come up with this idea sooner. Happy meteorology irrelevancy day, everybody!
