I've gotten quite a bit of email this week (some which I still need to respond to) asking where Todd and Penguin and Girl and Monster are.
This has been a busier week than usual at the paper. I worked a few late late nights on a story which I can't go into detail about. So, the comic is the first to suffer.
I wish it weren't the case, believe me. I would love to have more time to draw the comics. In an ideal world, I would be syndicated and making enough to focus on just the comics.
But alas, this is not an ideal world.
All week I've been contemplating Todd and Penguin and Taking Up Space and mulling over the possibility of combining them into one comic. It would give me a chance to be more topical and darker yet I could still keep the sweet stuff.
I could alienate Todd and Penguin fans by doing so.
9 out of 10 people I know prefer Taking Up Space. However, if you look at readership, Taking Up Space doesn't have nearly the numbers Todd and Penguin has. Though, given that Todd and Penguin is more established and publishes more regularly, readership numbers might not be an accurate guage of what is more popular.
Feel free to weigh in here or email me your thoughts.Labels: taking up space, todd and penguin |

I might be in the minority here, but I love the the dark stuff. At the same time if you go darker, you might have trouble getting something too edgy syndicated.
Tough choice but I'll read whatever you continue to draw!
