State of the Comic

Another 12 hour work day

Posted on October 20, 2026 by Jeremy Ray

The company really screwed things up this week. Their plan to split up the trainees into two shifts didn’t work out, probably because the trainees aren’t ready (and may never be). So all the wonderful time off I planned to put into the comic, got turned into overtime that I don’t want. On a positive note, I may be able to pay my property taxes out of overtime pay, but I’m going to be pressed hard for time this week. I’ll barely be able to get my college work done over my days off. I think I can do it.

Yep – School today, work again tomorrow.

I’m back from another 12 hour shift. I found out, by accident, that my new shift was cancelled. I had more days off coming to me on the old “new” schedule, but not on the new “new” schedule. So now I’m going to have to scramble like crazy to get my schoolwork done today – and then it’s right back to work the day afterwards. This is not the way to get things done.

Writing Page 4

What I had written was a bit dry. I’m trying to bump it up and make an addition to the lore that might break canon again. Although it would actually make sense for the canon to be broken, since all the anthology stories are tv shows that were watched by the young man in the intro story. The maid arc is a crossover event that one could imagine would be crudely hacked together in real life. Still, I don’t want it to fall apart too easily.

I should be on my 3 day weekend, but I agreed to do overtime on Saturday. It’s property tax time again, so basically the government needs my money/time more than the readers do. Or at least, it thinks so. But most of the money goes to the public school I wish had never been a part of my life, where a majority of the kids are daycare prisoners instead of future knowledge workers. And the few who will learn will be taught at the speed of the slowest kid in the class. They could do better with online classes.

Looking back at the most recent blog posts, all I do is complain about work and post A.I. music. That’s not great. AWstats is showing some traffic for the music though, which is a relief. Something is better than nothing. Well, back to writing the comic.

Low Effort Surf Rock: Saltwater Haze 2

Posted on October 15, 2026 by Jeremy Ray

That’s pleasant. Not much surf rock in it, more like shoegaze? (edit – eh, that’s not the version I meant to upload. I’ll do the other one tomorrow.)

One more 12 hour shift and I’ve got at least three days off – but I’m going into a short work week, so it may be more. And I don’t have to study for a final. That means something will get done with the comic!

Low Effort Surf Rock: Fuzz on the Shore

Posted on October 13, 2026 by Jeremy Ray

The effort is so low, it isn’t even surf rock. Just another slow, slightly melancholic, easy listening rock instrumental. It’s not great, unless you want something to play in the background that doesn’t draw your attention. This album would be good for that. But it’s not supposed to be anything, I’m just testing prompts to what they do.
