End of the Year

It's New Year's Eve! The year of 2012 is coming to an end! Today's post will tell some stories of the first year of this blog.

On a particularly boring Wednesday on the 8th day of February, I started the blog with my first blogpost. The next post I wrote began the ironic adventure of the Super Rooster comic, where I explained the five different versions of the comic series, and that I had started my sixth, and what I hoped would be my last, attempt.

Soon after that, I started Rabbit and Robot, the nutty improvised webcomic of mammals, robots, rock monsters, and nature spirits. I had a lot of fun making up the story as I went along.

In came Spring, and I started adding more content to the blog. I made a few posts of some of my older comics, and I started doing random sketches. I got a Twitter account (which as of yesterday has 10 followers). And then I came across my "due date" for the Super Rooster script, but I was only a third finished. So I bumped up the date (for the first of many, many times).

I had my friend Joey Han draw a Rabbit and Robot page, which took the story to an interesting turn. I changed my Super Rooster plans and started a different story. I entered Summer, and between camps managed to keep drawing comics, and I got a deviantART account that I never use.

Autumn came, and I was pretty sick of drawing Rabbit and Robot, so I ended it with an "epic finale" (though I have a strange urge to continue it...). Sometime after, I finally realized that I was never going to finish that Super Rooster Sampler, and I ended the project altogether, adding a pathetic sixth attempt to my list.

But ending these two projects cleared up my plate, and I started thinking of a new webcomic idea. I was careful that time, and only said that I hoped to release it in November, which obviously didn't happen. Then came December, and I wrote about a game Zack Wright and I made up, and I drew some holiday pictures, and I started writing an end-of-the-year post describing the whole year even though there isn't a soul in the world who would care, and realized that I had reached the end of the story.

So, I hoped you enjoyed all of that nonsense, and I look forward to the coming year. I think my resolution will be to "never tell you people about things until those things ready to be published." Happy New Year, everyone!

Oh, yeah - as it's the end of the year, here are the seasonal blog headers of 2012:
