Ramblings of Thanksgiving and long work hours

After a Naval Drill Reserve where I found myself working 12-14 hours for three days and then with Thanksgiving this week and all that goes into that, I decided to take the week off and resume Z & G back next Monday, maybe this will get my buffer somewhat started again. Or at least catch up on a guest strip I need to finish up and a fan art I want to do. Thank you for your understanding, who knows, I may end up doing a ZGVision for Friday, I’ll see how my schedule goes. and how it went was I finished up my guest cartoon for Bearman and was able to get Friday’s comic up. It didn’t feel good to have to miss Monday’s comic so I just made sure that I got one out.

Ramblings of Excuses Excuses

I may have gotten out of being Active Duty Navy, but I am now in the Navy Reserve. This past weekend was my first reserve drill weekend while my comic has come back from hiatus and that in itself is causing the Sept 17th comic being late. Late comics upset me very much. I was working on the comic last night and I could barely keep my eyes open, so instead of injecting myself with coffee and possibly messing myself up for work on Monday morning, I decided that I would put the pen down and get some rest. Instead of pushing off the comic till Friday, like I had to do last week (due to a broken air conditioner and my family and I not being at the house) I am going to plug away and finish up the comic tonight and have the comic up at the latest Tuesday. I hope you understand my dilema and know that I am working out a schedule in my after work time to be able to have sufficient time to get my comic done and posted on the scheduled Mondays and Fridays. Thank you all for your continued support.

Ramblings of an explanation for the time away

by Roland on August 17, 2012 at 8:16 am

I am back into making comics and I am happy. I can’t believe that it has been 9 months since my last comic being posted and I have been very upset by that. This was an unplanned hiatus, and it was all due to life changes, as it always seems to be the case. I had just gotten out of the Navy of 14 years and I ended up getting a job back in my home area of Corpus Christi, Texas. So from the notice of getting my new job, I moved from Florida to Texas the following week, leaving my family in Florida till I could find a place to live for us all. Trying to find time to do my comic between getting familiar with my new job and house hunting became non-existent. As time passed and things have settled down, somewhat, I finally got to doing my comic again. So I hope you excuse the absence and I really hope you enjoy the comic.

More Brad Joyce Fan Art

Here is another awesome piece of artwork by Brad Joyce! Needing help, Brad jumped in once again and emailed me this. Here is what he said. “While messing around in watercolors I had the idea of bringing Z into a “real world zombie look” so I ran with it! A little mix media of watercolor/ink and presto!” I was like holy crap, this Rawks hard balls… or something like that. Anyway, Brad continues working in watercolors and whatnot, and he keeps knocking these things out of the park. Thank you Brad. As some of you may know, I am moving this weekend and that is the reason that there have been no comic updates. If you want to help me out by sending me fan art or guest strips, I will return the favor!

Fan Art by Brad Joyce

by Roland on November 14, 2011 at 10:11 pm
Posted In: Blog, Fan Art

Here is a fantastic piece of artwork from my artist brethren. You may remember him as one of the 2 Brads from Flip and Barrel. Since the end of that comic, he has gotten aggressive in his artwork and has been putting out his usual awesome artwork. His recent dive into water colors has not disappointed. Check him out on Google + or follow him on Twitter @Brad_Joyc3. His piece is none other than his vision of his original creation: Whisper. He had come up with the idea of Whisper while doing Flip and Barrel and called me up and told me about him cause he felt that he would fit perfectly into the Z & G universe, and as we all know, he has. Thank you Brad. Also, just to let you know, Brad sent this to me because I am moving to Corpus Christi this Saturday and getting everything ready has impaired me the chance to sit down and get a strip out. If anyone else would want to send fan art or a guest strip, send away. I will return the favor.

Fan Art by George Ford

Awhile back, I sent George Ford some Fan Art for his funny long running comic Addanac City that can be seen here. Not too long later, I got this gem in my email inbox. I first got to know of this comic through Bearman Cartoons, as where many great comics can be seen and conversations to be had. George’s comic was funny and I liked how different(in a good way) it was from your usual comics, since then, I have enjoyed his comic ever since.

Fan Art By Brad Snyder

I got this great piece of fan art from one of my buddies, one of the two Brads that think up and draws Flip and Barrel, Brad Snyder. The cool thing is, I’ll be meeting both Brad’s at the beginning of this month as we check out Heroes Con in North Carolina. Brad Joyce is already telling me to save up for bail money, so you know it’s going to be exciting. I love getting fan art, I think it is so cool the different variations that my characters come in when seen through somebody else’s eyes. Thank you Brad, for showing your take of Zech and Geist! You rock, sir!

Ramblings of Tardiness

Working on Monday’s proved to be a little more trying than usual. A late night trip to retrieve some forgotten items and me falling asleep at my tablet cause me to have to hold off until after work on Monday. It also didn’t help that I was doing a double sized comic. I know this sounds like excuses right now, but I would rather explain myself than have you all think that I just didn’t update. So expect the comic out sometime tonight. I have it sketched out and stuff so it shouldn’t take me long to complete it when I get home. Thank you for your understanding.
