Metal Jaw Comics

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to John Wigger from Zombie Roomie, he saw that I needed help and he offered it to me. One thing I have not been very pleased with are my word balloons. If I could actually hand draw them, it would be fine, but as you can see, I can’t. I sent over my artwork to John and he wrote me up a little tutorial on how to accomplish something I was lacking in. With the tools he has provided me, I hope to make my comic a little more pleasant looking. Here is the example John sent me. I am hoping to use the tutorial he sent me and re-do Monday’s comic and continue to do the comics in somewhat this manner.
