I'm gonna get back to making Planet B this monday. In this gap I've finished the painting (pics are forthcoming) and found a very interesting website, Tropes (Thank you ~lhhog ) And inevitably, I've asked myself why I make Planet B. Standard answers - because it's fun, because I love to improve...

Man. 10 years ago, I'm the last person in the world I imagine would make a comic, or anything funny.

Deep down, my sense of humor is just about nonexistent. I've been known to take things seriously serious, and been told many many times to "geeze lighten up!" I also tend to take jokes personally, misunderstand sarcasm A LOT, and hate media whose popularity exceeds its talent/creativity, and/or presents a message I disagree with. I must have had (and still do) have some kind of paranoia that if something is funny enough and draws a big enough audience, its messages will have a powerful influence, for better or for worse.

Which is part of the reason why I make a comic, and create in general.
Because dang it, I want to have some influence too.

_{I'm not entirely clear on where I'm going with this.}

What I can say though, is that I don't like the direction America is going. And I have this delusion that, by doing what I do, I can influence it, if only a little bit, for the better... as if I was some kind of authority. And why not? Just about every other big-name show/comic/whatever acts like one.

It only serves to be a blessing that I'm not an influence, because I certainly DON'T want to be a wrong influence, and I'm often wrong. I'd end up just like "them".

I REALLY don't like the direction America is going.

But, as I have had to remind myself since always... I need to stop worrying about what is out of my hands.
And that's why I make a comic. To pretend that I have a sense of humor, to pretend that everything's all right.


Also. New song of the month (dmusic), and on my Youtube you'll find a bonus song
