This is going to sound a little weird, but I kind of like it when a chapter ends. There’s a sense of completion and looking forward to the next chapter.
Which brings me to the second part of the title, future changes. One is a somewhat major change, the other is a minor one.
The major change is going to be format. For the longest time, I’ve drawn the pages at 9″x12″ (228.6 x 304.8mm). Starting next chapter, I’m switching to 7.5″ x 9.375″ (190.5 x 238mm) to make it more manga-like. Hopefully, the smaller size will make it easier for me to get the pages done faster.
The minor change is posting related. Rather than posting at 12:00 Central, I’ll be scheduling post’s for midnight.
Here’s the (somewhat) yearly Halloween pic, this year featuring Peach the Zombie, Barking Mad Mike’s master bartender and resident weirdness magnet.
In case you’re wondering, what happened was that a local lowlife decided that ambushing the cute little shortstack walking in the alley behind the bar was a good idea. That was not a good idea.
Thankfully, after working in a werewolf bar for over thirty years, Peach has learned to keep a spare change of clothes in her locker for just such an occasion. Also, this being a werewolf bar, someone coming in covered in blood is a fairly routine occurrence, especially for employees. This is why Mike had a shower installed for employee use in the back and they keep a supply of emergency t-shirts on hand.

Okay, this is just a placeholder until I can get something a bit more permanent put up. If your an indie comic creator and you’re looking for talent, just leave a comment with your preferred contact info and/or links.
In case anyone was wondering, one of my side projects has been building an AMD 65, the underfolding Hungarian version of the AK-47. It has been a lot of fun for me, and I have learned a lot. One of those things has been the heat treating of metal, which is what the following photos are related to.
Since I wanted to do a full heat treat of the receiver, that meant I had to build a kiln to do it it. And this it, currently under construction:
This is the barrel that I’m using for the body of the kiln. The metal frame in it is for the main chamber of the kiln (see below) to rest on. I cut that up out of an old bedframe and had my buddy weld them up for me.
This is the main chamber of my kiln, a clay chimney flue. The hole in the side of it is where I’m gonna have the vent tube be.
This is what I’m going to use for a vent tube. It was part of an old jackstand that I found.
here’s the hole for the vent.
And this is what I’m gonna fill it with: Non clumping, unscented, kitty litter.
