For the 23 people who actually used to read this web comic:
Thanks and Sorry for not posting anything in six months.
In my defense, I have been kinda busy (in my real life) and I have been designing and drawing things for LarsenGeekery.com (you can check that out if you want).
As for the fate of Super Ordinary Living: I learned a lot doing Volume 1. I could try and finish off the story arc, but the thing got way more serious than I had intended and it turned out to be just a little to much like everything else out there (just another alternate dimension, save the multiverse, adventure).
Obviously, I got bored with it. The complete lack of work for six months kind of proves that point.
Also I learned that doing conventional comics is something that really does take a team of three or four professionals with lots more time to spend than I had. I kept comparing what I was doing in SOL with conventional comics and kept coming up short. So I just kind of stopped.
So what now?
Honestly, I don't know.
My life doesn't allow the kind of long hours the old SOL would require to do well.
But I still like the idea of doing web comics.
So I need to find a method and a format that fits my life, my talent and my temperament better.
Shorter bursts. More wacky weirdness. Less worrying about plot.
If I can keep the big corporations out of it and just follow my instincts, who knows what will show up here as Super Ordinary Living.
I do know that Volume 1 has died.
Long Live Volume 2, what ever that may become.
