I’m really sorry to say this but I just can’t realistically post a comic this week. I can’t believe it but I’m sick again. That’s the third time this year and it’s only April. I also really need to focus on another project this week. Sorry again. Lemon Inc. will return next week.
Hey guys! Sorry, I guess I haven’t updated the blog in a couple of months. I’d put blogging on the back burner while I was keeping up with the comic, fighting a couple of colds, and working on a couple of other projects.
In the post I made at the beggining of the year I said that I would write some kind of post outlining my plans for the comic in 2011. I never got around to that so I’m just going to sum them up here. Basically I’m in the middle of putting together a book. The book should be done sometime this year.
I’ve started applying for tables at conventions in Toronto. If I get accepted into one then ideally you will be able to come down and buy the book. More information on this as things progress. Anyway I finally finished the character design for Craig.
Craig will be a salesman for Lemon Inc. He’s basically like a used car salesman except he’s selling lemonade. He will do anything to make a sale, even if it involes illeagal activity… Especially if it involves illeagal activity.
For Craig’s outfit I took design elements from used car salesmen, 1920s gangsters, and Don Cherry. Coincidentally they all dress fairly similarly.
In other news Sean McLean of Underwhelmed drew this…
Sandwiches unite!
This week’s comic is going to be late. I have a cold and pink eye. This was a bit distracting so I had trouble focusing on drawing the comic. Sorry. I’ll try to finish it as soon as possible.
Now that 2010 has officially come to an end I thought I would do a recap of some storylines from the last year and talk about some other Lemon Inc. related things that happened in 2010.
Storyline Recap
The year started out with Andy and Jeff building the lemonade stand. Well, I guess Andy didn’t really build it but he did a lot of overseeing. They had a tight budget so they had to make some compromises.
However, none of the compromises they made were nearly as devastating as the one a Mr. Gerald Jenkins (also known as “the sad guy”) had to make when he learnt that Andy and Jeff couldn’t sell him any lemonade, thrusting him into a bleak depression. Poor Gerald tries to stay optimistic but despite his repeated attempts to attain lemonade he remains unsuccessful. Even Santa mocks him.
