“I’ve just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we’ve learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn’t matter in the slightest. Pencils ready!” Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory quote.
The only constant in the Universe is Change…. and my underwear…. and Change is coming to the BUBBAWORLD COMIX site , I tells ya.
For centuries ….. well maybe not centuries , although it feels like centuries, not that it’s a bad thing , just saying… for a long time now I have been doing six comic strip titles. Originally when it was a paper it was six pages with each title a full page. Then I made it four pages and each title got half a page with one title getting a full page. Then I changed again…. I went to the interwebs. It became a web comic. I was updating six days a week. That’s a lot for a web cartoonist. A different title for each day of the week. Then I had to take side jobs that became full time jobs and I made a new change. I went to three updates a week, still pretty good, and did three titles one week and three titles the next week. All this I was putting out collection books of the strips too.
Now the time for Change has come again. Having six titles on one page makes the archives a little difficult. I had six archive pages, one for each title, that held about ten strips each. Then I created six wordpress sites for the full archives of each strip. All six titles are humor strips and have one shot gag strips but each one of them has ongoing stories also. With each title updating twice a month it’s a little hard to keep up with whats going on. If it takes three or four strips to advance a story then you’re looking at it taking six to eight weeks to read that story while doing the same with five other titles.
Here is the Change. I will be dropping all six titles on the BUBBAWORLD COMIX webpage and replace it with a one shot humor gag strip. It won’t involve regular characters and will not have ongoing storylines. Do not fear, the six original titles are not going anywhere. They will become books. I have a collection book that will be released in the upcoming weeks and more strips for a second collection book. After that each title will have it’s on long base story in book form. Around fifty pages or so which will be around a hundred strips. Two strips per printed page. The page count depends on how the story goes. Hopefully I can come out with a book every couple of months and all the titles will be represented within the year. I could never stop doing these titles, they are like my children… they’ve just hit puberty and need to grow into something different , hopefully something better.
Two weeks and one day. That’s how many updates of the old way will happen before the new Changes take place. These are the last seven strips That I had written so I’m drawing them before switching over. Until then, I’ll see ya in the funny pages.
P.S. I will still be updating the six archive pages on wordpress with the new strips so those sites will still be active, and will announce books on those sites when the times come.
