Well, I'll try this for the rant area because... well, it doesn't interfere with the main page so much and it doesn't detract from the comic and for anybody particularly interested in blogs, they can find them at the last pages that I update in.

It's also interesting to note that other manga artists do this. I mean, professional ones. Lesseee... Masami Tsuda from Kare Kano illustrates a few simple biographical pages at the end of each volume (at least, that's how it is printed in the Tokyo Pop volumes.) As well, Ken Akamatsu does a small blurb at the end of his work, most of which feature him crying or panicing. (...)

Regardless, this is where my personal rants will go.

Incidentally, i'm going to sink another page in between 13 and 14 because a little more (but not much more) of Hobbes biography needs to come out. So don't be surprised!

Next update will be March 15th, 2003 which will end the first chapter. Here's hoping.
