Well, I’m about three weeks into the webcomic, and if anyone’s reading this, I hoped you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have so far. I’m a little more used to the drawing at this point, although feet still terrify me. Hands are less frightening, which is good, because someone’s about to get a new pair… or not?
If anyone is tired of seeing that pipe “Phoot” out a rectangular piece of data day after day, you’re about to get some relief. Our crazy duo of Sam and Harry are almost ready to venture out into the wild black and white yonder to search for a new set of digits. Will they meet new friends? Reconnect with old acquaintances? Traverse treacherous terrain? Who knows? To be honest, I’m not even sure what comes next. Hopefully it’ll be funny.
I still have every intention of putting all of the old Unbalanced Humors riff raff into a nice, easy-to-navigate archive, and it will happen soon, I’m sure of it. Making comics takes more time than one might think. But I’ll get to it eventually.
One more thing… I stumbled upon (strangely enough, without any help from the website StumbleUpon) an extremely interesting site about a new religion called Tarvuism. I haven’t enjoyed something quite so much in a very long time. Here’s the intro video on their homepage:

Yes, it’s true… I finally have the old issues of Unbalanced Humors back on the website. They have their own page and everything! And there’s a nice button up on the menu bar so you can look at them anytime you want. Same format as before; just click on the thumbnail of the cover and it’ll open a PDF of the issue. You can get Adobe Reader for free if you don’t have it already. You can then read an issue, save it, or toss it in the recycle bin. Whatever floats yer boat. They’re pretty far removed from Circuit, but they’re fantastic in their own way.
Naughty Language Disclaimer!
Yes, there is some naughty language amongst the issues themselves. I won’t tell you what the words are here… you’ll have to find them on their own. But they’re in there for sure, and there’re some pretty good ones, too! Consider yourselves warned. And titillated?
For whatever reason, I decided when I started Circuit that I wanted to do three panels at a time to tell a story. I consider it a challenge to work within the form and do as much as I can with the limited space that I have. As far as the wordplay goes, I think this might be my favorite strip so far. A new exploding ninja, escalating tension between Jill and Harry, and a potential wedge driven between pals. It’s so satisfying when Harry’s dumb joke gets thrown back in his face. And I abso-freakin’-lutely love the phrase “ninja petard.” You’re welcome, lexicon. You’re welcome.
And I was a bit unsure about the double-point when I did it, but I think I made the right decision.
