    This week's Genre City: Plan B is both over one year and less than 24 hours old.

    I love it, as I love all things I've been doing recently.  Nothing is awesomer than watching my piddling drawing skills finally start to catch up to my writing chops which, come on, are sizeable.  Ongoing readers will notice the jarring change in "format" in this installment.  By that I mean, this is the first Genre City: Plan B strip in which I gave up trying to draw panel borders and word baloons.  To other long-time readers this is nothing new, as all my most recent comics (Kevin Analog, Kings Of Pop, and cetera) have all panels and word baloons appearing courtesy of Adobe Illustrator.  Which was a welcome evolution, for sure.  This is because this page of Genre City was drawn, I'm thinking, almost a year ago, but first appeared in black and white.  Now, we all know that Genre City: Plan B is a FULL COLOR COMIC in every possible fashion.  And I think you'll agree, even if you've never seen this installment before, it's the color that really kicks a page like this into gear.

    Now, the dangerous part.  I finished coloring last night.  Which means the wall behind which no new comics reside is fast approaching.  And that is scary.  I will be working my ass off, as of today, pretty much for the rest of my life.  Boy am I stupid.
