That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back...

Most people know the following quote, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Although this may not be the technical definition of the word, insanity, it definitely makes sense. 


Contrary to my last post, I discovered this past week that I can't do everything. It's overwhelming. Especially when life throws you a curveball (which it did this week). That being said, the following common saying, "A Jack of all trades, is a master of none", really makes more sense to me at this moment in my life. Although I tried to get back on the webcomic wagon, I fell off. As I was sitting on the ground, dusting myself off and watching the webcomic wagon drive away from me (for the umpteenth time), I thought to myself, “why do I keep doing this?” 


I keep re-trying to re-start my webcomics over and over again, expecting different results.” I can’t do it (at least on a regular basis), there’s too much other stuff on the proverbial drawing board that needs my attention.  Besides, I’m not sure if anyone “gets” my webcomic’s humor. Not that my humor is not funny (at least I think it’s funny). I believe that my humor is too complicated for today's instant gratification world and I also believe that in this world, the average person's attention span is short and wants a quick, easy to understand gag that'll make them laugh immediately. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not what my webcomics are all about. I think to understand my webcomics, one needs to understand the history of the characters to understand the humor contained in my webcomic. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but that's the way I see it. 


That being said, time waits for no one, so I think it's time to permanently move on from the insanity of creating webcomics and focus on the art of the caricature. 


I’ve heard that it's not about destination, it's about the journey to the destination and I'd have to agree. However, my webcomics have reached their destination and it was an interesting journey.
