This just reminds me, on the last day of April every year in Sweden we have a bonfires all over the country for Valborg (Walpurgis). I go to a huge one in the center of town every year by the water. It’s so big that everyone standing around it usually has to stand about 25 feet away. Any closer and you can feel your face melting off. One of these years I need to be very American about it and just take a marshmallow on a stick with me and see how close I can get and if it will toast :)

Inspired by the recent barrage of solar storms that have been hitting this planet. I could say “we’re entering a solar maximum” now, but that probably doesn’t mean much to many people because you’re probably not as big as a geek as I am about these things. :) Let’s just say that solar activity is UP (it goes through cycles). Last time it was up like this was when I moved here about 9 years ago. I saw some amazing displays of auroras then. But nothing in the past 9 years, until this past year. Since then I’ve seen it several times from flights back to Sweden. And I’m trying to see it fromt eh ground again, but it’s so freggin’ cloudy!

I remember back around 2004 (I THINK), such a huge storm hit the planet and auroras reached so far south that people could see them from every state in the continental US. So it’s possible. And we’re entering a time period where it’s possible again!

First thing’s first. If you came by yesterday, chances are that you noticed that the site was taking part in the strike against SOPA and PIPA. If you don’t know much about what that is, then you should go HERE to educate yourself, then help to speak out against it.

Second, this is your LAST CHANCE to donate to Comic Creators for Freedom. Don’t forget, “Imy” is one of more than a hundred female webcomic characters featured in the massive snowball fight wallpaper over at Comic Creators for Freedom. Which is a very important fundraiser against human trafficking. Follow that link and read up! This is the last week you can donate! It’s for a great cause and you get a very COOL wallpaper!

And, finally, in case you didn’t realize, there is a WINTER version of the wallpaper I put out before Christmas tht is NOT holiday related at all, that you can go download for your computer, ipad or iphone (some of them fit soem android phones too)! Go get that and decorate your devices now!

While you guys wait for the comic to launch fresh in January (read about that HERE if you already haven’t), I’ve created a new, fun and free wallpaper for you! This one comes in two versions. A Christmas version and a non-holiday Winter version.

Christmas…
null
Winter…
null

This way those who don’t want a Christmas one have an alternate to choose from, and those who DO use the Christmas one have something to change to when the holidays are over. :)

As usual, the wallpapers come in a plethora of resolutions, including both home screen and lock screen versions for BOTH iPad and iPhone.

Go get them from the GOODIES page now and enjoy!

But 2012 is MINE. http://www.imycomic.com/2011/12/12/fine-2011-you-beat-me-you-win-but-2012-is-mine/ http://www.imycomic.com/2011/12/12/fine-2011-you-beat-me-you-win-but-2012-is-mine/#comments Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:00:19 +0000 Irma http://www.imycomic.com/?p=2102

Well, THAT was fun. I’m pretty certain that the “zombie flu” I had was this mycoplasma thing that seems to be making the rounds around here (passed on to me by my husband who was knocked out for almost 2 weeks by it). Otherwise known as “walking pneumonia,” I believe. Never had a fever for so many days before, and the coughing… OH the coughing. I’m STILL coughing. But, thankfully it’s much milder. Finally. I’m still not up to full strength, and run ouf of breath very easily. But I’m thankful to be functional again.

Before this house got hit by disease, I had a good flow going with my strip, finally. But I got completely thrown off again. It’s so frustrating. 2011 has been a hard year for “Imy.” It all started back in June when I strained my drawing arm, and it all went chaotic from there. Having to take time off to heal, and then getting back into it while not quite ready. Then trying to finish the book on time for NYCC, and side work. It was all too much. I ended up losing a lot of time on “Imy,” especially when it came to my fall vacations. Because of everything else I never got a chance to build up comics for my vacations. and I had to take even MORE time off. I filled in whenever I could. But I could never catch up with myself. And now I FINALLY got a grasp on things, but it slipped out of my hands again. It’s extremely frustrating, since “Imy” is the most important thing to me. But this year has really fought me about it.

So after a long discussion with my good friend (and adopted editor/manager/personal art director), Tom Racine (Tall Tale Radio, GeekPapas, Webcomic Know-It-All), and based on his suggestions, I’ve decided that I need to get a head start on “Imy” 2012. I just have not been able to catch up the way I need to this year. I keep losing my grasp. In order to get my head start, I am going to use the rest of 2011 to work on “Imy” and build a good buffer. This buffer is the only way I will be able to take charge of my schedule again. It’s what I was trying to do when I got sick. But then 2011 beat me again.

So, I’m not taking a break. No way. I am going to be working my ass off. You just won’t see any of it until the re-launch. Which will be Monday, January 9th, 2012.

I am working on a winter/xmas desktop/iphone/ipad wallpaper for you guys. Which will come in both Xmas and winter-only versions. And that will be available within the next few days.

Otherwise, “Imy” will be back on JANUARY 9TH. Repeat after me… JANUARY 9TH! JANUARY 9TH! JANUARY 9TH! There, now it’s tattooed onto your brain. :)

Enjoy the holidays and the new year!!!
