Happy Birthday “Imy!” And… Can Zombies do comics?
Well, thanks to reader TONI for reminding me, or I would have remembered months from now and would have felt terrible for it. But “Imy” (the strip) turned 4 years old on November 25th! Have I really been doing this for 4 years? Granted, this last year has been spotty due to my injury on my drawing arm. Which is getting much better, but is still something I have to watch out for.
It’s been wonderful to get back into everything full swing. It’s a shame though that I never got my buffer in good enough to be able to use now when I am feverishly ill. Yes, I got the flu from hell. In fact, I don’t think this is the flu. I think this is how the transformation to zombie begins.
Anyway, writing all of this has taken every bit of energy I have. Everyone around me who has had this flu has been nearly bedridden for 2 FLIPPIN’ WEEKS. It’s true that I feel like death right now, but I’m hoping it doesn’t take that long for me to recover.
I can officially not look at a computer screen anymore. And these chills must mean the next stage of the zombification process has begin. So I’ll go lay down now.
Gotta love fans…they’re so much more aware of milestones than creators. 🙂 Congratulations, Irma…I know you started out thinking if you could just do 5 strips, you’d be happy. Well, you accomplished that beautifully. 🙂 Imy is consistently a joy to read, and I have been privileged to be a small part of your process from time to time. You put out quality work that is getting better all the time, and I hope that Imy continues for as long as you’re so passionate about it.
congrats to Imy, and I hope you feel better Irma ;0)
… so you can make MORE IMY.
Woot!! 4 years is quite a time to keep up this great comic, congratulations!
I hope D. has enough ammo for his shotgun and maybe a few pig’s brains to distract you when the zombie-flu is full on… 😉 You better get better real soon!
Also, I can’t help but, again, offer up my spectacular mermaid-skillz to help out in the buffer-draught! 😀
Your welcome Irma! and I hope you’ll get better!!!
