I did not have much time last month or two, and it was a bit hard to force myself to draw EP 12 in my free time in the way I used to draw it. The unwilling to draw the next episode led me to a thought I am not quite satisfied with the current format of my comic.

There are just way too many words and story telling in my episodes. Sometimes I had to make many different backgrounds and put in more pages just because I needed more space for text. Sometimes I wanted to put in more dialogues, but refused because that would cost me time on drawing of one more background.

Recently my good friend SonderCabbage pointed me on an old comic back from 1970s. It's called "The Phantom". While I was reading it, I realized that the format they used there is just what I needed.

The pages there are usually made of one big and solid background, describing the whole landscape or scene, and a lot of text over it. I think this way of comic making will suit me just right!

The comic will look more like a book, the pages will be bigger, but the amount of pages will be much lower. And I will be able to throw a lot of text over it

Since I did not draw much, I was writing a lot. I already have a couple of solid episodes (3000+ words in total) of "Sea Walker's adventures", how I prefer to call it, but these are episodes from the future you don't know yet (this tells you that I am not writing them in chronological order).

I will tell more about my work soon. Right now just make a note, that I did not quit the developing of my comic
