I think it's time to do something about Omaha. Right now the complete story is not available for purchase anywhere, and I think the saga that Kate Worley and I created was in a lot of ways, decades ahead of its time. It was a real-life drama that covered things that weren't covered seriously back in the 1980s. Our saga was Woke before there was a word for it.

Since I can't easily take comments on my home page because of spamming, I'd like fans and friends to use this blog to say something, or suggest something. Since I'm living out my life in a tiny country town, I don't get around much as I no longer drive, and my email is flooded with political solicitations, I can hardly read my mail.

Flower Chamber Pages coming out!

"The Flower Chamber," after much pre-production, is being drawn and painted at last, and I am now working on page 6 of the first 12-page installment done.

If my trusty old computer doesnt explode doing this work, things will be progressing with much more speed now. (If it DOES explode, I have everything backed up, and all the backup backed up, too.)

This first installment, which introduces the Domed City of Manhope and the House of Hathor, will appear in Issue #24 of Larry Welz's Cherry Comix!

This isn't state-of-the-art CGI and it isnt supposed to be, just a fun story.

Well, back to the drawing board, modeling apps and so on. I have 8 more characters to build before I can finish the chapter.

Cherry #23 is out now!

That's right, Larry Welz is back, and so am I, with Cherry #23, the first issue published in 20 years. Cherry is resuming publication, and I will be appearing in Cherry with installments of my new story, "The Flower Chamber. This issue I'm on the back cover, and the story will start next time.

Cherry is available from Larry's website at https://www.cherrycomix.com/books

The House that Hathor Built

Well, with all the stuff going on, I'm still managing to plod along with "The Flower Chamber." It's a good thing I had no idea what I was getting into. After months of research, I started preparing for the visuals. At last I'm making some progress. This is a test rendering of the far-from-completed exterior of the House of Hathor. Some textures have been finished, but a lot more work needs to be done before I can use it. The gardens will need greenery etc. But I'm almost ready to actually draw Page One.

German Omaha Update

News from Verlag Schreiber und Leser, German publishers. Translation of Omaha the Cat Dancer is proceeding apace, and for those interested, this edition will be available worldwide. Just in German. So technically, Omaha is soon to be back in print. The first of four 256-page volumes will be released early next year. It will be a limited edition of 1,500 copies. Cost approx. 30€.

"The Flower Chamber" is taking shape

THE FLOWER CHAMBER is the working title of my new series, which stars Omaha as The Goddess Hathor Reborn, in a Domed City of the Future after the Great Economic Collapse, trying to make it work between Men and Women in an uncertain world, from an Egyptian palace under the dome where love is being dispensed for free.

This is a piece that is partly Science Fiction and partly allegory, and of course it is adults only.

After a lot of beginning research, I seem to have turned a corner. Now the story I believed on-and-off that I had, is starting to emerge, in big surprising bursts. There's a lesson here somewhere, something like, when something grabs you hard, stick with it and believe in it no matter how crazy it seems. Things that caused me to believe my story was totally absurd, have emerged as important plot points, and things that came up to stymie me have popped into the story with a meaning that I didnt even suspect until i did more research, and connections I made that i thought were foolish have turned out to have historical or mythological significance and belong in the story for reasons I only found out later. In the end, of course, i'll smile and do the cat thing, of saying "oh yeah, I meant to do that." When really, stuff just keeps falling in my lap.

 Here is a promotional drawing of our star, Osanna (aka Hathor) in Her palace, which will appear on the back cover of Larry Welz's upcoming Cherry #23.

I will post developments as they occur.
