every time i see went, brick house by commodores starts playing in my head…was this intended??

wdym, it plays every time he enters a room (he's been described as a brick shithouse many-a times, so i think any other song would be a disservice to his big naturals!!)

When your best friend and roommate is also your eternal tormentor 😳

It's the 60's. Neil (my killdeer oc) and Wesley (my partner's cat oc) are at the end of their respective ropes, living as much as they can after life chews them up and spits them back out. Neil is experimenting with being an out-there artsy type, and Wesley is a sleazy beatnik party animal with a lack of preservation. They bring out the best and worst (fun) in eachother.

An honest admission about Delaware Pastoral

I want to preface this by emphasizing that the comic is NOT ENDING. This is more of an open conversation about making comics, and what feels like an inevitable burnout. I've reached a complete standstill with DelaPast. When I began posting this comic in 2020, I was positively bursting with drive to complete this story, which has slowely but surely dwindled. This isn't the first time this has happened. I was making a comic from 2014-2018 that let out an excruciatingly slow death-rattle after 53 pages, (which if you do the math, averages about 13 pages per year, in theory). and was eventually just abandoned.

I love comics, and I love making them. I also think it's an extremely strenuous process that takes so. much. time. I'm a perfectionist through and through, and I tend to expect way too much of myself, while also having the attention-span and patience of a gerbil. A very real part of me is ashamed DelaPast hasn't progressed further, and that I've been neglecting it for so long. All while undermining the fact that since this comic's conception I've completed a bachelors, masters and pedagogy degree. I got an email the other day that the website domain is about to expire, and I considered just letting it slowly vanish into the abyss. To just upload the finished script and let people read it for themselves and imagine what could have been. But it wouldn't be fair to anyone who enjoys this comic, to all the work I put in to it these past four years and kind of stupidly, the characters I've come to love so much. But I do need to officially take a step back and seriously reconsider how I'm going to make the comic going foward. This story has always been a dialogue-heavy, actionless, two-hander, which has been an absolute nightmare trying to make "exciting" through storyboards. I might reformat it entirely to be more text heavy, or figure out a way to save more time on each page. Regardless, it's time to finally admit that DelaPast is officially taking a hiatus until further notice. I don't know when it will be back, or how, but it WILL return. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading Delaware Pastoral so far! Elliott and Wentworth will be back soon, I promise :) For now, feast your eyes on this unfinished page, as a little treat.
