When I emerge the other side, whether glorious or shamed, know that I began the journey prepared for victory ...
EQUIPMENT
Item 1.
... CHECK. How appropriate that "Poop-Monkey #3" (from Ex Novo Libris book 1) and "Invention of the Microscope #3" (from Ex Novo Libris book 2) would both have crucial notes developed within the Pentalic Utility Sketchbook, an ode to which I wrote here. It is a magic book.
Item 2.
... CHECK. Canonical essentials are added to THE YELLOW FOLDER. This folder has been with me for almost 10 years, and one day it will be in a small, dimly lit corner of a Space Museum about the downfall of the human race.
Item 3.
... CHECK. No issue is completed without extensively ignored thumbnails.
Item 4.
... CHECK. One bag-o-pages. This presently contains all my working comic projects, including Capitol, The Civil Four and some miscellany. I usually do many things on a single sheet, sometimes even two pages. I know this is not a healthy way to archive, but what can I say? I don't believe in waste.
Item(s) 5-18 (DESK OF ESSENTIAL TOOLS)
... CHECK. Even when I fail to spell things correctly, the spirit of the dictionary is in my writing ... and that's all that matters.
MAXEEM INITIATES THE CHALLENGE
I know - I know - it's not a good start to break my "2 pages of finished inks per day" record just to cram some logic into a completely illogical story ... but, I would be kidding myself if I dropped the narrative ball here. Looks like Zander gets to bide his time while I sort out the mess in the yellow folder.
