Hi, everyone! We're back on schedule and looking to stay there. Sorry about the delays earlier in the month; I've been working a lot of overtime, which put a lot more work on Isabel, both with the comics and at home.
We've also been working on things behind the scenes like the new You Say it First cast page. Isabel drew new images for very nearly everybody, and I re-read the comic in its entirety. More than that, I revised things as I went. Typos were fixed. Lines were re-written for clarity and brevity. Punchlines were punched up. A very small number of comics were re-written for continuity. (For example, in the original version of this comic, it was Brisbane's department that met quota. We've established that Brisbane doesn't have a department, so that got adjusted).
This process, going through and revising the comic into a the next draft makes me feel like a writer. I've been reading writerly things lately, and the idea of revising and improving things appeals to me. So, should you re-read the archives? Continuity has not changed. You don't have to. I don't think you'd notice a difference unless you had the comics memorized. Would I recommend doing this to other cartoonists? No. It's very easy to start fixing things and never stop. But I feel better for doing it, and I think the comic is a little better as well.
