Watch This Space
Added 2023-11-20 06:24:12 +0000 UTCI scanned Stephen DeStefano's storyboard for the Welcome to Eltingville opening title sequence. I'll be posting it here in the next day or two.
In other news, my father died last week. So things have been weird. Not sad. Well, sad, but not in the way someone might expect. Like my sister said, it's a sadness for what might have been. My father is undeserving of my sadness. I would not have gone to his funeral if it was held downstairs in my dining room. As it was, he got dumped or cremated or whatever way out in Hawaii. I don't know what Hawaii did wrong to get him, but I was glad he was far away from NYC.
Some of you may have seen my posts on social media about this situation. If you haven't, basically, I just wanted to let folks know I was in a weird space and that no condolences were, or are, necessary. I'm only sad because I'm not sad that my father died. I'm sad for what could have been. I'm sad for a sister and brother who grew up without a father, even though they saw him every Sunday. I'm sad for other reasons. I may be a mess but at least I'm not like him.
I'm also sad it killed a week of my time. Today I got some things done. I scanned some art and the storyboard stuff. I drew a little. I played Animal Crossing. I cleaned up the studio some. I called in some prescription refills. I did some laundry. I ate dinner and watched a movie with my cat asleep on my stomach. I boxed up some books to make room for other books. I posted to the Patreon. I wrote this.
Tomorrow's another day.

It's another "what if" that I try to not think about too hard.
