Whoops! Apologies and cross-promotion.

"WAIT, THAT'S NOT ROBOTECH! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!"

Well, what you're looking at is the reason why there hasn't been any posting since the thirteenth. I even actually recorded a Roboblog Chronicles video right before I posted last, with every intention of putting it up and then putting up the other thing in the evening.

Ha! Alas, my enthusiasm for my current endeavor killed all those plans. What really sucks is that I have to rerecord it, too, once I want to post it, because it contained time-sensitive material.

Thing is, I literally haven't slept for more than six hours within the past three days because I want to spend all night chained to the drawing table, working on this personal project here.

I haven't actually mentioned what this is. It's an ongoing action/adventure/sci-fi/fantasy/romance/drama webcomic thing based on a universe of ideas that have been rattling around in my head forever, anchored by a character I created when I was three years old. So yeah, crazy stuff. It's called Scwonkey Dog, and can be found at www.scwonkey.com. I'm eleven pages in right now, and I started on page twelve this afternoon. I've also been going back and redrawing things all along, because the old drawing muscles are only finally starting to get warmed up and some of the early art is kinda weak as a consequence. Though I've reached the point where I'm thinking, "Meh, as long as it isn't TOO ugly and gets the idea across, it stays."

I'll probably change some of those drawings later anyway, though. I can never quite leave things well enough alone.

Anyhoo, as I said in the Twitter box on the sidebar, it feels so damn good to be getting all excited about something of my own, something spinning from my own head, instead of worrying and fretting about someone else's property. I still love ROBOTECH to death, but y'know, as long as I'm on this high, posting might be light to nonexistent. Sorry, folks. Not saying I'm quitting -- not quite yet -- but we may be on hiatus for a while. Which is a shame, because I do have something really cool I want to share. Maybe after I hit the first real cliffhanger ...

Watch This Space

If I had all night, you would be awash in a sea of multimedia here at yon Roboblog in the wee early morning hours of Tuesday. But alas, tomorrow I return to the salt mines for another fun-filled year of assisting in the education of America's youth, who as we all well know are Our Future. So I humbly request your patience, and hopefully tomorrow afternoon I'll be able to chop and form some new media sitting here on the hard drive for your education and entertainment.

In short, as I say above, Watch This Space.

Your pal,

Jonathan

The Roboblog Chronicles: Episode 14

I am talking about toys this week. I've been thinking about talking about toys for months, and blast it, I don't CARE if I said I'd talk about MedMapGuy's ideas soonish, toys take priority! I want to wave toys in front of the camera! I have IDEAS! About TOYS! IDEAS! I AM A GUY WITH IDEAS!

...

Yeah, I haven't slept again. I'm sorry. Trust me, I was much more together in front of the camera.

Mostly.

I think.

I'm gonna go now ... watch the show, leave some comments, send me e-mails, etc.

I think he's on to something.

MedMapGuy talks about what may be the key flaw in Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles at RDF-HQ here.

My own thoughts on this will come later; I've gotta run out to the post office right now. Just wanted to put this out there for now -- certainly food for thought.

The Roboblog Chronicles: Episode 13

Yes, I know, I'm on a rather crap schedule right now. Kind of hard to keep on task when you don't see any good reason to get out of bed in the morning. But by golly, here I am in my orange Japanese Transformers shirt after a night of no sleep talking about ROBOTECH for all you good little boys & girls out there! Yes, for YOU!
