Not my most prolific year, but still a year I got some comix done. I would like to get more done. I cannot and will not promise a schedule. BEHIND the scenes, I am establishing some patterns. Even at my advanced age, I still must grow and take on challenges. I am still woefully behind in my respects. My generation is like this.
Recent events and discussion in real life, has made me take another look at my “creative” side.
Self assessment of today’s strip: The characters are way too big. The text is also too big. I need to make smaller characters. Also, I need to create a lettering guide to keep the text uniform. I don’t know when that will be done, but I will try to work on it before I make the next one.
The “writing” is always something I need to try to improve upon. Since I don’t write things down or have that “this would make a great comic” mentality, whatever I come up with is what is there. All on the fly. I did say a prayer to help out. I want to improve my connection with God rather than connect with people, that is saved for my real life interactions.
I do like the background, I used an Archie comic for help with characters and background. I like the Archie style a lot. That reminds me, I need to renew my subscription.
Not sure when the next comic will be made, as per usual, but as long as I slowly get them out, that is all that matters. I don’t see how to monetize it, so all I can do is improve.
The game had some major improvements, but a brother who plays games didn’t see the ability to monetize it, which is why he was so hesitant to play it on game nights. I may try to work on another one. I don’t know the future of Retail!? But I will try to create another game or two at some point. Even if its just within our church it will be neat. We shall see, God Willing.
The movie script has also stalled due to time, and the fact its expensive to print large documents. Thanks to Government Spending\Inflation and Recession and bad leaders in America, the price to print a script at Office Depot is now about $60 per copy. I don’t like writing things online because of intellectual property theft. The AIs steal ideas without giving any credit and are then turned into weapons of censorship against the people who created those ideas. It’s not the AIs fault, but its the fault of those behind it, who turn everything and everyone into a weapon of war against freedom. Such is the role of the “Satan”. They cannot create anything on their own, but they destroy freedom so they can have control. I don’t know how long they can go to war against God (and Christ), but that is not really my concern. All it can do is make me go inward and purify my heart before my own government is forced to kill every single citizen it deems a threat because it cannot admit a single “mistake” and correct its behavior. I still pray for the members of the powers and principalities, but I also see them as a reminder of why its important to repent. A corrupt government destroys its own kingdom because it cannot Repent (Pride), the same true for the Self. If one does not Repent and accept fault, then destruction comes, hopefully its not too late. Although its never too late, as Christ will forgive all Sins, but GETTING to the real Christ (not the magical, feminized and\or impotent protestant\Hollywood) version is incredibly tough.
It’s been said that the hardest (and most beneficial) thing for (hu)man [humans are meant to become like God through Christ] is to purify one’s own heart. God’s Grace is another topic of which I am not qualified to speak on, all I can speak about is the need for my own purification, to help be an example of someone trying to pick up ones Cross and walk up that hill. Even after stumbling and falling down, one has to get up and keep moving. Confession exists to help relive the burden of sins when one falls, but Pride keeps one from Confessing properly. That is why it is important to have a Spiritual Father, especially in this modern age where “most” fathers are missing or atheist because the Government-Media apparatus has sought to destroy masculinity and fatherhood, so it can replace it with single mother households that rarely if ever have a good outcome unless one seeks Christ and finds a Spiritual Father for guidance.
The Sixth hour is upon us, I must go now.
Forgive me Brothers and Sisters in Christ. May God forive us all.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

John 8:12-20
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.”
John 8:23
“Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world”
Wow, I can’t believe I got a comic up in such a “short” time this morning. Glory to God!
Thanks especialy to Ancient Faith Radio for providing the music.
This is the first comic on my new Surface Pro 9. I am trying to remember how to set up the environment exactely how I want it. In the war on the flesh, getting back to comics is part of what I would like. Also learning a language on Duolingo. There was a time where school was about learning facts instead of feelings or in some “blue” states, sensual pleasures uber alles.
There was a time where an education allowed the students to learn Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. Just the basics. That was the age where critical thinking was adopted, instead it’s been replaced with “critical theory” which is neither critical nor is it a theory. The more one delves into its origins (as with common core), the more one see thats that those behind it are on the up and up, instead they seem to be part of the group that “Dumbing Down, America” talks about. It is a conspiracy, of the worst kind because it targets and weakens\abuses children, so they cannot grow up to their full potential, they are too busy chasing after pleasures and temporary matters. I pray for all broken to be healed. I am not perfect and suffer in my own way…. look how long it took just to get to this point? 2 comics in 2023? Yikes!
Also, look at my linework, my subject matter… so many things that need improvement. No one would pay any money for this kind of work. That is what the real job is for: a recovering coward, broken by the media and government who spent trillions on propaganda trying to make humanity into their image, which turns out was even more broken and corrupt (and sad) than the one before it. I am glad that men are fighting back and discovering how strong their bonds are, and that God created man (and became man) so that Man would one day become God. Only through Christ is this accomplished. First, the healing continues, as the Brotherhood is once again established. Men need other men, before they get women, they must learn to be with other men. That is who they talk with about feelings and struggles. The moment a woman learns of a mans weakness, they devalue that man. Currently, there exists very little for the woman to ascertain to, unless they too reject Society and turn towards the Theotokos. I am not qualified to speak any more on that matter, just a little reminder of how the Hospital of the Soul exists for healing and of two main points\people of guidance.
Speaking of healing (and movement), starting next wednesday I am hosting a board game night that will occur weekly, its a great time to get together, we are talking about having a weekly chess tournament, I am not that good at Chess, but it plays on the attack of masculinity (and God) by the establishment of my past, the only way to grow is through failing until one succeeds. This is also a good chance to play test my card game more, and the plan is to hone it, finish the instruction guide (make correction stickers) and get it really to sell in September. Providing of course society doesn’t collapse under “progressive nihilism”.
My movie script is also brought back into the light… there is a LOT of work to do on that. It shows how years of pot smoking can have an effect on clarity of vision. It’s ok, quite humbling in fact, and as of now I am not too sure on how to sharpen it, but that is where working with others comes into play. As Iron sharpens Iron, and all that. Working with others towards a common goal, can accomplish great things. No one trying to dominate another (that is for board\card games and war) but we are exchanging ideas to create an output we can be proud of. I loved the idea of the writers room, and only though Gods Grace will I get to experience it…. more on this later. I must run, there is much to do, and our days under the sun are precious……. and short.
Thank you for all the years of reading and patience. I pray you have success on your projects and even more importantly, God’s healing Grace be upon you.
