Those followers who were with me about this time last year may recall me posting this article, in which I explained both the purpose of Warm Fuzzies FLA! and why there’s been so little activity overall. In summary, its purpose is to bring you nerd- and geek-centric comedy; its sub-minimal activity is due to classes and other job-hunt related issues.

While some of the delays / issues mentioned in that article continue in one form or another, I have had a realization: There is no time like the present.

That seemingly trite phrase can of course be applied to many things, including such mundane things as paying monthly bills. But the greatest richness of that phrase comes when it is applied to a deeply personal project.

I have had ideas for Warm Fuzzies FLA! in my head for a very, very long time. And while it may sound morbid, I get sickened at the possibility of these ideas dying inside me. I have finally realized that if I didn’t get back to bringing these ideas out into the light now, I may never get them out.

The Bible makes it clear that God gives each of us at least one talent, and many of us receive several. Two such gifts of mine are the desire and the ability to write very deep but easily-understood Bible study lessons. (I post these separately at my other blog.) Another such gift is the ability to write comedy. So I’ve finally decided, regardless of whatever else may seek my time, that I must get back to my cartooning, or risk squandering these ideas forever.

My single biggest challenge right now is the actual creation of the drawings. My current process from initial rough sketch(es) to finished, publishable panel(s) takes too long. In fact, I just missed this site’s two-year anniversary (Apr. 10th) because of that.

Regardless, I shall endeavor to bring you cartoons on a regular basis; monthly to start with, more often as my process and technique improve. I don’t know what God has in store for me with this; whether I’ll be able make this a full-time living or what. But I have to try.

Feel free to post a comment as each new cartoon is published. And whether you’re following me via WordPress, Twitter or e-mail, please keep spreading the links!
