Well, it's been a while since I gave you guys a blog update so I thought now would be a good time to get back to it. The last few weeks have been a bit less productive than we had planned. For that I want to tell you all that we are sorry. It's been one of those periods where nothing seems to happen as it should. But, all things pass, and I think we are about back to normal. The worst part is that we were not able to attend the two conventions we were planning for October. We were all looking forward to meeting more of you but that I suppose will be delayed.
The good news: We are confirmed for a one day show on November 13th in Iowa, in a suburb of Des Moines. There's more info about it in the sidebar towards the bottom of the page. Get there if you can! We would love to see a solid attendance.
Additionally, we are working on a number of things. First of all is our print endeavor. We are in the process of going back into the archive to clean up, re-edit, and reformat all of our comics thus far to prepare for the first O of A book! Now don't get too excited, it will be awhile yet before you see the results. One thing we are finding is that we have been taking a little too much advantage of the tremendous freedoms an electronic format provides. This means that our comics are not fitting well on the templates for a book because of some of the wild shapes and sizes we use to illustrate our story. It's taking us some time to find the answers but we're getting there. In the mean time, we are looking at doing a mini comic for print to give everyone a taste of what it will be like. This will most likely be a small collection of stories and strips from O of A kept exclusively in black and white and made available through our webstore and at conventions. Signed copies will be availble too.
Another thing to keep your eyes open for in the future? O of A animated shorts. That right, at this moment, we are slowly working towards expanding Objects of Amusement into animation. The comic will remain as it is and continue unaltered, but along with it you will eventually get to see short animated episodes based on the comic and the characters adventures. We are considering people for the right character voices and I am working on the music for the series. This will be a very slow process and may be next fall before the pilot comes out. We will definately keep you informed on the progress.

One last thing I should mention is our new update schedule. starting tomorrow, Monday 10-18-2010. We will be going to 3 updates a week. Posting as follows.

Monday - Broady's Poetry Corner
Wednesday - Regular storyline comic strip
Friday - Dex's Pick Up Lines

Occasionally if we are feeling saucy we might throw one up on Sunday too. Be sure to keep an eye on us and watch Facebook and Twitter for the latest O of A news as it happens!

I know there's more than this to tell you but I may have to save it for another blog. So I will for now bid you farewell. and untill we meet again...

Stay Amused,
Donovan K.
