Those darned circus tents

One more attempt at circus tents. It won’t be the last. I want to create a majestic landscape, with towering tents and roller coaster rides, with a magnificent mountain range in the background. I do know that Acapulco is surrounded by jungle, but this is my Acapulco.

The big news is that I sold another book today. That makes 5 books this year. My career seems to be on an upward path.

Today I finished adding text bubbles to all 41+ images. I’ve changed all of the text to the Komika Slick font, and I’ve got Betty’s hair close to the same color in all of the pictures. However, I still have to correct the color of her pants in several pictures, and I have to add my mouse twins to several pictures, not to mention create a cover image, put everything into InDesign, and tweak away endlessly. I’m going to miss my August 31 publication date, but I feel okay. I’ll be a week or two late, but light at the end of the tunnel is blindingly bright.
