I don’t know about other people, but I’m already plotting for 2017. I know some of the comics I want to draw. (Attention: It will be a new theme. Yay!)

Add the distraction of Amazon Prime Instant Video, and it’s too much. I need to be done with it. I have better things to do, but I’ll never do them as long as I let the diversion live.
