I just got a heads-up from Jim my writer, that Popcultureshock put up a pretty good article full of lots of research and inside-info on Undertown and its foray into the Sunday Comics section of the newspaper. It's really a pretty awesome thing to be one of the top headline stories on the site, so of course I'm beaming!
Conversely this makes me pretty nervous, since I'm more then behind on the 2nd volume. If it's the last thing I do I have to focus!

But wow - this is still, seriously crazy.

Congratulations Jake! Proud as ever of you.
Congratulations man, though I already bought the first volume so seeing it in the paper isn't going to be that big of shocker, but still, it's a great achievement so you deserve the props. :)

If you're working from home, that can make it more difficult to concentrate, especially because you don't have a physical (and mental) transition from being at home to being at work.

In situations like that, I know some people will do things like lock themselves in a different room and go 'i'm at work now', or drive around the block to simulate driving to the office, or work at a coffee shop or library if they have to get something done.

Or... maybe you could get someone to confiscate your video games.. that might help too :lemon:

Anyway, congratulations again on dizzying levels of exposure and publicity, and hopefully well deserved great success will promptly ensue!
^^ That's great!!

Keep it up! :)

This... is so cool. I remember attending a seminar in college on politics in comics, and one of the things they mentioned was that the world of newspaper comics is an incredibly hard one to enter. People like the security of having the same strips they read as kids still be around as adults, so we get decades of the same bland crap and very few new artists. So yes - very cool!

And you'll get it done. You wouldn't feel stressed if you didn't have high standards for yourself, and I suspect it's those very standards that will motivate you to get through this :)
Wow, what a cool article. You totally deserve the accolades! Again, congrats, you little superstar you!
