Attentive Goth House fans will notice that I cheated with the image this time. It appears toward the end of the first collection (Episode 11). It was the firsttime we find out they have a band.

A good ten years ago now, I got the idea for a longer series about the rise and fall of their band. For about ten years, I have written scripts(that I liked for a while and then stopped liking), drawn sketches (for discarded storylines),and even inked finished pages (for those same discarded storylines).

Because of this, I think it is bad luck to make any promises regarding this story.But I also realized that unless I actually committed to it -- you know, startedpublishing pieces of it in some semi-public forum, like the web site -- I would never, ever get it finished.

So, I'm not promising anything.But, this year, when you see episodes about the band, they are actually going somewhere.
