The Comic

hide dialog || previous - next

Dialog:

Panel 1:
Joel: *Sigh*
Joules: What's wrong?
Joel: My five-minute artisan bread seems to always come out damp.

Panel 2:
Joel: I wonder if I should decrease the cooking temperature so there's more time for the water to evaporate from the bread?

Panel 3:
Joel: Or maybe I should increase the temperature so the water will evaporate faster?

Panel 4:
Joules: Maybe you should ask your baking instructor from culinary school.
Joel: Oh no. She might consider this blasphemy.

All good things must come to an end. And so must the mediocre, and the downright bad. Where Home Run falls within this continuum, I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that my creative interests are no longer in just drawing comics. As such, I am ending Home Run and that other infrequently updating comic that shares this site, Topical Salve, where they stand. I hope you have enjoyed the ride. I certainly did.

This is not to say that I am packing it in and riding out of town. Instead, I am relocating and reinventing. If you're interested, point your browser here. The name may be familiar, but the content is all new. Plus, since I'm using actual blogging software over there, I have added flexibility to accomodate my ever-changing creative outlets.

And who knows? Joel, Toby, Walt, Joules, and the rest of the gang might show up there every once in a while. Berkeley Breathed couldn't retire his characters. I see no reason why I should.
