Impossible…
Three months ago, in an effort to encourage myself, I wrote something on the bathroom wall at uni (they provide white-boards so students won’t destroy the stalls.)
Today, I returned and found a response written beneath what I wrote: “-Thank you!”
One encouraging thought can change a person’s world.
TDUGN Round-up: April
April was decent, May is not.
My hand is crippled with arthritic pain. I can hardly hold a pencil to draw my course-work assignments for uni, let alone TDUGN. If I manage to scrape some money together, I can visit the doctor and have my arm/hand progressively diagnosed; but, even if that happens I doubt I can afford medication. I’m also waiting for my copyright certificate and hope it arrives soon. That would really cheer me up.
Short-term Goals
- Complete Book One
- Complete redrawn pages of Book One
- Check dialogue for continuity, edit where necessary
- Optimise pages for print
- Have proof created
- Briefly admire proof, shove in drawer somewhere
- Complete story-arc for Book Two
- Thumbnail, Sketch, Ink, Colour
- Take time to complete Book Two, Part I
- Attempt to update twice a week
My Complaint to Blick Art
To Whom It May Concern,
I just received my rushed shipment order. Everything that I ordered was included properly, however, the cap to the bottle of Zap-A-Gap super-glue I ordered was broken off and leaked all over my items. I wasn’t aware of this until I picked up an item and my fingers were instantly glued together.
Thankfully, most items weren’t ruined because they had their own packaging, but I don’t have any Zap-A-Gap or skin on my fingers. I would really appreciate it if somehow I could have the Zap-A-Gap replaced free of charge, or at least have my account refunded for the amount it cost.

Typically, when I write complaints I try and infuse a bit of humour. However, I think the CSR in charge of my account was more disturbed by what happened than amused. Thankfully, she refunded my account as well as replacing my expensive, and effective, super-glue.
My only gripe now is that it wasn’t sent overnight like my original bottle of Zap-A-Gap. The reason I paid for overnight shipping was because I needed it the next day. My replacement should have been sent in the same method.

Update: 20 April 2009
I received my Zap-A-Gap replacement and it came without incident. For my troubles, the CSR apologised for not sending the replacement overnight and explained why it wasn’t. That was certainly my fault, I should have inquired; but, they are still sending me a coupon for twenty dollars. That’s really wonderful of them!
But, now… I’m assuming Blick Art reads my blog?(??)
