      Plus how things will be different next issue...

      It won't come as a surprise to anyone that we took a little more time off since the holiday season than we normally do. I have completely blown the monthly schedule and, for a little bit, I was considering throwing in the towel. It has taken a few people and more than a little effort to convince me that it is going to be worth it to move forward and I am not, at this point, completely clear on how we're going to actually do it.

      Next issue is our big #100 milestone and for us to treat it as just another issue would be silly. And so, after much talk and consideration, it is going to be the focus of a major fundraising project and a return to print editions for the magazine. Not just POD for subscribers; we have been talking to Jon Miller, who runs Envoy Distribution, and we are going to target brick and mortar stores with the issue. We are going to do a bit of a focus shift and start digging in to cover the real small press, the minicomic, and the zine areas that we just have not been connecting with since we started calling this Indyfest.

      I'll be killing the FREE ADS program. Frankly folks, I shouldn’t have to beg publishers to send in ads just to have them. I looked at the ads I had from last issue, ones I've used more than once, and the ONE new ad, that came in paid from someone who really hopes I keep doing the magazine, and I'm going to start filling the holes I filled with free stuff with Your ad could be here.

      Covering the scene properly and fully costs. We have been fortunate to have volunteers work with us, but it's not a sustainable practice, as people start getting paid work and wander off. We would love to be paying them, but when we can't even get free ads in without begging, where does the $$ come from? I'll tell you the truth. I burned out on it all, thus the extra delay between issues.

      My wife saved my downward spiral. She told me in February, Go make a minicomic, so at least you'll have something new for SPACE. I thought long and hard about it. I mean, my art... I've sworn off drawing more than once... I have scripts sitting waiting for real artists already. So, for me to make a minicomic, it would have to be with the goofy-looking characters I started with 30 years ago. And I'd already transformed them into real" cartoons in the course of Smiley's Comic. What could I do from that as an end-point? Turned out all I actually had to do was sit with a paper and pencil for a while and I was off to the races. With Timetrvlr #1 written, drawn, and printed, I kept writing. I’d just finished writing #8 as the deadline for this magazine hit. I'm going to start putting one minicomic out every month. Exactly how I started publishing in 1986. I'm gonna have to make an
