Full-time work (or lack of) and updates.
Yes…. I know…. I haven’t been exactly consistent in my updates.
My only excuse is my full-time job is getting in the way. Since the layoff at the end of March it’s been a full-time job looking for a full-time job. Add in the light depression and hit on confidence a layoff brings and you can maybe see why OSS gets pushed off.
Sorry about the gaps. I know mine is a first-world kind of problem. Lots of people have much bigger problems. I have to remind myself of that every once in a while.
Anyway, the job hunt continues. I’m also looking for freelance illustration work. I’ll be in the next edition of the Directory of Illustration book coming out early next year. My page on their site is https://www.directoryofillustration.com/artist.aspx?AID=10908.
Spread the word.
Thanks,

Have you considered using Patreon to generate a bit of extra income from your strip? There are some of us who’ve been reading since the beginning who might be willing to contribute a buck or two.
Joe,
Please don’t let a layoff erode your confidence. You didn’t get fired – That’s a hit to the confidence.
I don’t make a whole lot and have never done Patreon but I will if you do put one up.

Hi Lee and Zyxian,
Interesting thought. I hadn’t thought of Patreon. I don’t think I can do it just yet. I’ll need to build my reader base back up before I can ask for donations. I’m only getting 5 – 20 views a day right now. I’ll also need to post on a regular schedule and have perks for people who might want to donate more than a $1 a month.
You have me thinking though……
Joe
Well, you’re on my “check daily” list again, now that you’ve resumed updating. I’d like to see more of something offered as an extra value! Don’t know about getting the extra hits, though. Project Wonderful, maybe?
Hey Joe.
How goes it?. I hope you are doing o.k. Would love an update.
Stay safe.

Hi Zyxian,
Thanks for asking. Still here. The family is all well and healthy.
I’ve been doing freelance but that is mostly dried up. But who knows? All this free time we all have… maybe I’ll finally get OSS up and running.
I hope all is well with yourself.
Stay safe.
Joe
