Priorities
Posted on July 2, 2014 by p.j.
Ahhh, I feels good to get behind the drawing board again.  What a ride it's been the last few days.  Yikes.  Thanks to all the well-wishers. I'm sure there are some of you may have forgotten what happened to Lucy and Amelia's home, or maybe you joined us here at Flatt Bear after it happened.  For those folks, a reminder can be found right here. This might better explain what's going on in the last frame of today's comic.  And keep in mind, they are now roomies with our big spender bear.  That can be found right here.
  In other news, a quick run-down of what's to come: Friday's strip will close out our current story arc following Duffy and his spending shenanigans. This will put a bunch of thing into motion. Next week I'll just run some comic randomness in preparation for the week after which is reserved for guest strip week.  I have some great guest strips lined from some very talented and very generous artist buds.  In fact they are all so good I couldn't choose which ones to run on my normal Monday, Wednesday, Friday update schedule, so I've decided to run a strip all five days including Saturday. As for what's next after that?  Glad you asked.  Some thing will be happening in Flatt Bear which have been a long time coming and is the final piece to align the back story (and front story) to where the strip should be from the beginning.  And, as an extra bonus, there's rumors of a new character...  or two... or three coming soon.  Yep.  I think it's time to expand our cozy little lineup of cast members to include more folks. That's all I'll say about that for now, but I can hardly wait.  Some exciting times await us all. Cheers!

    I felt sure there was gunna be a rebuild with some of the wealth. I guess it was not to be so. Looking forward to the guest strips & the new characters to come

      That’s the thing about comics, it’s always the unexpected that’s funny and keeps you coming back for more.

      Me too. Now I guess I have to start writing stuff.

    I’m finally caught up to real time. It’s like I’ve watched all of Season 1 on Netflix and I can no longer Binge. It’s cool to not be behind the times but also sad to not be able to have nights full of Flattbear binging. What to do, what to do?

      You can catch up on Breaking Bad now. Welcome board Kenny!

    Duffy may have attended “Mike Tyson’s School of Finance” from the looks of it. 😀
    One? Two? Possibly three new characters? Looking forward to this! Keep up the great work Mr. Day.

      One for sure. He’s been in the script since this thing began. The others… we’ll see. We need to mix it up in here. Few more well cast characters might do the trick.

    Interesting to hear there’s more fun in the works and even though I’m a late-comer, I get to see this new with everybody else!

      Hope you had a chance to go back thru the archives and crch up on some of the backstory. Not necessary but will explain some things coming up.

    Sounds like exciting things ahead Pj, especially with Duffy’s house! 😉

    1. p.j.

      Indeed it is. I feel like my whole life has led up to this point…. Feels good…

  8. Michael corley

    Yikes. It is a real bummer he missed that fine point!

    1. p.j.

      He’s not ver observant sometimes. Or is he?

  9. Bill Murphy

    Oh wow! During the entire storyline I didn’t consider Duff could use his money to rebuild that place. You should add a link to the cartoon in your comic’s blog. It really has to be one of my favorites! 😀
    I’m looking forward to the changes you have in store for Flatt Bear. And I’m extra glad to see you are feeling better. 😀

    1. p.j.

      Thanks Bill. Yeah excited about the changes as well. Should open me up to some great gags and story arcs. I’m not sure what cartoon your refering too. More info please?

      1. Bill Murphy

        This one. I loved it!

          Yeah. I did go back and link it. I realized, thanks to your comment, I should have dont that in the first place becuase there might be some readers who didn’t see that one and have no idea what is being condemmbed. So I added the linke (thank you again) and I added a blog post announcing it as well.

          BTW, I’m glad you liked that one. One of my favorite ones to draw.

    Can’t wait to meet the new guy (s)!

    1. p.j.

      Me too. Wait, what new guys? Oh those guy. Me too. 😉

Give me my comments. I need validation.
