And to everyone who discovered the comic during this little hiatus, I want you to know that things are going to start happening again really soon. <\/p>\n<p>I got halfway through the rough draft of the script I was trying to write before I realized it was basically Scott Pilgrim, but without a love story. While I WAS trying to write a larger-than-life, comic-booky story, it just didn&#8217;t feel like my comic anymore. And it introduced way too many characters, AND had Midnight&#8217;s mom &#8220;acting strangely&#8221; when we&#8217;ve only really seen her two or three times before. In short, the comic isn&#8217;t ready for the story I was trying to tell with it, and I put said story on the back burner. <\/p>\n<p>The good news is that I&#8217;ve switched my focus to a story that is a little more natural in this context. (The first script took me all of June and July to half-finish the first draft. The current one has taken three days to get to the same place)<\/p>\n<p>Here are some sketches from the story I was working on before:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-328 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/00.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/00-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/01.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/01-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/02.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/02-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/03.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/03-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/04.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/04-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/05.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cookingwithcats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/05-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To everyone waiting for Cats in the Kitchen to return I would like to say &#8220;Thank you for you for being so patient!&#8221;.
