Season's Greetings from All of Us Here at Grotesque Anatomy
Before I forget, I'll probably be taking a break from blogging for the
rest of the year. I have work off, and many family obligations
throughout the holidays, so I doubt I'll have much time to blog
anything. I do hope to have a "Look Back at Comics in 2003"
wrap-up at some point, but no promises or guarantees.
And if I can get sappy for just a moment, I'd like to thank everyone
who read this blog over the past few months. I wasn't sure I'd
stick with it for long, as I have a tendency to get really gung-ho
about something new but then lose all interest once the novelty
fades. Instead, I've been enjoying blogging about comics more and
more. I don't know if that enthusiasm always shows--I know I
lapse into snarkiness a little too often, and I'm not immune to the
malaise that makes its way through the comics community every few
months--but writing and thinking and reacting about comics has really
re-energized my interest in comics, both as a hobby and as an art
form. So thanks to everyone who participated in this and the many
other fine blogs out there: I know this is coming dangerously
close to schmaltzy "Team Comics" sentimentality, but you've all made me
believe that we really
can save comics.
Especially if we all buy more manga.
Happy holidays, everyone!
