On October 4th, 2010 I plan to bring the strip back in it’s black and white glory!
During the month of September I will be doing a lot of housekeeping on the website and refining characters a bit (sort of like what you see in today’s sketch) and bringing features and characteristics together a bit more to, hopefully, craft better drawn and fluid characters that I can do a lot more with in terms of movement and action because when the strip returns it’s gonna be an action filled fun fest (yes, I used “fun fest”).
Right out of the gate for the strip will be a HUGE story line that will bring our favorite robot back into the strip more frequently. October will reveal the entire back story of Robot Friday and follow all of the characters on an adventure to set the little guy right once more (as you may recall he was broken in this series of strips). Don’t worry, though, there will be tons of gags in the strip and even design and art related topics to keep everyone giggling 
I don’t want to say that this will be Robot Friday 2.0 or anything, but the sketchbook comic exercise over the summer has helped me tremendously in terms of refining how I draw the characters and how consistanly I do that as well. Because of this I feel that the strip can now be pushed a bit further than what I was doing in the past to open up new chapters in the characters lives, so you will definately see new things and hopefully have a lot more fun reading everyday.
Yes, I said EVERYDAY. I am still sticking to my five times a week schedule for the strip. In reality the strip will probably update three times a week with twice a week having sketchbook comics to round out daily content. But I plan to eventually get back to five strips a week.
Just know that there are a ton of great things in store for the remainder of the year. Over the next month I’ll be posting more sketches and blogs giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I go about tightening up character looks, back stories and refining the look and feel of the website and a whole lot more. So, spread the word and get peeps on board now because it’s a great time to start reading.
