Important question for my readers
5 years ago
As we approach the end of chapter 2 of Rudek and the Bear, I have a few options for how to move forward, but I'm a little stuck on what would be best.
My comics are a passion project that I have been only somewhat successful in pursuing while working full time in education and raising a family. There have been a lot of stops and starts, creative blocks and self-doubt. One of my goals for 2021 (the 10th anniversary of starting this project) is to recover a sense of direction for my comics and creative output in general. To that end I've started a course of artistic recovery called The Artist's Way.
I'm resolving to maintain a weekly publication schedule, and communicate with readers when I need to take a week off here and there.
With all that in mind, I'm humbly asking for your input. After Rudek and the Bear Chapter 2 ends, would you rather see:
1. The launch of Zuzel and the Fox (pages weekly)
2. A new chapter of Rudek and the Bear (pages weekly)
3. Both concurrently (alternating biweekly publication schedule)
4. Something else (I'm open to all ideas and suggestions!)
Thanks as always for your support of my comics. Best regards,
Pete

I guess I don't recall what Zuzel and the Fox comic series is about? Any update from your comics is good though.
Rudek and the Bear has come such a long way, and it's been a delight to follow the story as well as your personal growth as an artist.
Plus I always love spy stuff!
I deeply enjoy all the little stories you've got running in RatB, and the new bits you're adding on. (I'm still curious how our caribou friend and the radio operator are doing).
That said, I'd be game for whatever you want to put out.
If I had to vote in order of preference, I'd say : 2, 1, 3, 4
You might want to put a Google Form up for folks to vote in!
The advantage of a single project is of course obvious. You can fully focus on it ...
But then again a lot of people have been waiting on Zuzel so both concurrently might be the the best option.
