So... how are things going for the Carno?

Just still around, if not drawing or writing much of anything. :/
Today was the 1-year anniversary of my current job. It has had its ups and downs. The lower pay, later start time and crappy benefits certainly are less than ideal. On the other hand, though, I'm left alone to do my work -- no constant and pointless meetings, no bullshit about how my work has to reflect some "vision" that some middle management comes up to be fed onto the bottom rungs of the corporate ladder, nor how I have to list my "achievements" at the end of the year for some "performance review" bullshit. So I'm just bidding my time, slowly gathering and boxing some of my things at home, while I wait for the day when this COVID crap will finally allow me to make the ultimate move.
I have a few pics in progress that I will try to finish hopefully soon. And there are stories I need to finish. I know people are wondering how "Unresolved Paths" will get, well... resolved (*rimshot*). Also wrote one about that "Servicing the Cow" pic (completed, but needs polishing), and I have an incomplete one of how Grell joined the Archosaur Patrol.
That's it for now. Feel free to comment if you are curious about anything from any of my ideas, or my life in general (unless it is too personal).

But hey good thing you're holding up well.
I'm glad things are working out for the artist I fallowed long long ago. :)
Make sure to consult with tax experts meanwhile. The U.S. is known for a very unique thing called "citizenship-based taxation" that have snared many American expats before, and I'm sure you don't need that.
Although I still can't feel bad about the IRS taking a huge chunk of cash out of Boris Johnson because of it
