You know, to be honest, no one is more frustrated by our weekly schedule than I am! Scenes like the one that is currently playing out with Max are important to the story, but when you tell them one page at a time, they seem to stretch on forever. But it's easy for me to want to rush things forward, since my part of the process -- the writing -- is the least time-consuming. My partner Al does all the art, and he's got a full time job and a wife, so there are only so many hours that he can devote to the comic each day.
We're new to this, but one thing that was clear from the start was that we had to be consistent with our release schedule. People are going to want more than one new page a week, but more than anything, they want each update to be done on time. So we went with a schedule that we were confident that we could keep up with. (I'm secretly hopeful that as Al continues to draw these characters, he'll get faster at it, and we might be able to ramp up our update schedule. But that's just my wishful thinking.)
