So, of course, I've just experienced a major life change.  In my downtime, between feeding and changing and rocking the Mighty Kong, I've spent a lot of time thinking about TORC Press.  What am I doing?  Where am I going?  What's the plan, man?  
I had a lot of ideas over the break to make TORC Press successful, these include:
1)  Sending submissions to larger comic publishers, in hopes of getting someone else to do the legwork of publishing my comics, which would hopefully generate additional readership and revenue.
2)  Creating Children's Books.  I feel like a line of Dolphin Bros Kids Books could actually prove to be successful.
3)  Making a Video Game.  Video Games are one of the few creative outlets that can actually make legit money nowadays, and I feel like a Retro style game featuring the Dolphin Bros or Cozmic Taco would be cool.
But here's the thing.  After almost three weeks of caring for a Baby, I've learned one very important thing:  my time is now extremely limited.  I can only do one of the above things, and if I do ANY of those above things, TORC Press is, for all intents and purposes, dead.  And that's not hyperbole.  If I really want to publish through another publisher, I'm gonna need to spend all of my time preparing submissions, sending out submissions, getting bummed out over rejection letters, etc.  Same with Children's Books.  Before the Baby I maybe could have whipped up a Children's Book in my spare time, but that's gone now.  Again, I would have to dedicate myself to doing the work and sending it out.  And Video Games?  Well, first, I have to actually learn how to make a video game, and then it usually takes 5 years just to make a game.  And there's no guarantee it would make money.  I'm not interested in devoting 5 years of my life to a gamble.  To be frank, all 3 of my little ideas are gambles.  If I pick a thing, I have to devote myself to that thing.
But here's the real problem:  I love TORC Press.  I love making my little comics.  As much as I would love to make a living off of TORC Press and make comics full time, I also know that there's no real money in comics, especially when you consider there's no Medical/Dental/Retirement in our industry.  Meanwhile, I have a great Day Job that pays the bills and provides that all important Medical/Dental/Retirement.  I have security in my current job, and now that our current Governor isn't totally incompetent, I feel like there's no danger of the University I work at being shut down, so that's nice.
A lot of Independent Comic Folks tend to go on "Hiatus" after they have a kid.  Oftentimes that "Hiatus" can last till the kids are teenagers.  I can't do that.  I HAVE TO MAKE COMICS.  Making comics is like breathing for me, without them I will die.  Hiatus is not an option, especially a 10 year hiatus.  But I also have to acknowledge that I can't keep up with my current pace.
So, here is the current plan:
1)  I'm shifting the Daily Strips to a Biweekly schedule for the foreseeable future.  I'm a Dad now, and I have to accept that I just can't do 4 strips a day, every day, week in and week out.  From here on out, I will have an ON week where all 4 strips will run, and an OFF week where I will prep the next week's strips, and run easier strips, like "The Fool & Kong" or Autobio strips or Sketches or other bonus material.  Hopefully this won't upset my Patrons and Regular Readers too much.
2)  Oh yeah, I'm starting a 4th Strip this week.  I know, I know, all this talk of not having any time, and yet I'm starting a 4th Strip.  Well, I'm me, and I'm crazy.  Anyway, the 3 strip thing wasn't working for me.  I wanted that balance of a 4th strip.  Plus, I needed a Dark Strip.  I always have to have a Dark Strip.  Although I feel like this one is a very Fun Dark Strip.  Here's the Break Down on the Biweekly Strips:
Quixote Coyote:  The continuing adventures of everyone's favorite two fisted cartoon hero.  I'm currently about halfway through the "Big Pig Brigade" story arc, and I have plans for the next 4 story arcs afterwards.  Which means there's no real danger of Quixote going away any time soon for all of you Quixote fans out there.
Dolphin Bros:  The Sky Islands Mega Arc still has a ways to go, and I definitely want to tell this story in its entirety.  The current "mini-arc" (the Sushi/Clockodile Arc) is a little over halfway through.  After that, there's two more Mini-Arcs followed by the Conclusion, so we've got a long ways to go before we're done.  I've spent awhile debating whether to continue the Dolphin Bros Daily Strip after Sky Islands is done.  But then I think about how much fun I have with this strip, and then I want to do Dolphin Bro Forevers.
Cozmic Taco:  Honestly, I mostly do this strip for me, but the positive feedback I've gotten from my Patrons has really inspired me to continue on.  When I started the strip, I was intentionally trying to get away from doing a "Kirby Strip", but honestly, that plan has went out the window.  This strip is my Kirby Strip, and over time the Kirbyness of the strip will become even more prominent.  I have a very thick stack of strips that I've already penciled up, so there's no danger of me running out of material any time soon.  Eventually though, I would like to move on from the One Page, self contained strips and move on to longer Story Arcs, similar to Quixote and Dolphins, with most of the series focus being on Aleph, Octopus Jones, Death Moth, and AliceIsLost (aka the Big 4).
Spook House:  My latest attempt at a "4th Strip" after the failure of "Slime Trail".  "Spook House" is my Dark Strip, satisfying my need to sling thick wads of ink and draw Monsters and stuff.  It's not a straight up Horror Strip, instead being heavily influenced by The Addams Family and the Munsters.  The first few weeks of the strip will feature a lot of World Building, as I'll be introducing the Spook House itself, as well as the Bandersnatch and his creepy Family of Monsters.  Eventually, if I feel like the strip is worthwhile, I'll start expanding to longer arcs with Spook House as well.
Anyway, that's the plan.  Again, if you're a Patron or a Regular Reader Who Buys My Books, I would like to thank you for your Support.  I hope that I can continue to produce fun, exciting, weird, and entertaining Comic Strips for your enjoyment, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the ride.
