Oh, hello everyone,

I can't believe that it's finally over. The episode you see above you is the final chapter in the 4 part Megalo Life Xmas Special miniseries. At the beginning I said that they would be a bit longer and bigger than the normal weekly episodes that we're used to seeing here, but I had no idea that I would completely paint myself into a corner of understatement with the final chapter. Normally (if measured in real world figures like inches) the Megalo Life episodes are about 10" x 18" or so… with the last couple of episodes the physical size of each installment has been getting progressively bigger and bigger, because there was simply more and more stuff that I needed to fit in. So since Megalo Life is completely done digitally, increasing the length of the actual 'canvas' is not an issue, completely doable. But this week's episode, dear infernal gods, clocked in at 10" x 75" in its natural state. Yes that's ten inches wide (just under a foot) by about six foot three inches tall. O_O If I had done this as a 'practical' the whole thing would be an inch and change or so taller than me!

So now, it is over, the entire process completed and the Megalo life Xmas Special miniseries has run its course and is now concluded… this means I finally get a chance to sleep and will make a note to never ever again try to work on a single piece like this in one spell if it's over 3 feet tall in real life…

I do hope that everyone's enjoyed this holiday bonus, consider it my special gift to you, and my way of saying thanks for sticking with Megalo Life and coming back week after week to see what the next episode will bring. For now, I won't say anything about future episodes, except to say that they will not be this 'tall' ever, or at the very least for a very, very, very long time ^__^;.

But aside from this week's episode, and Megalo Life in general, I wanted to take the time to say thank you everyone, and from me, April, Wednesday and our little Salem:

We wish you happy, fulfilling and safe holidays! Take care, soak up the good company and good times that you can find, and may the coming new year be a truly excellent one for you and yours ^__^ <3 !

This week's commentary will be much shorter than usual as I really need to go lie down now and not look at a wacom, or a webcomic or especially any six-foot-plus-tall virtual drawing spaces… Take care, have fun this weekend and Happy Xmas, Christmas, Giftmas and Winter Solstice to all!

Holiday-y cheers,
