11 more pages of the sixth Hardy Boys graphic novel to go. That'll leave the 6-page preview for the HBGN7 to finish, but still... I'm choosing to fix my gaze on the end of the 86 pages because a) it's closer, and b) I can then catch my breath mentally and creatively before tackling the preview.
Normally the previews are 6 pages long. However, in this case, pages 6 and 7 are a double-page spread -- and the editor hasn't gotten back to me on whether they're going to run a 5- or 7-page preview this time around. I've flatted up to page 5, and will cross the 7-page bridge if and when I come to it. (The editor also STILL hasn't gotten me a corrected blackline on the page 20-21 double-page spread, where a large area of black that should be there is currently indicated only by an "X". If the missing area of blackline is small and doesn't require any tricky inking I've just been filling it in in the color, and there've been quite a few of those in this particular GN. However, in this case the blackline crosses another area of blackline and will require some artfully applied white lines to differentiate them: something I'm definitely NOT being paid to worry about. I've sent them three emails requesting the change, and in the last email stated that if they didn't want the artist to make the correction, they should get back to me so I can take out the "X" and put in a grad, which will look all right but is clearly not what the artist wanted. *shrugs* Not really my department, is it?)
On Showcase Action right now, on the studio TV: the 1975 version of Rollerball, which will be immediately followed by the 2002 version. There are certainly worse things to listen to while you work.
