I love Disney movies so of course if I look at a running basset I think of one of two things: Either Toby from the Great Mouse Detective or any scene of Dumbo flying. This panel is one of the first four I drew when I was trying to figure out if I wanted to wander back into Bassetville or not. It works well enough, not necessarily funny but cute. I like cute. I think I do it well.

I have had quite a week. Here are a few things I’ve learned.

1. only a handful of you followed Broken Muzzle over to the new site. (link withheld on purpose)

2. this blog’s traffic has actually picked up (guess you like the doggies)

3. riding the metro to and from work can be an interesting experience. Y’all I’ve been riding the subway to work everyday since I moved to Maryland and this week has been by far the most…eventful? Did you know PSPs could play porn? Yeah, learned that little nugget this morning.

Ew….

There is more to the week but I’m done numbering. Yeah, lazy. Anyway… “Bassetville” got some serious shots in the arm this week from a number of different sources. It’s still sore BTW.

There are still things to work out and new skill sets to learn so I won’t say much. What I will say is that I’m reigning in the horses (I hope that was the right word/phrase). I am also committing myself to once again being an all-audience cartoonist so broken muzzle is done, kind of.

The broken muzzle cartoons will be coming back to this blog. There are still quite a few left it is just that quite a few of them won’t get posted. I’ve been a bad boy.

As for the new Bassetville panels, they will continue but I will have to see where they go. What you will see along with them is a little more of is prep work for the new direction. Character sketches, redesigns maybe some style experimentation. Good stuff.

I am so flippin’ excited!
