Just Thinkin'

Hi y'all, I'm Bo Lumpkin and I've been thinkin'.

We have a whole new year comin' up and I reckon the big question is what do we plan to do with it. I'm more or less a spontaneous type feller that kinda just gets up and lets the day take me where it wants to. Bein' retired sorta gives me that luxury. I do have goals though. I actually accomplished some things last year in spite of my serendipitous ways. I got my studio set up (though not quite finished) and I am makin' progress on remodelin' the Rooster Roost, my man cave. I did cut my postin' schedule back to somethin' a little more manageable. I ain't tryin' to post 20 different things a week, and I'm havin' more fun doin' it.

I have some plans for next year too. I am still goin' to work on improvin' my artwork and I am goin' to try to do a whole lot more writin'. I plan to make some videos and I still hope to do some simple animation. I want to continue to support the other webcomics and their creators and do my best to promote them because everyone has been so good and encouragin' to me.

I really appreciate all of you who have supported me and encouraged me over the past couple of years that I have been doin' this. I am goin' to be tryin' to show my appreciation a little more during the coming year. You folks have been awesome and there was a time this year (when I was havin' brain trouble) that I was about ready to quit but many of you really encouraged me and gave me a boost. I especially appreciate all of those who did guest strips for me and I plan on acknowledging that even more in future blogs.

I reckon what I've been thinkin' is that I'm gonna try to get up each day and be the best Bo Lumpkin I can be and help all the folks I can to be the best that they can be and everything else ought to take care of itself.

Whatchall been thinkin'? Leave me a comment or write me an email to bo@bolumpkin.com and bolumpkin@gmail.com. I sure do like hearin' from y'all.

  2. Thanks a bunch George. Since I cut back on my schedule I have been happier than a fat hog in the sunshine and I'm really enjoyin' stuff now. It gives me a little more time to check out other people's stuff too.

  3. Are hogs happy in sunshine. I thought that's why the covered themselves in slop was to avoid the sun.

    Here's to a great 2011 Bo!!

  4. They eat slop. They cover themselves in mud and then lay in the sun and it dries on them. They look happy anyway.

  5. I agree with George Bo. Do what you need to to be happy & if health problems cause limitations don't try to over do it. Just wonderin' if you'd be better off just running one blog rather than 2. I had 2 going once before, my own & a separate one for Dixie & I just found it too time consuming so combined them both back into one. Maybe just having one would be easier for you. Just a thought though. Will keep supporting you whatever you continue to do as your efforts are always appreciated.
