Hey Stan, I had a question for you that has been rifling around in my mind today. Two, actually. If they have been asked in the forums previously, I apologize for my lack of paying attention. Approximately how long does it take you to do a full page of the comic? And how many issues ahead are you usually working on, when the current one comes out? Say, when #100 comes out, approximately how many issues beyond that are you working?

It pretty much takes a full month or a little more to finish an issue. That is, with no traveling or other extraordinary distractions.

Issue 97 came out a couple of weeks ago, and I'm more than half way through 101. However, I skipped 100 because most of the issue will be done by guest artists, and my 7-8 pages will be a reaction to whatever they did. We're still waiting for a few pages to come in. I'm leaving for Europe in a few days, and I'll be gone for more than a couple of weeks. I usually bring work with me when I travel, but not this time.
