But those priorities can be very short sighted.
So easy to get into a war and so hard to get out... like a lobster trap
Watch out, you’re lapsing into real-time prognostication...
It’s just an indication of how far behind I am - I was thinking of Obama’s withdrawals from Iraq when I wrote this... life really is a wheel!

Anyway, there's a long inglorious history of political leaders not able to look at intel without letting their preconceptions and prejudices get in the way. Invasion of Iraq is a prime example.
Although sometimes the military commander does the same as McClellan let Pinkerton's faulty info reinforce his overcaution in the Peninsular Campaign.
I was starting to worry! Glad to hear you're serviceable again and returned to the company area. Hope it wasn't too miserable, but I can't imagine it was anything but. Do you go through the VA when things like this come up?
McLellan - the Montgomery of his day! Some people think neither one was aggressive enough as a rule... I picture him coming out of the box raring to go, but after getting a taste of the slaughter all of a sudden getting clay feet. Can't much blame him I guess.

Everything about that sounds like it was miserable, not the least of which is sneezing a damn tube out of your nose! But it sounds like the worst is behind you, hang in there boss.
Just on side note, I'm noticing less similarity with characters faces from panel to panel. Are you not using the same modeling software?
Oh man - it’s all new. New tablet, new 3D software, new drawing software, new computer...
I am using an updated version, which has caused a few issues because I’m also on a new laptop. The old files didn’t migrate over right so each one needs major repair... some of the base 3D images have changed, and I’ve tried to strip those assets back now that I realize how vulnerable they left me...but the biggest reason for the style wobble is that I’m using the newest version of Corel painter, and of course they dropped every single brush I used to use, and added a bunch of new ones. So there’s a lot of experimenting on each page, which eats into the time I used to use managing detail. So the characters have become a bit more amorphous.
I think I’m settling in on color (this is an oil pastel brush), but I still haven’t found a pen I like for the lines... once I do things should slowly stabilize...

Tamil and the Corps Commander try to convince someone with different priorities...
