TRESE TXTS Last night, I had this text chat with Kajo: KAJO: Budj! When’s the Komikon? I want to get ready for it! BUDJ: Oct 21 KAJO: Alright! I’ve got a lot of things I want to sell. Including TRESE #1 to 8. (At which point, I thought, “Trese #1 to 8? But we’re just working on #6. Oh no! I’m late with my scripts! DOH!”) BUDJ: Yup! TRESE # 1 to 8! And A lot of people are looking for NWA! Btw, the Komikon will be the anniv of Trese. We need to have a gmik for it. KAJO: We can wear Kambal masks! BUDJ: hehehe. I don’t think we’ll be able to pass-off as twins. KAJO: hahaha. You’re right. We’ll just make a poster. Anyway, we hope to be able to upload TRESE #6 in the next couple of weeks. (And I hope to finish writing #7 and #8 in the next couple of weeks as well)
