Evil Eye's Newest Comic Strip Delayed

"Yeah, like I didn't see this coming," was Evil Eye executive Kenten Bowick's reply, after announcing that the debut of Evil Eye's newest comic strip would be delayed two weeks.

"The powers that be decided to push the newspaper's premier issue back two weeks, so obviously, the comic strip will be pushed back two weeks also."

Originally given only five days to decide on a concept and produce the first strip, Kenten admits that "the extra time could come in handy, though we decided last week to go with a Chuck Loves the World strip, sort of as a companion with the upcoming graphic novel. But now that we have more time, maybe we'll rethink that."

The strip originally scheduled for publication June 30th had already been written and drawn before receiving the announcement that it would be put on hold, Kenten said. "The sad thing is that we wrote that strip to specifically tie in with local news that week, and now it'll be irrelevent."

Kenten was quick to explain that even though each strip may tie in with local news events, they will still stand alone for a non-local audience.

"I'm just tying in local issues so that the strip will be accessable to everyone," he said. "But they'll make sense to anyone who happens across the Chuck website."
