Page 169: Shem the Penman
We’re back! And diving straight into chapter seven! This chapter, which is a grotesque self-portrait of Joyce himself, is my personal favourite, and I couldn’t wait any longer. As usual, I expect to feel confident in this style just before I don’t need it anymore.

New Domain Name
I’ve finally got around to registering this site as www.wakeinprogress.com. Let me know if anything stops working, because it’s all rather mysterious to me.

The Ballad of Persse O’Reilly
The three separate pages of The Ballad of Persse O’Reilly have finally achieved their ULTIMATE DESTINY! Including faithfully-transcribed SHEET MUSIC! If you play this and upload it to Youtube, you’re almost guaranteed to become the next Rebecca Black.
If you think you need a fancy art print of it, then you can find it here! Word to the wise: the smallest size is basically illegible, but it didn’t give me the option not to offer it.

Page 36: a nice how-do-you-do, re-do
More fresh inking. I’ve adorned this one with text from the James Joyce Literary Supplement, to commemorate it being printed on their cover last year. I hope they don’t mind...

Page 45, version 2
Doing the comic has put me in an inking mood, so I finally got around to redrawing the Ballad of Persse O'Reilly. Humpty Dumpty is the only big change.

For the anniversary of Joyce’s death, two in one day! I know, I’m really spoiling him.

Work stopped out of respect to my Wacom pen, which passed away over the Christmas break. By which I mean, the new one arrived this morning.

Page 103: by the waters of babalong
This is the last page of chapter four. And although I know I’ve left a lot of gaps that will need filling at some point, it still feels pretty momentous to me. I posted the first page of chapter four in July 2011, and it’s the last of three connected chapters that I started in October 2010. So I’m pretty happy to be moving on. You can expect a lot more skipping as I race towards chapters seven and eight, which are my favourite parts of the whole book.
