With Heights and Malt Liquor
It was not our plan to go on hiatus for most of the summer but that's the way it turned out, eh? Issue the thirteenth, With Heights and Malt Liquor has arrived.
This is the first story I've written since last winter when I finished Issue 10. You'll find it the longest single issue I've written to date, a trend I fear will continue, I'm sorry to say. But the derelict denizens of the High Style have a way of treading their own course.
Other than passing mentions and very short cutaways the housemates have never left the High Style before, and its proving a fun exercise to send them out the front door and down the street in this issue and the next one(s) I'm currently working on. As much as SHSH is a valentine to my/our shared housing experience its also about a metaphorical Portland, which I've tentatively taken to calling 'Sump City.' Exploring and discovering and fleshing out Sump City might become the closest thing SHSH has to a larger 'plot.'
