I'm not going to lie: there was absolutely no plans to continue to Dissect My Brain. There were plans such as the summer special and what I originally had in mind for season two of Dissect My Brain, but both never came to fruition. I had just taken on assignment as a student teacher, and simply did not have the time to commit to working on the strip. By the time winter came around and I had finally gotten free, I had felt that the series was long forgotten and had ran its course.
Then, just by some happenstance, I was visiting the Union Weekly office. I ran into an old friend by the name of Leo, and the strip came into conversation. Next thing I know, I found myself spending 12 hours working on this new edition. I can really credit the resurrection of the series to two people: the aforementioned Leo, and Hooker Fighter: Reloaded author, Calvin. The latter can be credited as I had seen how diligently he had been working on his strip, and he would lightly push me into working on new material.
What can be said about the Season Two premiere of Dissect My Brain? It's basically an introductory strip to those who were unfamiliar with the series as the last time anyone had seen one of these was last year in May. Prior to Dissect My Brain's return, the Union Weekly had been overrun by squirrel-themed comics, and while I have absolutely no beef what-so-ever with squirrels or the Union Weekly series, Nutty Comics, I wanted to establish right away that this strip is not like other Union Weekly strips. Tack on some new techniques for art, and you've got yourself a fresh, repackaged Dissect My Brain!
For the record, this is purely fiction. I've eaten some terrible, horrid stuff in my life, but I can safely say that squirrel is not one of them.
