For those of you who are interested in history, that little bit about Sun Bin’s writings on war, in the original historical record, led a lot of people to believe that Sun Bin was the author of the famous Sun Tzu’s Art of War (the “Tzu” in Sun Tzu is an honorific, “Sun Tzu” is roughly equivalent to “Mr. Sun”). It wasn’t until 1972, when archaeologists discovered an ancient copy of “Sun Bin’s Art of War”, that opinions began to shift. Most people now believe that Sun Bin’s ancestor Sun Wu was the author of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, but there are still a good number of people who argue that Sun Bin was really the author of the version we see today.
And yes, this is it, folks. The story of Sun Bin and Pong Guen is finished. I’ve had some uncertainty about whether this ending is too abrupt. But ultimately I decided to end it here for 2 reasons: 1) although some fictional accounts have more stuff happening after this part, this is where it ends in the historical record; and 2) one of my pet peeves is stories that go on forever, so I’d rather err on the side of ending too quickly, rather than letting things drag on for no reason. As I’ve mentioned a few weeks ago, I’m going to take a brief break from making comics before moving on to the next project. And I guess there’s no reason to be coy about it - I’ve decided to prepare a submission to Zuda. I know the odds are pretty slim, but since I was going to draw the comic anyway, I figured there’s no harm trying. So my next comic will be available on the internet again soon, one way or the other - if/when there are any new developments, I’ll make announcements here.
As I’ve mentioned to a few of you before, this is my first comic. I started this comic partly to see whether I really have the energy and sustained interest in doing a long-form comic, and partly to learn how to draw with a brush. It’s been a phenomenal experience for me, and that’s mostly thanks to you all - the comments and emails from you guys have kept me going probably more than you can imagine. And to all of you, whether we’ve communicated directly or not, I say thank you very much for spending your time in joining my “maiden voyage” into the world of comics. I wish you all the best, and hope to see some of you around again when my next comic starts
