I have no issue with an issue not having me

I just learned that issue 11 of the Kaboom! Peanuts comic book series (coming out later this month) will not have any of my stories in it. I’m only pointing this out because I didn’t want anyone buying the issue, not seeing a story from me, and assuming that I’m off the book or somesuch. I’ve already sold five more completed scripts (including at least one slated for issue 12), and am gearing up to pitch more stories.

Admittedly, there’s a small bit of my organizational brain that would have preferred being in consecutive issues, just because it’s easier to tell people “I have writing credits in issues 7 through 15” than “7 through 11 and 12 through 16.” But through such challenges in life, I shall persevere!
