Only working for WGA covered areas is prohibited during a strike. I can write
for my own pleasure all I want (though what that has to do with the nets is
anyone's guess).

I've got 3 comics per month to turn out (Rising Stars, Midnight Nation,
Spider-Man), plus the weekly Psycomic column, and the City of Dreams scripts
aren't affected because radio drama covered any more by the WGA, and I'm
writing a new novel, more of a mainstream book, and there's other stuff...I
don't generally have or take time off.

WGA covers TV and film and is working on covering internet TV productions.
That's it.
