Holy shit, I'm actually alive. Sorry about the radio silence, life has been an absolute cornucopia of drama! But I did plug into the comic whenever I could, and I'm proud to say chapter 17 is finished and ready to go up! I've been posting pages on patreon as I finished them, and then I put in a burst of effort and got the last handful done, which I'll be posting weekly-- and I'll do the same here starting next week. Thanks for sticking with me so far! This arc is very important to me, so I'd been hoping to really focus on it and deliver my vision to perfection... but better done than perfect, right? I'll hold that as my new personal motto and make it happen whether it's cringe or not. Until next week!

After almost exactly a year of downtime, I'm finally ready to pick the comic back up!

A lot has happened since the last update-- we moved out, I caught covid again, there was a lot of paperwork and stress. But then I figured, if I didn't resume this work, the comic would just languish and fade like my previous efforts, and I just didn't want that to happen.

So I'm proud to announce I'm back on my bullshit, and chapter 16 - the beginning of an arc I'm very excited about - will start on March 20th! Stay tuned!

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't had much to write about since chapter 15 began. Having finished all the page work for chapter 15 in early February, I'd hoped to use this time to work on assets and pre-planning for the upcoming arc. Unfortunately, my father fell very ill at that time, was hospitalized, and after weeks of struggle he has passed away.

I'd intended to write more, make this a proper formal announcement, but there's no good way to say "my father is dead so the schedule is up in the air". It is what it is. I'm fine, I'm calm, other family members are coping with varying degrees of success. Witnessing other people's grief is the hardest part so far. I expect things will settle into a new normal, but I can't even fathom what that normal will look or feel like when that happens. I also haven't had the heart to ask mom about what the financial landscape will look like without dad, but I expect things will be tight for a while. I don't want to shill my patreon when updates are so uncertain, but I do have a Kofi I made and then never used, so if anyone wants to send a little tip, it'll be a big help. Thanks for the support as always, and for following this little tale of mine.
