August 20th!!!!
New pages will start going up Monday, August 20, 2012. That’s the Old Gentleman’s 122nd birthday. Since it’s a Monday, there will also be a Friday post that will get us back into our regular schedule.
Thanks for all your patience with me. My mom passed away June 16, after a long and complicated decline. It was just impossible to keep the comic going, do my work, go to school and be with her. The comic was the low priority,but I’m behind in everything else as well. But life goes on, and we put one foot in front of the other and fall back in step with it.
We have a lot of ground to cover to finish out Book 5, another40-50 pages at least. Between now and the start date you might want to go back and re-read at least this issue, to bring you back into the flow of things.
See you Agust 20.

So sorry to hear about your mother.

Glad to know you are feeling better. We understand perfectly and wish you all the best.

My condolences to you and your family for your loss. I’m glad you took the time to be with her, so many don’t then regret it later. The comic can wait until you want to come back, it’s got a dedicated fanbase and I know I for one would be willing to wait a year or more for a good story.

I look forward to seeing this show get back on the road. And it being a labour of love, the delay is well understood! My condolences, Larry.

My condolences on your mother passing away. Our thoughts have been with you.
The hiatus gives me an excellent opportunity to read again from the very beginning.

Larry, I’m so terribly sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I know this is hard. Definitely looking forward to August 20, but hoping that getting more panels up is a way of restoring a little normalcy to your life, rather than a burden. Take your time; we’re a very patient and understanding bunch and know that good art and good story cannot be rushed, and that art sometimes gives way to grief.

Deepest sympathy for your loss.
