The forum will have some maintenance done in the next couple of months. We have also made a decision concerning AI art in the art section.


Please see this post for more details.

it has been a while indeed. and no, I'm not dead (except currently to the internet)

we've been bouncing around Alabama and Tennessee for the past two months, and only but a few weeks ago has my sister finally found a place for us to settle again.

The thing that sucks is that its all the way out in the middle of no-where. Nothing seems to be hiring within the vincinity of 15 miles (or more) from the house and my lacking in gas is not much help at the momment either.

For poor folk like me, its a known fact that unemployment (especially in this time frame) really stinks something horrible. I risk losing my car again and if that doesnt put the icing on the turd cake, then I'm also at the risk of losing the insurance that allows me to drive the dratted thing.

I had to borrow from my father again (which I hate doing) and to him, I tip my hat and give my thanks. I know he's having a hard time too...

But really, aside from all that, I'm still alive. Still trying to keep that smile on my face.

I've been thinking on ways to continue doing my webcomics. I know its been a month or so since I updated. and I know I risk losing an audience if I continue to not do them. But with the moving arangements and the unemployment, and the lack of internet at home has given me a perfectly good reason to not do them.

If I am to revive the comics, it will be next week. I'd be drawing each strip a week in advanced, and I'd be looking for some willing volunteer to update them for me until I can get a functioning internet.  - - But before I do any of this, I would atleast like to hear some opinions on whether I should start them back up with these conditions that I'm under.

please let me know something. your input would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks again! And here's hoping for improvement :)

If you feel like you can spare time just try and revive them! I'm sure people love seeing them(I did :) )

I could update them for you if you want. Good luck with everything Aves! Hopefully you can get something useful in that situation of yours.

Thanks for the update.  Sounds like a good idea, doing a bunch of them and sending them to someone who will update the web comic once a week or some other schedule.  I can update it for you, but I have no knowledge or experience running a web site or updating it so you may prefer having someone with experience at updating and running their own website to do so with yours.  

Good luck.

You shouldn't.  You need three things to live--you need to eat, you need to drink, and you need a roof over your head.  Sorry but webcomics don't make the survival list.  What I would do because you are quite good with your artistic skill is find a substitute, someone willing to take over until you are in a better finanacial and mental state to be able to take on the lead role again.
