it has seriously been that long since the last page holy cheese
Well, I have excuses, for those of you who only follow the comic here (as opposed to being aware of me on whatever other sites I wander around on); summer didn't go as swimmingly as I'd hoped, and then I quit my job of ten years for Reasons (they were good reasons), and then one of my cats died suddenly a week after I left (that was the end of last summer)
and I was completely heartbroken because she was a pretty special little cat (it was not the cat who's shown up in a couple fillers, she was too young for me to have talked about here very much)
And then a whole other pile of crap sort of fell on me in sequence after that; parts of the house breaking down, the fridge busting, someone vandalizing my brother's van...
All of this while I was struggling to get some sort of bare bones structure to be able to set up a Patreon and actually, you know, make this comic actually regular again.
So yeah, last year was emotionally pretty rough. I may start using the comic as a vehicle to elucidate the frustrations that led me to quit that job, because they're a few too many to talk about in the news posts on the comic.
