Life
First I skipped a day, then I skipped a week, then I …
We recently sold our house/home of the last four years. It was something that seemed fiscally smart, but ended up being emotionally stupid. And something that, despite being fully aware of for more than a month, seemed to sneak up on us by the time we had to vacate the house for real and move into a, well, less awesome place. Despite my best efforts, the move consumed more of my time and attention than any move in my 37 years — and I’ve moved around A LOT. So much so, that I did almost NO work during the week of the move. As a freelancer, that’s suicide, folks. It’s not like taking a few days off from your job, where you probably can use personal days or sick time or whatever and still get paid. Nope, you don’t work, you don’t earn.
So, basically, I’ve been playing the worst game of catch-up ever in my life, and the new house still isn’t settled, and that publishing company I “run” won’t run itself, and, well, one thing had to drop, despite my best intentions, and that thing was … this webcomic. However, I do have the next several strips plotted/scripted and all I need to do is find a few hours to draw them, which is of course as hard as it sounds. But I wanted to drop in and let all two of you know that, no, I did not fall off the face of the Earth, and yes, the Utopian Foundation will continue. This unexpected hiatus might just last another few days. Thanks for your patience and readership.
