Sorry todays comic is shorter than the ones last week. It was meant for a Monday update, but the move last weekend involved a lot more time/effort than I expected… and the lack of internet meant I didn’t even take my lappy out of its case. Then, I lost a bunch of work when my power died Tuesday… and didn’t come back on until it was almost Wednesday. And my downtime at work was destroyed cause I have been training my replacement at the hotel. It’s just been a busy week.
And friday morning we pick up the U-Haul and start loading the rest of our stuff to take up Saturday morning. So, if Monday’s comic is late… I apologize. Once June is over I should be back in the swing of stuff 100%.

Well, I just got my chops busted in the comments about how behind I am and yet how I tweet about games and other recreation stuff regularly. So, I’m writing something here, even though I hate doing that, so you guys are in the loop…
To sum it up: my cousin got married in mid-May, so I spent a week in Texas for that. While in Texas, I got food poisoning, missed the wedding and reception, and was still recovering upon my return home. On my first day or two back at work, I burned the side of my hand and my thumb, and thus couldn’t draw b/c holding a pen hurt like a sonofabitch. And I’m moving 3 hours north in late June… so I’ve been interviewing for new jobs, checking out places to live, and trying to still work 40 hours a week. With all of that stuff on top of my brothers attempted suicide in February, I literally haven’t had a weekend to myself since January.
New stuff is on the way though… I’ve just had very little time to draw and my creative juices are flowing much less in my downtime due to stress levels. I’ve just about worked through my B4B writers block which I hit in mid-April and have some new GN’s ready for upload once I get home from work. Sorry for the delays and lack of updates, but I hope you understand the situation and stick with the comic once I get my life together eventually.

I mentioned back in February that the schedule might change to just one or two updates a week if that becomes the more managable schedule during all the inconvienences of living in the real world and not my imaginationland. Well, that has to happen.
As you’ve probably noticed, even doing two comics a week has proven difficult the past few weeks… that’s not because of more complications with the family situation, but because my move this fall has become pretty much official; so, I need to start the job and apartment search, asap. It has also taken a lot longer to do the newer artwork than I originally anticipated and keep needing to tweak stuff along the way… and since that adds to the time factor, I just can’t do 3 strips a week as efficiently (but it’s totally worth it, I think).
The new schedule will consist of Monday/Thursday updates (monday’s for sure, thursdays hopefully) and will probably hold steady until after I’m moved up there and settled in, at which point I’ll decide whether its permanent or whether a move to the M-W-F schedule would be doable again. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delays. I’ll hopefully get a small buffer built up soon and then everything will be on time again.

For those curious about my absence last week, you can catch up on it via my blog. I didn’t feel like posting it all over the place… if you’ve read it, you’ll know why. If you don’t care and just want new comics, hold your horses; they’ll be here soon.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention in this post that I was killing the Friday posts for a few weeks while I get my shit together. Life is hectic with some family issues and my dad’s retirement coming up. So, I’m spending the extra time drawing some new backgrounds, going back and forth between my place and the parents, and am still working 40 hour weeks. If two updates a week is more managable, you’ll see the schedule change from M-W-F to M-Th in March or April.

As you have probably noticed, I decided to take a break, post-xmas after all. I wanted to just push through the holiday season, but hits have been lower than usual with people traveling and out of their usual routines, I don’t feel well, and I wanted to spend some time writing and rewriting scripts… as well as working on future artistic changes (to speed things up and make it look better).
I’ll be back after this week but I just wanted to let you know that I’m alive and will be updating GN as often as usual (although maybe just 5 days a week for a while). I love doing these comics and I thank you for stopping in as often as you do. Hopefully this week-long break will be good for both of us.

I finally finished the merch I’ve been tinkering with for ages… and I even made some brand new stuff today just for fun. Check it out on the store tab up top or just click the link below to see what I have for sale so far. More is coming soon, and check out GN’s store in the next week or so, cause it’ll be getting some stuff as well!
