Fornever
September 24, 2014
Been a while since the last strip, huh? There are a bunch of reasons for that, several of which I’d actually written strips about — and then this strip happened, which kind of goes a way to explaining why none of those other strips made it up.
At the very least, it might help explain certain things from this comic…
You ever coming back, man? Or are you done for good?
Hard to properly answer this question, but short answer is I am planning to return eventually, I'm just not sure when. Longer answer is that 2014 pretty much depleted all the steam I had, and it's been kinda gruelling trying to get even half of it back.
Ultimately, decided an extended break would be better than forcing updates that had no heart in them. (Also it didn't help that, whenever I'd try to come up with something based on current events, it'd feel like I'd already beaten myself to the punch with this strip! https://www.asyoureup.com/strips/2013/07/life-in-a…
Having said that, I have been working on a number of newer strips (some finished, others still just sketches/scripts) which will definitely get posted, once there are enough to recreate the momentum I lost…
Ha ha, I totally understand. I'm a webcomic artist myself, and I know the futility in forcing yourself to create. It's a bit easier with a story-based webcomic, but sometimes I still just need a break to fall in love with the process again. Take your time!
Drawing yourself drawing yourself drawing yourself. This is what purgatory must taste like…
It's like a matryoshka doll of narcissism!
