I'll try to keep this one brief. Over the years fans and friends alike have taken notice of my mysterious absence during the winter months. The general explanation for this in the past has been some sort of annual vacation from comic work. While this is partly true, it's also a necessity on my part given one extra factor: Seasonal work.

I'm pulling some pretty long hours at the moment. The cash is nice, but it means that I tend to fritter away my free time on things like car repairs, laundry, cooking, sleep, and a bit of Christmas shopping. I wish I could say that I'm a live wire, or that I have the discipline to use my remaining time to write and draw, but that ain't me. I love sleep, long chats, and good meals too much to be an efficient artist during the Holidays.

In the mean time, there is a new, albeit late Fred Savage page. The next one may take a similarly long time to produce, but fear not! I haven't given up, or run into a bad funk.
