OK I just wanted to give you all an update, First off sorry once more for the delay in posting but I think you will all be pleasantly surprised with what's been taking up my time. I am hoping by Monday (5/14/12) to launch the new Hodges Pond website.

Stay tuned here: http://hodgespond.com

The site will be completely different from what it's looked like in the past, thanks to some help of a very awesome friend who has asked to remain anonymous (but you know who you are :oP).

The new site will be a comic press site. Those of you familiar with comic press will know the format. The site, while mostly up will still be a work in progress. I currently have place holders for some items like the in the new character profile pages. I will be updating those as I go. I am still tweaking some things (as I learn how to use this software) and I hope to have an interactive blog and comments section up and running soon if not by Monday.

The site will also eventually integrate Critter County and Orville in its own comic press formatted pages. For now I am using the old site as a link to those older comics until I can get the comic press formats up. I am also going to eventually change the title image .
Why launch it now if its a work in progress? Simply put... Its MUCH nicer than the current site and I prefer to look at that LOL. Please feel free to stop by to visit the site on Monday (probably late Monday). Once the blog is up I hope you will take the opportunity to post your comments on your favorite comics (I love feedback)


Finally, I would like to send out a shout outs and a heart felt thank you to my anonymous friend, and you know who you are :o). I really appreciate you for coming to my aid and being there when I needed help. You're a true friend. Thank you so much for his diligent effort, advice and support. You really saved the day and improved the look and feel of the web site. Truly, I am in your debt and words will never be enough to say grateful I am for your help and your friendship.

I would also like to thank the readers of Hodges Pond. There was a time I had thought about no longer doing the comic, but its because of the loving nudges and continues support for wonderful people like you that made me realize just how appreciative people are. Its nice to know some one is out there watching.

In the coming months and hopefully years to come, it is my anticipation to move into a more consistent rhythm of posting (weekly). As some of you may now I hold a full time job that tends to keep me very busy However, I promise to keep this commitment to my readers that I will be more diligent in my postings and not let the distractions of life keep me from continuing the antics of the residents of Hodges Pond. Thank you for sticking with me thought my lulls and hiatus of Orville, Critter County and Hodges Pond'. I hope to turn more of my attention to Hodges Pond in the weeks and month to come.

I am often reminded that with out the support of friends readers like you, there is no point to the comic. After all the theme of Hodges Pond is about friends. So I say thank you. I hope you will enjoy the new site and I hope you will find Hodges Pond a nice place to visit.

Warmest regards,

Albert C Pena (AKA Balto)
