At this point, *I* have to reread to remember the story...

Your timing is rather good -- I just posted the first progress update in two years over on Patreon (for free. I rarely put anything paid up on Patreon these days, because jeez.)
https://www.patreon.com/posts/not-dead-yet-149087...

The short version: I am haltingly working through what I would need to do to restart the comic. I don't have a timeline on that at this point because life is, um. Complicated? But it is something I badly want to do, and it is something I'm making slow (TEDIOUSLY slow) progress on.

At the very least, the page that was supposed to finish this sequence is almost done; if I can just win a few more fights with hardware over the final panel, it will go up within the week.

After that the format is going to change for a little while to something more like an illustrated novel format, to try and make this more doable for me. I'm not *dead* sure when I will start posting those, but I hope soonish.

And yes... if I fail, again, to get my butt in gear, I'll try to figure out some kind of summary -- something that will give you guys some kind of closure. I really don't want to; I miss this story. But I also don't want to leave people hanging.

Thanks for checking in. Fingers crossed, THIS time I really will get the cranky comic-making bird off the ground.

Eep, sorry, I try for "obvious from context" when I use French but sometimes I fail:

Hob: Qu'est-ce qui se passe? (What's going on?)
Nik: Il pensait que ce serait drole. (He thought it would be funny.)

(For future reference there's a little "view script" button directly under the comic, and I do always translate any French in there. I can't actually speak French either, I'm just pretty good at Googling phrases. :P )

Huh, I don't usually self-vote but when I ran through it just now the full-sized pic showed up as intended. Try it again? I update the image in the morning, so it's possible you had the bad luck to click right as I was in the middle of moving the furniture. :P

And thanks for voting, it's a silly thing but it makes me happy to see the comic crawling back up the ranks. :)

Yeah, I have pages actually *queued up* and it comes as such a nice surprise on Tuesdays to wake up and realize, hey, I updated! Hey, people are reading it! I've missed this.

Dunno how long I can keep it up -- I'm still struggling with time and health issues -- but I think I can at least avoid the two-year burnout break again.

Maybbbee? I can use it and I'm logged in, for what that's worth. I'm kinda side-eying Intense Debate in a worried way though.The last time the developers updated anything was 2014, and it's not listed on their main site... I have the strong feeling it's abandonware. Butttttt I don't actually want to move to Disqus or roll my own comment code so as long as it keeps *mostly* working....

*backs up her comment database again just in case*

Yeah, my clever little "when last we saw" script is slightly borked, I think -- on the list of things to work on fixing.... Thanks for the backlinks, I appreciate any help I can get! :)

I KNOW! It's kinda spooking me too, I kept thinking it was just gonna break when I started putting new pics up, but no. The old site definitely needs a tune-up, but she still runs. :)

Infected yes -- plenty of signs, alas, though not all for Himself, and not predictably. Mountain people aren't immune to the frenzy but they are a reliably suspicious lot, so there were always a few heartening battered redneck pickups with Biden stickers. I didn't quite go as far as a yard sign myself, you gotta nominate Warren for that, but it was close.

(We aren't a dairy farm area, though, not any more. There were 80+ dairies in our county when we moved here in 1987. Now there's three. It's not an excuse for the shitty way rural America often acts and votes, but yeah, the decline thing is unfortunately very real, at least here.)
