To be honest, I always thought I would be doing this forever. There was a time when I had strip ideas planned ten ahead, and couldn't wait to draw them out on paper. These days there is no longer any joy in it. It's work, and since I already have a job, and I always swore I would draw this comic for me and me alone, I've decided to hand up my pencil. I've seen lots of my favorite webcomics come and go, and typically they do so without even bothering to explain why... the very least I owe you is an explanation.
The internet is cool enough without me and I'm OK with that. I used to think that if I was going to spend so much time on it that I might as well contribute in some way--enrich the webtubes... I hope I have, but I know that I fell far short of my mark. There's an elite club out there of good people that would have been happy to welcome me in, but life never got around to giving me the chance to try. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed; I have a lot of wonderful things that have happened to me. I figure it isn't fair for one man to have all his dreams come true, so in favor of the ones that have, I'm giving up on the ones that won't.
I was remarking to Becky the other night that I have a lot of hobbies... Really I don't have many, but the ones I do have take up a lot of time. The comic is the most intrusive, even though it is only posted once a week, I typically work on it 3 or 4 days, and during the time when I had a lunch hour that was relatively devoid of tasks, I was able to do it, even begrudgingly sometimes.
Now I don't have the time to write the comic, and even if I did, I wouldn't have anything to say. It's the old saying that you can't point your finger at a comedian and yell "Be Funny!" and expect results. I'm a hoot, just not on paper.
Anyway, enough rambling explanations. I'd like to thank my friends, family, and viewers for being so kind over the past two and a half years.
The experience has been legend.... wait for it....
