But instead it’s past time I update people on the status of the comic. If you’ve taken a look at the main page then by now you know that the comic is on hiatus. There isn’t a lot I can do about this – if the artist isn’t producing strips then I have no strips to post.

I’m not going to go into details about what has been going on because it deals with Joseph’s personal life. Suffice it to say that the situation isn’t entirely of his own making so I’m trying to be as patient with him as possible, which is why I didn’t start looking for a replacement artist weeks ago.

I’m not sure yet how this is going to change various plans. We’re supposed to be hitting a small convention a fortnight from today, and as far as I know we’re still on for that. TMB t-shirts are likely to be delayed… which probably isn’t a huge loss as even before the hiatus I’m not sure we had enough of a readership to make them profitable. I’m not sure what other conventions we may or may not be doing this year. Money, at least for the immediate future, is likely to be tighter than anticipated, so we’re just going to have to play it by ear.

In addition to more TMB to offend and amuse you I have a few more projects I hope will see the light of day this year. So we hope those of you who enjoy the strip will stick with us until we’re back on our feet, and if not… well we never really fucking liked you anyway.
