Hey Everyone,
Thought I’d give a little explanation on the lack of strip today. Bill needs a quick break. It was an executive decision on my part, one that he wasn’t exactly happy about, but I’m doing it for the good of everyone.
See, after we came back from vacation in September, Bill was supposed to have a change in work schedule. He was going to be working 4 days a week at his primary job, and than 1 day a week at Wildpig Comics. This was all done with the intention of being able to get more drawing done. The opposite has occurred. His hours haven’t lessened that much at his primary job, so he’s been working 6 days a week, plus drawing the strip on top of that. This week, he’s working a lot of hours. Putting the strip on top of that would burn him out, the quality of the strip would have faltered, and there’s a good chance we would have killed each other.
So this week, Bill’s taking a quick break from the strip, and instead you’ll be seeing full sketches of the characters.
I’m really sorry for the break in the storyline, and we’ll do our best to make it up to you guys in the future. We really do feel awful, but I know Bill, and he would have burnt himself out to get those strips done.
Thanks for understanding,
Dani


Hey you two!
I think, it is really no problem, that there wont be comic strips this week. In my opinion it’s more important that you can relax a little, so we can have good comic strips in the future. Your health and relationship are way more important than knowing how the story will end.
Best wishes to you two! I really hope the work situation will get better… By the way: those are really nice sketches!
Have a beer (or three) for me!
Please don’t feel badly; everyone needs a break once in a while. Plus, you’re gracing us with fabulous sketches.
The still cartoonish faces look a mite odd compared to the more realistic other aspects of the sketches.
We have all been there with working to many hours. Relax man, we can wait for more strips
I agree with Merle! But I do wonder…why no nipples…? Not that I have a prob with it, just noticed and now I can’t not notice you know.. X)

Glad to see you relaxing. Good call Dani!
I know Gavin is a big guy in comparison to all the other characters, but the full sketch really shows it. I think he could take John Cena, no problem.
Have a good break! Get some rest.
I’d rather Bill take a short time off with the hope he can come back refreshed, than see him keep going until he burns out and decides to not come back at all. Take care of yourself, I say.
