Next Week, I Promise

Sorry for the lack of update this week, folks.  I was traveling all this past week, first to New York City and then to Massachusetts.  I had thought that I might have had time to work on a strip, but things didn’t work out that way.  I will make sure that next week’s is ready to go well in advance, though.  We gotta get through this storyline (winter break is taking forever!) and onto the next one (oh wait, the next one is about winter break, too…).

Thanks for your patience, friends!

Long Overdue Wallpaper

It’s been much too long since I updated the wallpaper for donors, so thanks to all of you who have been donating anyway.  My inspiration this time around was from reading a lot of Calvin and Hobbes recently, so I did a little tribute to Bill Watterson.  Here’s a preview:

And I don’t know if I need to say this, but I have to constantly remind myself that there is a big gap between my age and the age of many of my readers – if you’ve never read Calvin and Hobbes, do yourself a favor and do so.  Bill Watterson may not have influenced my art style in any detectable way, but he influenced my humor and my views on the world in general.  Calvin and Hobbes is a bit dated sometimes, but overall it still holds up well.

Not a Perfect World

So, I have some bad news.  My family’s living situation took a drastic change literally overnight last week, and as such I’ve had to focus on certain things in my personal life.  Because of that, the comic has had to take a back seat.  Until further notice, I’m back on one update a week (Thursdays), and I will be trying my hardest to get back to two updates as quick as I can.  I know most of you are okay with this and your support is always appreciated, but I always feel terrible when I have to do something like this.  In a perfect world, you’d be getting multiple updates every week without delays or interruptions.  Someday, maybe my world will be perfect.

The Storm Approaches

Here’s the short version for those of you who are okay taking what I say at face value:  For the next two week, Bardsworth will update only on Thursdays.

The long story is that we’re going through another of those life upheavals that we do every so often.  I just put in my two weeks notice at my day job, but that two weeks is overlapping an influx of freelance work for Katie.  So things are going to be a little crazy on the home front, and I’m going to need to step back from the comic to ease up the chaos a bit.  The good news, though, is that with my day job out of the way, I can focus a little bit more energy into the comic, and maybe even finish up that pesky second collection (and try another Kickstarter campaign).

So, as always, thanks for you patience.

Yet Another Colorless Update

Sorry for yet another colorless update (and for still having one in the archive not yet colored).  This past week was busy with my son’s third birthday and a couple of horrendous days at my job.  I should be able to get both strips colored fairly quickly, though.  And things should be going much smoother in the weeks to come (more on that as I’m able to speak of it).  As always, thanks for your patience.
