How Did It Get An Air Horn?

Hey folks. More bidness goin' on, like always. So sit back like your should and enjoy the ride, hey? Booyah.
Oy... several webcomics (that I bitched about many weeks previously) that have gone on hiatus remain on hiatus, a fact which irks me somewhat. Well, not irks precisely, because the peoples in question what are going on hiatus are talented people who need a break, but more distresses me. I've said it before, and I'll say it again now: hiatus is something that scares me because it can easily lead to longer and longer hiatuses (that's a weird word... like "fetuses"... hmm... anyhow!) until the term becomes indefinite. I don't like to think about good comics going down the drain, I don't. When artists need breaks because they feel like they're burning out, by all means, take it easy, alter your schedule, et cetera. But take care lest your break become permanent.
And one must always remember those who kept their comics going despite tremendous setbacks or major events (like graduating from college, getting married, and moving off to California
::cough:: me ::cough::). Hell, I thought I did a pretty nice job, then I talked to Paul Taylor of Wapsi Square. I spend three weeks futzing around before I send him a reply e-mail, and then around three weeks after that - in which time his comic has been running smoothly and updating precisely when it should - he writes me back apologizing for his reply taking so long. His excuse? HE BROKE HIS FUCKING SHOULDER! ::gasps:: And the comic was going fine! ::shakes head:: My e-mail took a long time just because I'm dumb and lazy - no broken bones or anything - and not only does he come up with comics of the same great quality, right on time, he does it with a broken shoulder. My God. So yeah, that's some dammed commitment right there. Read Wapsi Square, because Paul Taylor must love you guys with all his heart to be willing to put himself through all that - oh, and the comic kicks ass. ::grin:: Someone should send him a fruitbasket for being so cool, or just a basket with money in it. Seriously.
Oh, you people better pray I never break any bone in my upper body... hell, pray that I don't break any bone anywhere, as I've never broken a bone before ::knocks on wood - gently:: and likely I'd either be feeling sorry for myself, doped up on painkillers, or totally immobilized. Which is not to say I don't love you readers - I adore you people, trust me - but this comic is probably not going to happen so well if I had a broken in my body broken, yipe. I'd probably be bugging the hell out of people to do guest comics (nothing different there... ::grin::), but I'd likely be unable to do anything myself. Maybe scanning a constant stream of apology art... SHIT! I admitted I had apology art in reserve! RED ALERT! DEFCON FIVE! RANT MUST END IN POINT EIGHT SECONDS!! BREEP BREEP BREEP!!
Well, uh... erm... take care, and uh... see you next time, and... FISH! ::runs away::
Got My Final Limit Break,
