So, I’m sure by now some of you are wondering just where the hell I’ve been and why the comic hasn’t updated in quite awhile. Well here’s the honest truth, I simply don’t have enough hours in the day to do it right now. I posted a break down of my current class schedule plus the hours of work that comes with that a few strips back. At the time, it seemed like a real challenge, around week 5 it was starting to effect my mental health. The constant workload, the stress of always having 3 more projects that needed to be done yesterday and not sleeping… well let’s just say it was making me “cranky.” No, that’s not fair to those that have had to deal with me. The constant strain on me actually gave birth to legit panic attacks and several, deep breathing “everything will be alright” cool down sessions.

So now you know the why, but what about the future of Gin and Comics? Believe me, I still love this comic, in fact, I love it more now then when I started the thing over a year ago. The comic will be back, and it will come back looking better then ever. Consider this the dreaded “hiatus” for the comic. It was something I was really hoping to avoid, but honestly, if I’m being productive, it’s not such a bad thing. I don’t have an exact date the comic will be back. When it does I plan on having a large buffer, a site redesign, a couple of character design tweaks and a few other surprises. In order to fit all of this in, with my still hectic schedule, I’m thinking it may take me around a month or so. I will still be posting though, mostly here in the blog, also, the archive will stay active right up until the site is ready to close down for the upgrade.

Lastly, some of you may be wondering where this hiatus leaves the Non Con.  Well the Non Con is one of several projects I’m doing that has caused me to make this decision. So yes, the Non Con is still on schedule.

Thanks for your understanding folks, again, this is just a break and not a death sentence for Gin and Comics, I’ll be back and making stupid nerd jokes before you know it.
