After two months of feeling empty and being terrified I might have some awful illness, I actually feel like and desire to work on my comics! This is a wonderful feeling!
Granted it hit me while I was at work, but still...
I had been pecking away at an image of Tlaloc for a couple of days, nothing serious, but I was at work and suddenly I NEEDED to art. Unfortunately, they don't want me drawing there so I had to sneak a tiny piss-poor sketch (that I threw out anyway) while trying to stay out of sight. Now I am home, updating this, checking my email and dashing back downstairs to do more drawing.
Nothing breathtaking is going to come from this, but it's something. And I love it. I feel like the switch has suddenly come back on.
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART:
I was telling someone that if I ever felt like drawing again that I would do a buffer of GF so I could do some updates and they asked a very, very important question: Why?
Seriously, why AM I killing myself and forcing myself into slumps of failure just to update a page that's half done or half assed?
So from now on, GF is a randomly updated comic. It works for Maggot Boy, Zebra Girl and Mokepon, it can work for GO FISH.
This, hopefully, will assure completed pages that are 100% to my approval, sans shame.
It feels really great to be in love again. Thanks for sticking with me, guys, I hope to not disappoint you!

God Damnit! This is the happiest thing I've heard you been since this comic began. Screw this comic, STAY HAPPY! :D
Happy news indeed!
Seriously, congratulations on getting your groove (even slightly) back.
I find scribbling even without telling a story good for my soul.
Yay! <3
AWESOME! I'm really glad to hear you're feeling peppier and I wholeheartedly support your decision here. This whole thing is your baby--you should work on it as you see fit. Much love to you and if I don't talk to you before then--have a happy holidays, babe! <3
I'm so happy to hear that you are feeling so much better and have some sort of plan that works! There's nothing quite like it, is there? Congratulations on this wonderful news.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with randomly updated comics, for the record. Keeps our minds sharp, which is apparently a good thing.
Can't you draw during your breaks? I write during my breaks anyway. I mean I understand that they don't want you to draw DURING work but they can't really stop you during break time, that is illegal...I think.
@Aaron-
Everytime I draw during breaks I get one or more people standing over me asking me what I'm "doodling" and if I can make them a Steeler's tattoo. The break room just isn't conducive towards creativity. I always get inspired on the floor because people are leaving me alone, there's music and I can let my brain wander when the machine is running well.
BUT aside from the kids next door in the new place, I feel really relaxed at home. I've been plugging at an image of Tlaloc for weeks and just started working on the new page. I want to take things slow to ensure the best quality and to ease back into it. It's like a car accident for drawing happened in my head and I'm just getting back into driving.
