Christmas Hiatus
Hello all and merry Christmas from us to you! While we do not have a scheduled update for today, I would like to inform you how this came to pass.
The whole family has been under the weather for the past month. With two little ones hacking up phlegm and god knows what, it’s been hard for Alli to put aside time to work on pages. Add to that the travels that I have been doing for work, which means Alli is taking care of the kids alone and you have a recipe for late, or even, non-existent updates.
So, here’s the bad news – we’re going on hiatus until the new year. We know we’ve been missing updates and some of you might be angry at the slowing down of the story, especially since the current chapter is a lot of talking and not much of action. We’re sorry about the stumbling, but we’re doing our best to get back to full rhythm.
The good news is that we have four pages currently going through the sketching process! Why is this good news you ask? Let me tell you – we’re going to be getting back to 2 updates a week in the new year. By taking off from now until January 7th, Alli will be able to rebuild her buffer and get back to telling the story of My Hero! twice a week. We’re going to be trying a new approach to generating pages. Up until now, we’ve been doing it one page at a time.
Some of you may wonder why we didn’t do this before – the answer is simple, we were sticking to what we knew. Sadly, with the more time-sensitive responsibilities cropping up, we’re finding that our time to work on things are dwindling down – so the answer is to be more efficient with the time we do have, while simultaneously not driving Alli to the mad house with only working on comics when she gets home.
So, that’s the big news update. Hopefully you all understand.
Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
P.S. For those patrons who are still in the 5$ tier, you should have a received a special update with some holiday cheer inside.
We are getting a free webcomic whenever you have time to update, so why should we complain when life throws you lemon and the updates are getting slower? I for one am grateful for everything you can give us here, love this comic.
Merry Christmas to you, and hope everyone gets better very very soon.
Thank you for your understanding. I hope this Christmas is awesome towards you and your loved ones!
On the note of being given lemons:
This made my day. Love Portal. Thank you!
Merry Christmas, and get well soon! 😎
That is our top priority! Thank you for the well wishes and have an awesome new year!
I hope you and your family get better soon and have a wonderful Holiday. I know how the demands of life can throw off a schedule so it is understandable. See you in the new year!
Thank you, stormangel. Glad you’ll wait around for us. We wouldn’t want to lose one of our most active commentators, after all! To the new year! May your best day of this current year be the worse of the new one!
Two kids here too. We go through one of those everyone-is-sick-for-a-whole-goddamn-month experiences at least once a year. Take care, happy Hanukkwanzaamas, and see you in 2019!
And have a semi-tolerable Festivus, too!
I really hope it gets better because a month of feeling like a truck is passing over you repeatedly is not my idea of ‘family time’, you know? 😛
Glad all y’all are better.
Sorry to hear you all have been under the weather, being sick can really derail things. Hopefully the break will allow you all to recharge and feel better, I know as creators we feel like we have to constantly produce update after update, but rest is super important.
Anyway, hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas! Here’s to an awesome 2019! 😀
Aye, take your time! So long as we know you’ll be back around, all’s good!
