Holy crap.

The fact this ever made it to the online world is a small miracle unto itself. The last few months have been, quite simply, hell. And sadly, through it, the comic was something that had to play second fiddle to my RL crisis of epic proportions.

I won’t go too far into it, nor am I going to name the parties involved, but to sum it up the two people I thought cared about me the most stabbed me in the back, and had been stabbing for some time. There was a brief period of homelessness, couch surfing, having had to leave my home due to the afford mentioned crisis, and then going through a process to reclaim my home and deal with the problem at hand, and then there was/is the ongoing process of trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and try to puzzle them back together. Long time friends have been lost, homes have been broken, and budgets hammered and much therapy will be needed over this whole debacle into the next year.

This is the sort of thing that destroys most people. Fortunately I am not most people.

I’m just now starting to get my creative drive back, doing what I can to resume some semblance of normality to my life, trying to re-establish routines and see what I can recover of my former existence. I’ve gotten an offer of help for the coloring duties, we’ll see how that pans out, it may or may not work at this point, but I’m hopeful. I’ve also been working on Shiftersonline.com and hopefully something will come in that vein soon.

Anyway, enjoy an update.
