I usually post a Christmas themed page this time of year before taking a couple weeks off before resuming the comic after the New Year has begun. Unfortunately, updates may be a bit sporadic for a few weeks or, perhaps, a few months.

On Monday, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Last week, Kathy had a biopsy which turned out to be positive. She is scheduled to be seen by a oncology specialist next Tuesday. At that time we will find out what the next step will be. The biopsy has shown Kathy has DCIS, or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. The one upside to her diagnosis is this sort of cancer has a very high cure rate, and the tumor was found at an early state. For that, I am very thankful. Regardless, cancer treatment can be physically taxing, so I know there will be some difficult times ahead.

Please be patient with me in this trying time. Kathy is a strong-willed lady, and she has an incrediblly positive attitude. I am a very lucky guy to have her in my life.

Thank you for your readership, and I look forward to getting back to a regular update schedule.
