The End...for Now

You are either going to be disappointed or you are going to comprehend me, I can understand both. As I told you there was a big announcement, the big announcement is that for the time being I am done with the comic. It's not due to a writer's block, running out of material, or problems with the site. I just happened to hit a phase in life where the side of me that loves art does not fit. This was a difficult but inevitable decision and I knew it for the past few weeks but I just didn't want to ruin the past few pages. I also asked if you had any questions because this may well be my last rant on this comic.

It's amazing to me that during these months Per Ardua accomplished more than 15,000 pageviews and it's all thanks to you. I appreciate you liking my ocassional anecdotes, commenting, but most of all sticking with the comic. As someone who started drawing comics in notebooks who were never read by other people I never dreamt that I would be lucky enough to have readers from various parts of the world. To those who made fan arts for me know that they are greatly appreciated and stored in my hard drive. The sentences sound choppy because I have so many things to say and so little space.

This of course does not mean you get rid of me since I'll probably still be bugging you by ocassionally commenting on your comic, but yeah for now publishing and making comics is out of the picture, if I do start again it will probably be until 2009…no kidding. Para toda la banda, si necesitan ayuda en traduccion o algo mas me avisan. Thank you for all the comments you ever left on this comic and in Distant Embrace. Take care, hasta luego and remember in the words of Fry:
"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"…Too random?
