We’ve unfortunately had to make a very big decision here at Deadlong H.Q. With Sam’s schoolwork and freelance work taking precedence, we’re putting the comic on hiatus for a few months.
Yes, we know. It’s a pain. It’s webcomic death. It’s an almost guaranteed way of ensuring no bugger ever wants to read the comic ever again. But, y’know, we care about this comic. We care about the story and the characters, and ultimately we would rather do this story justice than just try to crap out two strips a week of a quality that neither of us would be happy with.
You’ll notice there are no ads on Deadlong. None. Never have been. That’s because we aren’t doing this for the money. We’re doing it because we’re more concerned with the yarn we’re spinning. Hopefully you’ve been enjoying it too. Enough to rejoin us in June, at least.
See you in six months.
This seems familiar for some reason.
Yep. Painfully aware of that. It’s unfortunate, but I’m trying to avoid repeating past mistakes. I’d rather get this story right then string people along like we’ve unfortunately done with Jump Leads. When we return – and we will return – we’ll be doing things right.
I am trying to arrange for something else to fill the gap. Something relevant. I should have something to announce on Monday.
This is why RSS feeds and google-reader type applications are great. You may have forgotten them but when a new strip posts suddenly there it is waiting for you.
