I’m a bit late with that, but oh well. Better late then never, I guess.

I think it’s time to put this on a more permanent hiatus now, something I’ve been wanting to do for longer than you can probably imagine, though I guess this month of dead silence has been a testament to that already. The truth is that Glitchtown was never the comic I wanted to do in the first place, it’s more a school assignment gone very very wrong. Or right, depending on how you view it. This was my experiment, and more or less my first attempt at making comics. And I’ve learned a lot. And befriended several really nice and more awesome people than myself in the process. (I was gonna make links of those words, but there’s just too many friends to link to… you guys know who you are. You’ve meant everything.)

So, yeah, I’ve gotten more out of it than I could ever imagine (not just epic FFFFFUUUUUstration and heart attacks). And I’ve SERIOUSLY had the best goddamn readers EVER. And I know how that sounds, but I really do mean it. You’ve offered nothing but support and nice comments, even though I hardly even deserved it. You guys…! *hugs everyone*

So anyways. Don’t worry. It’s not like I’m done with comics altogether, nor is Glitchtown just gonna disappear. It’ll stay here, perhaps to be revisited in the future. And my email and Twitter will still be active, and so will my sketch blog.

I’ll be back!
 

…And, btw, some inside information, because you’ve deserved it: I’ve invested in a new computer, which should arrive shortly. That means I’ll probably ustream and draw more frequently, and maybe start doing comics again before you know it.

We’ll see. As always.

It’s kinda hectic and disoriented now at the start, and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do, where I should be, and what I need to get and… stuff. So, I can’t honestly say that comics are on my mind at the moment, and because of this, Glitchtown is now on hiatus until further notice. And further notice will probably come sometime late next week.

I’ll let this conclude the little malware-arc. Who said anticlimactic? Shuddup Isaac!

Oh, and for those who pays attention, and still wonders who the one who cut the light was: It was me all along, I broke the fuse box. Darkness is much more moody.

EDIT: Yeah, I’ve totally forgotten to make that post. I’m sorry, school is occupying my thoughts. Needless to say there’ll be no new strip this Friday. More info this weekend. Pinky swear.

A thunderstorm kept me from the computer awhile yesterday, so it was fitting to do a detour from the storyline, and once again tell my side of stuff.

<rant>Now, I draw everything in Corel Painter. I then move over to Photoshop at the end to do speech bubbles and text. Sounds simple enough, right? Sounds like it takes 10 minutes or so. IT TELL YOU NOW, IT TAKES FOREVER. Every little thing I do – such as just selecting the type tool (you know you’re fucked when it actually has to initialize), trying to copy and paste text, or create shape objects for bubbles – takes a fracture of infinity. And it’s so redundant, cause you just want to do it really fast, just get that text in there and update the site but NOOOOOOOO the goddamn text tool wants to INITIALIZE right up your ass.</rant>

Ok, so it doesn’t do that all the time. Actually, I couldn’t even reproduce the “Type Tool Initializing” to get a screen shot, for this strip. I had to photoshop it x) but… still, it’s slow!

TEXT EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME I was kinda tired when I did this, so the art isn’t as good as I’d like it to be. And, of course, it text all over it so I guess it’s hard to tell. Anyways, the story goes on. ]]> Comic

And we’re back. I’ve got a new network card, feels great to have Internet again. Special thanks to kind reader Sebastiaan who helped solve the problem. I sure do hope there’s someone out there like me, who finds this funny and not just really sad btw… ]]> Comic

Due to a series of unfortunate events, which has caused me to lose any and all Internet access on ”my” computer AND somehow lose ”my” new backup hard drive, I had to spend most of this Thursday troubleshooting instead of drawing. And I’m no good troubleshooter. But I guess the network card is broken. Maybe. Which sucks cause it’s integrated into the motherboard. I think. This kinda makes me wish I knew ANYTHING about network connections and that sort of thing. I really don’t.

Anyways, I apologize for the inconvenience. I promise I’ll have a new strip by Monday, REGARDLESS whether I get Internet back or not. As of now, it’s not looking like I will. At least we’ve got other computers with access, but I’ll probably not answer any emails or anything, incase you send any.

Rest assure I have 37 well trained badgers and 5 mooses working on fixing this. I really like badgers. They are awesome. Never cared for mooses though. But they work for minimum wage, so what the heck.

EDIT: Installed a new network card.  So I’ve got netz again!
Speciall thanks to Sebastiaan for pointing out that a new card doesn’t conflict with the old one :)

I’ll color it entierly in the morning, so expect it around 1-2 in the afternoon, Swedish time.  So most of you probably won’t notice it, so making this post might be redundant. But I’m doing it just in case. Also, I might just ustream. Probably not though, cause it’s such a big a file. But it might be worth checking out my ustream channel in the morning just in case.
