MY SABBATICAL.
Got some bad news for you guys.
Brace yourself.
Due to some personal and professional matters
I'm dealing with (i.e. working two jobs, taking care of my sick
mom and getting ready for my upcoming wedding) my available time
to devote to this comic strip and website has diminished considerably.
As a result, I'm going to have to take an indefinite break from
making regular updates to this site. And yes, this means no more
blogs for a bit, too (okay, you right-wingers can stop cheering
now).
I know this may devastate one or two of you
out there, but since only a handful of you were visiting this
site regularly anyway up to this point, it's not that big a deal.
I try to keep about 10 to 20 strips ahead
of schedule, so that I'll always have something to post every
week. But my schedule has become so hectic it has been really
hard to find time to draw new comic strips. My posting schedule
has caught up with the strips I have finished, and until my schedule
lightens up a bit, I can't make the time to draw up any more
of the slew of scripts I have written.
If more people were paying attention to this strip, I might have
more pressure to make time, but as my counter indicates, my efforts
to promote the site haven't been very successful. (shame on you
if you've been to this site and haven't told anybody else about
it!)
It's not the end of the world for he Unbeatable Heroes, though.
This site isn't going anywhere, and I will be adding to some
of the other areas of the site soon. I want to post all of my
rants to date in the forums section, so that people who want
to read my wild and off-color opinions can get to them without
having to find a specific strip in the archives. I have some
new sketches I want to put in the portfolio section, and I have
some unfinished bios of key characters to add.
And I will be back to add new strips, although I just can't say
when. Once again, I want to have about 20 strips finished and
ready to post before I jump back in. it will be worth the wait,
though: my next few story arcs introduce the rest of the main
cast, and launch into my colossal epic, "The Gerbil Wars."
You don't wan to miss that when it drops.
In addition to that, I am currently talking with two magazines
in Flint and Ann Arbor about featuring my strip in their publications.
As soon as those deals are finalized, I'll announce it here first.
In the meantime, live your lives, make moves,
live long and prosper, play Magic: the Gathering, and dowhatchalike.
If you want the inside scoop on Unbeatable Heroes and want to
be the first to know when new strips become available, email
me at quantus@unbeatableheroes.com and I'll put you on the mailing
list. And give me your opinions on how the strips has been so
far! I'd love to hear your input.
Don't think of this as "goodbye,' think
of this as "I'll see you soon."
Until then, take care of yourselves.
Quan.
Song of the week I'll give you a whole album
this time. Jay-Z's Black Album. This is a guy who took a break
and came back stronger than ever. If he can do it...
