If you've followed us on social media lately, you probably already know this has been a pretty rough month for our little household. I could go into the nitty-gritty, but that would involve a lot of rehashing of bad news or simply ranting wildly or the internet equivalent of screaming into a pillow. Part of that bad news has been that we simply didn't have the ability to finish the comics we had lined up for this month and that's frustrating beyond belief. So, instead of wallowing in those feelings, let me tell you some good things:
Legba's training has been going amazingly. He's still a 9 m.o. puppy by no stretch of the imagination, but his talent and caring have been miles beyond our expectations, and each day he learns a little more and makes us laugh. Both Nix and Jiji have become thick as thieves (and in Jiji's case: also a little extra thick because of his prescription food, which is adorable). No matter where one is, the other will show up to cuddle soon enough. Jiji may also be under the impression that they're closer boyfriends than Nix might prefer, but love is complicated. Haku keeps to himself, preferring to either be sunning or curled up in shady corners, but we never expected him to be a big conversationalist, anyway.
As for us, despite all of the roughness, K and I have never been closer, which is saying something. If there's one thing that has never phased our love for each other, it's the rollercoaster of living. When we're not busy with projects, we're joking, hugging, and planning -- planning our future, planning our art, planning on photographing that one bobcat that lives in the cemetery and is so damned cute and elusive -- you get the idea.
I know the comics have been a trickle lately, and that's mostly my fault for not uploading onto the sites and letting depression get in the way of doing my favorite thing: drawing our lives and our creepy world. I'm so excited to show you the next pages of everything, which is priority #1 in my Get The Hell Back Into Living plan. In the meantime, I hope you can forgive my slip back into prose for this month's posts and likewise hope that I'm not too simplistic of a writer to be enjoyed.
I might say it here and there, but believe me: Thank You. Thank you so much for your love and support. Whether you're reading this early as a Patron or later as someone who cares, no matter how you show it, you're a huge part of what keeps us going and gives me that huge boost of hope every day. It's impossible to feel alone and hopeless when humanity can be so beautiful as to seek out our weird little corner of the internet in this crazy world we're all experiencing.
We love you and take care. You give me hope.

I've been missing your social media, since I'm terrible at keeping up to date. Always take care of yourself first.
