Hey all!
As you’ve doubtless noticed, for the past couple months, updates have been pretty scarce. This is quite uncharacteristic of us, as usually we’re pretty obsessive about keeping you up to date with when you can expect the next comic, and our largest hiatus so far was two weeks.
However, a whole lot of adult worries have been thrown at us recently. From Victor and I both having new jobs, to some art commissions that people close to me have requested, to looking for and finding a new place to live, dealing with moving our things as well as all of the other hassles involved with changing homes… it hasn’t been easy for me to find time to draw the comic, or for Victor to find his humor. Even if I didn’t spend any time undwinding, I might be able to get out one comic a week right now, maybe.
I do feel super guilty and bad that all of this is taking place, ESPECIALLY so soon after our fourth anniversary. I can promise that we’ll be back in action in August, since we’ll have to be all moved in by then one way or the other. Thanks for sticking with us.

Take all the time you guys need. We’re rooting for you and know you’ll get over this little slumpy-bump and back on with your regular lives very soon.
You’re both amazing. ♥
Totally echoing Lin’s sentiment here! Hey, you got us rooting for y’all in relation to the comic AND outside of it. So you can bet we’ll be here when y’all get back!
Thanks so much for your understanding!
Thank you, friend!!
Been going through a bit of real life stress myself, so I know how you guys feel as well. Take whatever time you guys need :>
Thanks! I hope things look up for you as well. And thanks again for your great fan art which gave us something to post in a dry spot.
I just want to thank you for this free service that you provide. Your updates bring me a few minutes of joyeach time i read them. The least we can do is show paitince and send prayers that everything that everything going on your life will turn out ok
Aw, thanks for your kindness!
Don’t worry, everything is going to work out on our end, it’s just a pain to deal with.
No problem!
I hope I speak for everyone when I say we totally understand.
Our regulars certainly seem to understand. You guys are awesome!
Aaw, don’t worry about it–while I can understand feeling bad about it, it seems only reasonable that these things take precedence, and I think that I would feel rather unreasonable to expect otherwise. Please don’t push yourselves too hard to get pages out–I’d much rather have slow or irregular updates than have you two burn yourselves out! Take however much time is called for, and I look forward to the next page!
*hugs* ^_^
Thanks, buddy!
You are seriously so kind. Dealing with life AND writing/drawing a webcomic at the same time is a serious commitment and a huge responsibility, and I applaud you for starting this and getting so far with such regular updates. We can all sympathize with life getting in the way, so don’t worry about it!! Your readers will still be here
YOU guys are so kind too!
Don’t beat yourself up too much, it isn’t good for your health… Really though, you do fantastic work and I hope that you don’t wear yourself out worrying about us, we’ll be fine. You just worry about getting on track and I am sure things will turn up for the better.
Thanks for caring, as always, friend! Hopefully we’ll be able to talk soon, but Skype has been one of the major issues in making my computer crap out like it’s been doing lately…
I’m NOT un-bookmarking this awesome comic just because of a little hiatus (I’m a Homestucker. I know how to wait).
You go take care of you, alright? We’ll be here when you get back. lD
Thanks, friend! The good news is we’re almost back!
Homestuck seems to be the preeminent web content in teaching people patience. I’m grateful to it for that.
Just sending my best wishes. Also if you guys ever find yourselfs in hawaii let me know i will buy you guys dinner or something
Thanks! Man, I hope we find ourselves in Hawaii some day!
