So hey. No page this week. Between the holiday and my ongoing health stuff, which I’ve really only been talking about with Twitter and with Patreon and Drip supporters, I didn’t make time. Patrons and Drip supporters finally got new Cutter and Ironwood by way of apology; you just get a vague explanation about that health stuff:
This past week I saw a neurologist re: worsening numbness and pain in my hands, arms, neck, back and head. I had a kind of painful? EMG of most of my body, which showed nothing. Bloodwork he ordered, however, showed I have very high/positive ANA (antinuclear antibodies) and a very high sed rate, which, along with my worsening symptoms, point to an autoimmune disease like lupus or MS. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist who can hopefully make more of a determination but it isn’t until December 4.
It’s been really difficult to sit and work with my tingling, painful back, neck and head and stupid numb fingers, and it depresses me immensely, so I can’t make definite statements about my output in the immediate future. I have to try to do my son’s birthday party as normal, along with Christmas, while trying to figure out what’s wrong with me and if there’s anything to be done to make it less bad. I’ll do my best, but no promises.
Happy Holidays.
Next Town Over and I are now on Kickstarter’s new platform, Drip, where you can become a sustaining supporter of the comic! It’s much like Patreon, but if you’ve been holding out on pledging your support because you dislike their platform, weren’t previously in a good spot financially, or were just waiting for the perfect moment, now’s the time! Becoming a founding partner and get an enamel pin in the mail — your choice! — to commemorate your stellar support!
Folks! It’s time for the summer Twitter giveaway!
I’m giving away one matching set of Next Town Over softcovers! That’s right, my dudes: one lucky winner will get both printed volumes of Next Town Over! All you have to do is follow me on Twitter (@squidbunny) and RT this tweet between now and 7/21/18 for a chance to win!
No purchase necessary. Must be a US resident to win.
Fellow creator Miranda Chamberlain backed my last Kickstarter at the insanely generous “I will draw you a short comic” level and requested I do this intermission for her comic, Riverside Extras. The first page ran today. Check it out — and the rest of her very rad comic. You could do worse for interim reading during this unusually slow NTO spell.
