What does this mean to you?
Added 2022-01-09 15:56:45 +0000 UTCWell, I'll tell you. First of all, yes, it does mean no new strips for a bit. Leading up to Crabgrass appearing in newspapers I've been hard at work preparing for a daily update schedule. However doing so, along with putting together a sales kits for the strip, and working on the first Crabgrass book has burned through a considerable chunk of my established buffer. And so in order to rebuild that buffer (and also to give myself a much needed break) I'll be taking the next couple of months off from updating properly on social media. I'll continue to post things like Teen Years (as I find the time) as well as the occasional Crabgrass preview or process video. But mostly I'll just be gearing up and getting everything ready for the big launch!
I realize many of you may decide to cancel your patronage during this time. I get it. No hard feelings if you do, and I hope you'll consider coming back again. My Patrons are the entire reason I'm able to even do this for a living and I hate to see any of you go. I'll always be grateful for the support you've given and I hope you know how integral you've been to making a real life-long dream come true.
And for those of you who choose to stick around, I want to thank you in advance and I'll try my best to make it worth it. You'll still get the strip a day before anyone once it launches and I'll keep you posted about anything important that happens with the strip in the mean time.
This is it, guys. It's time for Crabgrass to sink or swim. Whatever the outcome it's been an incredible privilege and a sincere pleasure to share my work with you.
P.S. please feel free to reply with any questions you have. I'll answer them in the comments.

2022-01-10 19:40:38 +0000 UTCPretty sure I can spare the two bits for a couple of months... Just remember me in your Rueben acceptance speech.

2022-01-10 17:58:13 +0000 UTCCouldn't be happier for you! Well maybe a little. I'll leave some room to be even happier when you launch. :)

2022-01-09 21:38:12 +0000 UTCWorking on the book: does that mean one is coming and when should we jump on the signage patreon train? (I try to collect original art and signed books when I can, so I'm hoping to add something of yours to my collection)

2022-01-09 19:49:46 +0000 UTCThat is completely fine! I've been a fan for a while but just recently started subscribing to your patreon and don't plan on cancelling or pausing my subscription. Best wishes.

2022-01-09 19:49:08 +0000 UTCYou do you, man. Take your time and get ready for the big show! I can just read on patreon.

2022-01-09 18:53:35 +0000 UTCI’m thinking about. But taking a rest from updating regularly I’d part of the point. I’d have to edit the old strips again to repost them which takes time and energy. I mean to leave the page completely dormant though. Maybe I’ll just post some of my favorites with a little commentary.
Tauhid Bondia
2022-01-09 18:47:22 +0000 UTCCongratulations. Can’t wait for the return and seeing Kevin and Miles in the funny pages. Are you going to rerun old strips on Instagram in the interim?
Matt
2022-01-09 18:45:38 +0000 UTCHere’s to many more years!
Tauhid Bondia
2022-01-09 17:41:33 +0000 UTCYou've been making me laugh and cry since I blundered across A Problem Like Jamal, and I look forward to this next phase of your creative career. Behind you all the way, please don't feel guilty about taking the breaks you need. If you burn yourself out, where will I get my embarrassment-by-proxy fix?

2022-01-09 17:11:23 +0000 UTCThank you! I can't wait for the launch to be official. I felt like I've been holding my breath for almost three years.
Tauhid Bondia
2022-01-09 17:10:02 +0000 UTCI'm sure I'll come up with some kind of content along those lines.
Tauhid Bondia
2022-01-09 17:09:23 +0000 UTCI'm sure it'll go faster than we think!
Tauhid Bondia
2022-01-09 17:09:02 +0000 UTCGood idea! I'll drop a few new ones to be sure!
Tauhid Bondia
2022-01-09 17:08:37 +0000 UTCI'm super excited too! Anxiety is at a1000!

2022-01-09 17:08:22 +0000 UTCFunny, just now while waiting for today’s Patreon post, I went back to the very beginning on Insta. Good luck and thank you!

2022-01-09 16:30:07 +0000 UTCMy birthday is in March so I’ll just count this as my birthday present :p You might consider reposting your faves and/or establishing comics on Instagram during the hiatus because the algorithm can be a pain.
Brian
2022-01-09 16:21:31 +0000 UTCSo excited for you!! Good luck, and happy to wait for the return of Miles and Kevin!!
Kelly
2022-01-09 15:59:32 +0000 UTCThis will give me time to go through ALL the teen years and the backlog of comics you’ve published thus far :) Then I’ll be totally up to date for the launch! Excited for you🥳
