Alright, managed to squeeze this out before the end of the month just barely. Going to try and get the finished page done by the 10th, may change, but should be in May at least.
If you somehow notice that the page is a little different from what I wrote way back in the script update for this page, yeah, I shifted some stuff around from the original draft, mostly in the angles and adding that panel with Connor scratching the podium to adjust the pacing a little. I've been thinking for a ...

Wow, it took almost a year, but it's here, an FH page finally completed, up here for you guys now and will be public on the 29th of this month. Stupid that it took this long, lots of reasons for it I guess but I'm tired of excuses so I'll just go over some background trivia kind of stuff.
Firstly, the white-tailed deer maitre d' guy here isn't a randomly-generated character. I'm pretty sure that, in the script for this page I posted here ages ago, I said that I specifically was going to...

Alright, so upfront, there's yet again nothing to show for the month. I'm really disappointed in myself for being unable to produce something to show even after saying "this is the last time" over and over. Yeah I had that sickness from January extend maybe a week and a half into February, and yeah I hurt my back shoveling snow last week, but those are small-potatoes poor excuses and I'm sick of them probably as much as you all are.
I'm gonna sit down and work on this goddamn page...

Alright, well, this is annoying. To be blunt, I got sick right when I was actually feeling really motivated to actually work. Completely stuffed nose, headache, lot of solid mucus, and plenty of coughing for the last week or so. No fever, no loss of smell/taste, no dry coughs so I'm fairly sure it wasn't COVID, just a really bad cold or sinus infection, enough to just make me unable to breathe well a...

Last time I should be telling you that there's no update for a month, at least for the next month. As always, sorry for the lack of results, but progress is finally getting made, and updates should resume for real this time starting next month/year in January.

Yep, once again, still floundering in the sea. No updates for November and thus no charge for any of you. Hoping I can make something happen for the last month of 2021 at least. As always, thanks for your patience and (hopeful) understanding.

Alright, so, no update again this month and thus again no charge to you for being a patron. Things haven't been as difficult as during the summer, it's more just sitting myself down to actually focus on anything after having not been able to do so for so long. I want to get a page out before the end of the year, so November and/or December should see it finally released.
One thing I'm "changing" with the Patreon though is, after however many years, I've changed pledges to be "pe...

Once again no updates for the month, sorry about that. Looking to be the final month considering the heat is finally going away, what an awful summer in general between the ridiculous temperatures and ridiculous power/internet outages. Some other stuff happened involving older family health getting worrisome for like a week and some other interruptions, but seems to just be how things are for the last few months, or years frankly. Still, now that it's Autumn officially, it shouldn't be a nigh...

Well, I continue to maintain that being confident in releasing something in time for some announced date curses the thing to not actually come out. This month was fun, as the state I live in got hit by what I thought at the time was relatively normal-level thunderstorms, but it turns out they were actually super murder storms that knocked out power for literally almost a million people for multiple days, including myself. It was the longest power outage I've ever experienced, and it was durin...

Hey, I have an actual small update for you for once, I managed to get a sketch preview of the next page done in time for the end of the month.
Mild amount of reasons for the delays like shitty hot weather and other real life happenings. Another thing that happened during the sketching of this was that a chunk of my tablet pen chipped off the top where the nib goes in all of a sudden, which really confused me because it meant there was n...

Yeah, another month of no updates unfortunately. Same sort of deal lately with health being up and down, busyness with other things being up and down, overall temperature being up and down, etc. It really is the last month where I can afford to have no updates, though, so the comic will be ready by the end of July, if not sooner. As always, thanks for your patience, and sorry for the constant delays.

Just letting you know that there won't be any updates and thus no charges for May for you all. Unfortunate but that's how it ended up. Shouldn't turn into another multi-month hiatus at least. Month got kinda shitty health-wise but I did at least get fully vaccinated for the Bad Thing by the end of it. But yeah, anyway, see you in June for real.

Was hoping I'd be able to get a sketch preview of the next page up before the end of the month, but my brain and hand don't seem to want to work in terms of drawing right now and it's really bugging me and stressing me out which is making the drawings worse and, well, those kinds of artist problems where I should just stop for now to not totally break down mentally. And, while I did finally get a comic page done earlier in the month, I still don't want to do any page script updates yet, would...

Holy crap, it's finally done. Page 431, going up publically tomorrow. It's been a very long and arduous time coming, but it's complete.
I'm not entirely sure how much I have to say about the comic in the typical behind-the-scenes fashion I include with these updates, considering the length of time it took to get this out. I guess I can say that that restaurant was a huge mistake, city street scenes are in general a mistake, and much of ...

Holy crap I managed to get an update out onto this thing before the end of the month.

Yeah, one more month of no updates, sorry. Short month, just a bit more recovery from the surgery at the start of the month and some ear/jaw/neck issues at the end, etc. I'm really going to put my foot down now though and make sure this is the last month that has no updates, for sure. 4-5 months without at least one comic page is too long and I really don't want this to turn into another 2 year hiatus. So I really hope I can get stuff started again next month. Here's hoping, and as always, th...

No updates or charges again this month. As I mentioned last month, I got diagnosed with an inguinal hernia, and this month was when the surgery was gonna happen. And it did! I got FOUR incisions put in me (instead of the three that I figured it would be) and had my intestine shoved back into place. Have a plastic mesh permanently inside me as well to keep my guts in. The first half-week was really rough, but I've more or less recovered in the two weeks since. Still, didn't want to really sit ...

Merry Christmas, no charge for the month I guess? Couldn't get anything done again, and frankly I didn't want to make you guys pay for a bunch of scripts again with no actual page update, so just taking this option for the last month. Really sad I couldn't at least get one more thing out for 2020, but I guess maybe that's indicative of the year in general.
To update you on my health condition, since I said at the end of the last update last month, I went to the doctor's at the beginning...

Yep, as I kind of figured, couldn't do any work since the other updates, so no fourth charge this month again for you guys. Have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and we'll see what goes from there. I'll be honest in that I'm fairly sure I have a hernia going on, and if that's correct, I'll need to have surgery for it, which shouldn't be a problem but would get in the way of things for a couple weeks I imagine. But it's not like it's not getting in the way of things right now, so, should get i...

And the last script update for the month of November, the final page of the Kale/Fox Kale/Lucy story arc, page 482.
This page contains dialogue I wrote at the start of writing this story arc, at the same time as when I wrote the big talk at the beginning between Kale and Fox Kale, where Kale wanted to tell Bruce about all this mind stuff that's been happening. It's a follow-up to that conversation, Fox Kale having chewed Kale out for...
