As the Grass Grows - A webcomic by Brad Samuelson about gnomes and nonsense http://www.asthegrassgrows.com As the Grass Grows follows the adventures of a neurotic yard gnome (Gnorm), convinced that he is the only thing standing between his realm (the yard) and annihilation.

I’m not exactly sure when yet, but sooner than I thought. I’ve felt the itch for a while now… work has been done… yep, stay tuned.

If you’re not familiar with it, 24hr comic day is essentially a day when comic creators work on comics for 24 hours straight, with the intended outcome being a 24 page comic. This year, my friend Sean and I decided to participate (along with our friend Ben who will be popping in from time to time). We won’t, however, be producing a 24 page comic – after weighing my options, I figured I could try to make a 24 page comic that may or may not suck, or I could use this time to work on some of the other projects I have going on. I chose the latter. So from 10am Saturday (10/1) to 10am Sunday, we’ll be hanging out at Sean’s appartment slowly descending in a sleep-deprived madness. The best part is, you can watch us live by following this link.

Oh, almost forgot to talk about what we’ll be working on. I’m going to be drawing a 10 page prologue for my upcoming comic (that I mentioned here) and Sean will be working on his own comic that he plans to start soon. Should be a lot of fun.

Darrel Troxel of Raydred Studios created some really sweet fan art. Check out the image below and you can see his process in his Google+ album. Also be sure to check out Darrel’s Art Zen Podcast.
Thanks Darrel!

I have a lot of mixed emotions about this and it was a very difficult decision to come to, but As the Grass Grows is going on hiatus for a while. There were a lot of factors that brought me here. The list of things I’m working on has been growing and is bringing with it a stress level that I need to get under control. I also have a couple projects that I’ve been really wanting to bring to the front burner that I’m just not able to. I feel like I’ve put in a nice long run with Gnorm and it’s time for a break.

So how long will “a while” be? Honestly I’m not sure. All I can say right now is that I will get back to it at some point. This project is the first time that I’ve actually stuck with a comic for this long and these characters have a special place in my heart. I purposely left the last strip with a cliffhanger to make sure I come back and pick it up. In the meantime, you can use your imagination to see what sort of fun Gnorm is about to get into. And for more info about what I’ll be up to during the AtGG hiatus, check out part two of the big news over on my blog. So for now there are two comics left (at the time of this writing, tomorrow and the 25th).

Thanks again to everyone who’s been reading the strip and offering encouragement along the way. You all are awesome and I hope you’ll come back when the strip resumes.

That’s a pretty big milestone for me. I wanted to again thank all of you who are reading this comic. If you’ve read all 250, then I want to give an extra big thank you! It’s the kind words and support from you guys, my friends and family and especially my wife that keep me motivated to put the time in when life gets crazy.

If you haven’t read all 250 strips, there’s a great way to get caught up. You can get the first 140ish in the digital download in the store for just $2.

Thanks again for checking it out.

-Brad
