Going on Extended Hiatus

It’s been almost a year since I started posting ‘Space Pops’ cartoons, and during that time, the comic strip has gone through some major changes and developments. (I actually made a first effort in August of 2007, so technically this has been my second try).

What started out as a light-hearted comic strip loosely based on my childhood and life experiences is turning into an epic of sorts, and I need to take a ‘time-out’ to put it all together.

I never thought Mr. Bobo was going to play such a major role, but as the story has unfolded, he is revealed to be the silent fulcrum upon which the whole cartoon rotates.

I have a list of things I want to do while on hiatus: this includes getting the story fully developed and organized, improving the appearance of the characters, and getting a few weeks ahead to create a buffer. I’m not going to set a return date because I honestly don’t know how long this is going to take, and I intend on taking as much time as I need to do this, even if it means working on it all summer and returning again in the fall.

If you follow me on Twitter, you will know when I’m back via my tweets. Otherwise you can subscribe to my RSS or email updates if you want a notification when I’m back. I’m leaving my archives (dated back to August 2009) intact to read while I’m gone. I will also update everyone with sketches and other goodies as the comic strip develops via Twitter and on Facebook, so stay tuned!
