State of the Snake Address

Hey everyone who might still be dropping by for just the sheer hope of something new popping up.  I thought I’d hop online just to give a bit of an update on my situation, and perhaps sow some seeds of encouragement for those dedicated readers out there who made drawing this comic so much fun.

I recently started my first year in an English Doctoral program, which is awesome, but has me pretty dang busy with responsibilities I did not have when I was just getting my Master’s Degree.  And while I love drawing and publishing my comics online, a part of me is very fearful of restarting the comic for fear that it will rob me of precious time and resources.  My financial situation is tight, my time even more so, and I’m worried of burning out in the program.

But to be frank, I truly, truly miss the lovely refuge this comic often was for me.  Sometimes things in Academia would get way too serious, and Slither was always there when that happened.  Which is why I think I may need this strip now more than ever.

I want to come back.  I want to start updating again.  However, I need to confess that sometimes there might be lags in the updates.  Sometimes things will just be a little too crazy on this end to manage it.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to work through those times.

Anyway, the short version of this all-too-whiney post is that Slither will be coming back.  Sooner than later.  And I hope you will be celebrating alongside me when it happens.
