What's going on is that this summer, I suffered a major psychiatric breakdown. I am in recovery. At the best of times, I am an imperfect being who makes mistakes. This is far from the best of times.

What's going on is that I do this strip for next to no profit. I put 8 or more hours into every strip, and I do it as a labor of love. I don't charge you a penny to read them. You get them completely free.

What's going on is that I have done this for years, missing next to no deadlines, and even when I was hanging on to the will to live by the skin of my teeth, I managed to update on schedule.

And what's going on is that I make mistakes. This isn't my first, and I assure you it won't be my last. I ask for your patience, especially in this highly difficult time in my life.

Thank you.
