An Unexpected Life Update
(reposted from July 13 from my Patreon)
Hi all. I need to fill you guys in with some harrowing details of my life. As you may know, much of central Vermont was hit by disaster flooding. Unfortunately, my house is located directly in Central Vermont. The last few days have been horrifying, wet, dirty, and exhausting. Our entire basement was underwater. Like, our ceiling tiles were knocked off. Our first floor was hit a little bit, and now our house is covered in mold and mildew. And because our electric box was in the basement, there’s no power in our house, and there’s no way to turn it back on without an electrician. It’s such a huge, insane mess. My house was unlivable, and we had to get out.
Luckily for Dean and I (and Vienna), we were able to get out yesterday and drive north to stay with Dean’s family, who are high and dry up here in Northern Vermont. I realize I’m one of the really lucky ones who’s able to flee to a safe place, and of course, I’m worried about everyone still stuck behind.
Also, equally lucky, Dean was able to save all my computer equipment, con merchandise, etc. So I was able to take all that with me. Right now, I don’t have anything set up, but I should in the next few days. I know I’m already late sending out the mail to higher-tier patrons, and I’ll get that to you guys as soon as I’m able. Hopefully, understandably, this also means the comic will be on a bit of a hiatus until I can get everything settled a bit more. I don’t know when I’ll be able to go back home, or even if I’ll be able to go back home.
Anyway, I just wanted you guys to know what was happening. I’m OK now, just tired and overwhelmed. I hope everyone is doing well and not having to deal with this, too. Take care all, and thank you for all of your support. It means so much, and I can’t wait to start getting new art and comics up.
Update as of October 8, 2023
OK! So what’s going on currently: It’s been a few months! I know! I’m not purposely neglecting the comic or anything, I just don’t have a space where I can comfortably work for long periods of time on a computer. So comics are kind of out until I get back home. I’ve been able to get the last few wallpapers up on my Patreon because they’re only out once a month so I was able to break up the process a bit so I’m not sore all over all day.
Anyway, life/house updates. Our house has been being worked on this whole time. Unfortunately for everyone, it’s been a long process because there are hundreds if not thousands of others also affected by this mess. And there are only so many workers/contractors out there. We have made a substantial amount of progress to our house, right now we’ve gotten some funds from different places and we’ve put them into fixing and cleaning everything up. Our power has been back on for a bit, we have clean, running water (though not hot yet), and our basement is gutted out, cleaned up, sanitized, etc. Lots of things here and there have been fixed, like our roof being patched up, and other small things. We have a heating company coming in to do our heater/AC and our new hot water heater, and amazingly, they will be taking our old radiators out as well! So that’ll be really cool having all that new wall space. We’ve got a brand new fridge, and a new washer and dryer ready to be hooked up and used. The main thing right now is getting our new heating system up and running (especially because I live in Vermont), and once that’s done, we should be able to go back shortly after. I can’t give you an exact date right now, because I don’t know when it’ll be, but we’re looking at early-ish November. Which is much better than the original estimate of late December! -_- Anyway, so once we get back home, and we get things back in normal order, I can get back to doing the comic weekly again.
I know this is probably not the news you wanted to hear and believe me, I wish there was a much easier solution to all of this. But please hang in there, we will be back. Thanks for all of your support over the years, it really means a lot!
Oh, beautiful. Really. Just magnificent. I knew something like that line had to be coming.
Though really–and this isn’t to be snarky at all but rather to note a very small point indeed–shouldn’t it be “get MY filthy fucking hands off my tits”? Those are no more Kyle’s hands than they are Kyle’s tits, after all.
I did think about that, but it sounded weird… I mean, Meg wouldn’t call her own hands that, and Kyle’s the one controlling them at the moment, so it sounded better in my head.
I remember taking a summer health education class, and I think one of the in-class assignments was to write about what life would be like if I was the opposite gender. I don’t think I included sexually harassing myself as one of them.
haha ^^
It’s never possible to sexually harass yourself. Unless, of course, you’ve ever actually not consented to something you’ve done to yourself.
The best part with Chris’s situation here is that errors that go unnoticed until the customer touches the program are a very common occurrence.
When you test a program, you always do what you’re meant to do with it. By contrast, customers are stupid and will do stuff you didn’t plan for. I’m sure when Chris did his own tests, he surely didn’t do anything he told himself not to!
