This comic is a week late, for which I apologise. I had planned to draw it once I got back from work on Monday 04 February because I didn’t have time to do it over the weekend, as I usually do, thanks to being away visiting family. Unfortunately I was taken into hospital on Monday and spent a lot of the week there. Don’t worry though, I’m fine and hopefully there won’t be any more visits to casualty in the near future. Anyway, since the comic was delayed so long I decided to put it up the following Monday instead of trying to do two episodes almost back-to-back.

Regular visitors to the site will have noticed several days of ‘outage’ this week. These were not my fault, they were the result of idiots using basic wannabee hacker tools to bypass the site’s security, in the vain hope of being able to add redirect code to the index.php file. It seems that instead of pointing to the correct portion of code that runs this website, they wanted you to be redirected to their own website, where they would undoubtedly be selling something both stupid and illegal. Suffice to say they sucked at coding almost as much as they suck at life in general, so all they managed to do was render the site unusable until I got out of hospital and fixed it.

Over the next few days I’ll be undertaking several security increases to prevent these idiots from being able to deprive you of your enjoyment of the comic. Until then, stay vigilant!

I’m sorry everyone, I’m simply snowed under at the moment. I didn’t get the time over the weekend to draw the comic and today I’ve literally had no time to sit down and draw anything more than this quick sketch. I’m hopeful that I’ll have more time once the various personal issues (that have all landed on me at once) are sorted out. Until then, stay tuned and apologies once more!

As comics go, this isn’t the most regular but I’d like to think that I hit most targets; or at least more than I miss. The delay this week has been due to illness, for which I think I can be forgiven. It’s not like I planned to get sick, after all.

I’m still playing around with the drawing style for this series and I hope that it isn’t interfering too much with your enjoyment of the story. The basic shapes are, for the most part, staying the same, after all. It’s the individual refinements of each character that are the current focus of my time and efforts. As you might have already noticed, Frederick has had something of a makeover this week and Nob Mouse’s basic body shape is being honed also. I think I prefer the new looks, although I still think Nob Mouse needs a little more work. I’m not quite happy with him just yet…
