Hi! My names Alex, and I'm in the mood to do some 'arting', as a friend would put it. I'm a graphic designer, but my true love has always been comics.

[UPDATE]

Hello ya heathens. I wanted to let everyone why there haven't been any new 'Lollipops' or 'SNGC' recently.

[DISCLAIMER] This story is gross so if you don't care, just skip over the asterisk.

*So the week before last, I was painting a home and fell. I tripped on an outside tree root and landed chest first on concrete. All the air was forced outta my lungs and I was in immense pain. The pain was so great, I hadn't noticed that my right hands thumb nail was split open. Thankfully I couldn't feel it at the time, but for the past few weeks I haven't been able to hold a pen to draw. I'm just waiting for the nail to grow back.

If you skipped the above explanation, I haven't stopped drawing. I plan to continue in the coming week.

Thanks for reading and please,
watch out for overgrown tree roots.

I hope you feel better soon. (By the way, I lost a couple finger nails. It will stop hurting so bad even before the nail grows back.)

Hello there,

I just wanted to let you chimps know that I'm not gone or anything... Just up a tree.

I always make a note on what I've missed and so far it's one (Lollipops) and two (ABZeek) updates. Last week my computer decided to be difficult. It's still currently in a timeout. (Don't ask how I got a computer up a tree)

I remember a time when I would lose my mind when all my files would just be gone. Luckily I've learned enough to keep four backups so I'm good. While I'm repairing my computer (AGAIN) updates will be slow going... but not stopped.

This monkeys gonna keep climbing until he can't climb no mo'

Have a great day... ya heathens.

Getting a computer up a tree is actually really easy... as long as it's an Apple.

Good luck with your computer necromancing!

*Munching on banana*

OH! Hey there,

If you're reading this then I salute you. Couple of things I wanted to throw out there (as I swing from a tree):

- There won't be a new 'Lollipops' and 'ABZeek' this week.
(I'll be busy all of this week with other work)

BUT... and it's a big but...

- I'm gonna be doing a multi series Q&A! YEAH... (Your chance to ask this monkey anything you'd like to know)

I've been on Tapastic for two years now so this is long overdue. Ask me anything you want, as well as any characters from any of my series. The answers will be posted on 'Lollipops' next week.

Don't be shy. Go ahead, ask away... You typing yet? Sorry, you must still be reading. Okay... How about now? No? Still reading? Alright...

Well, see ya later... ya heathens.

Hey Alex, which of the three comics takes you to draw the longest?

If one of your characters could, would they turn invisible just to take a nap? 'cause that would mean being capable of taking unstoppable naps. ^^

Hello Heathens!

(BTW That's currently my favorite song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UprcpdwuwCg)

I just wanted to let you wonderful people know that I've been hit with two hurdles. First was my computer suddenly deciding that shutting off after every few hours was a very cool thing to do. At the time it wasn't that big a deal until, you guessed it, my second problem hit. Now my tablet doesn't want to cooperate with my computer.

This sibling rivalry will not stand! I'm trying to troubleshoot the issues (ever since last Friday), so I think I'll be good. I was able to squeeze a new SNGC before it crapped out again.

Sorry, but all of my comics will be on a wee break. (I LOATHE THE WORD HIATUS... THIS IS NOT ONE... it's not... *sob*)

*On a lighter note, the collab comic (Endless Winter) has been updating fairly steadily. If you want to check that out go to: https://tapastic.com/episode/325542

If you're curious as to what I'm going through right now:

I guess my WEDNESDAY: Lollipops, as well as my FRIDAY: ABZeek will have to be postponed due to technical difficulties. (I have yet to be able to post any new content on the site since the system maintenance on Wednesday)

If anyone else is experiencing this problem, please let me know how... to keep from pulling the hair from my head in frustration.

On a lighter note:
