Hey Dear Readers, hobbling back from the abyss to reassure anyone concerned that I am not dead nor have I abandoned the comic!

Respectfully, I had injured my drawing hand in a real shitty way and have been trying to recover from that.

Disrespectfully, I've may have also been -aha- hyper-fixating every remaining brain cell upon baldur's gate 3 until completion.

But now hopefully! I'll be able to get back into the groove of updating once more soon enough! Just gotta... recover from sleep deprivation and Merciless Emotional Damage this game has inflicted upon me -two thumbs up-

Hey Dear Readers, guess what? Updates. Are. Gonna be delayed!

Been marinating in the stress pit these-this year really, staying focused has been a struggle, aaaannnnd finally ran out of buffer pages!

Also. Here's what's been on my mind-

What if. I updated more than one page? Like 2-3 page combo updates? There may be Less 'dear rider,' comments and more weekly delays, but in return hopefully smoother story flow

So upside- not a hiatus
Downside- weekly updates have abandoned ship, it's update roulette now

Yeah - NOT a hiatus!
Ahhh - Do whatever works best for you.

Hey Dear Readers,
After reaching a pinnacle of 390 awesome subscribers for 2 years straight, I am amused to point out we finally got dat +10 more awesome subscribers!

Thus, I wanna show my gratitude to everyone here with another "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUBSCRIBING BWAAAAH QAQ /" drawing, ahaha
But seriously, all my appreciation for y'all sticking through Grit's story like this. That's Crazy!

Bonus:
I'm sticking my toes into Twitter, so if you're interested in checking out Dear Rider Doodles, updates, etc., it's https://twitter.com/Jeeaark

Hey Dear Readers, what do you think about seeing deleted scenes of Dear Rider, like the most recent page below?

Even though they didn't make the cut, I thought it wouldn't hurt to share these silly side moments anyway, yeah?

I'd hate to overwhelm your notification thingy, so If you ARE interested, future deleted scenes will be posted on the Dear Rider Blog - https://dearrider.tumblr.com/

Thanks for listening~ ♥

Yes! very nice and interesting, and after if you have more or other draws you could do a DR draws or extras here on tapas too

Oh yes !

Thank you for the lovely suggestion, Ina, I do have a few Dear Rider extras, but I'd feel weird starting another series for non-comics on a comic hosting site :'D
Sorry about that, guys. I'll keep ruminating about a better way to share though.

Don't feel sorry, I'm pretty sure tumblr is a great window for your art same as devianart ;-)

Hey, Dear Readers, While Grit and his newly acquired Wolf Bait are on their way to who-knows-where, my time management has gone askew due to some good ol' fashioned life obstacles.

In short, I will unfortunately need to put Dear Rider on a "To Be Continued" Hiatus, but I should have all my priorities back in order in two weeks' time. Thank you for being patient and understanding!

Yooo, folks, I apologize for the disappearance, I've had some crazy life dealings I had to priortize over. Giving y'all a heads up there's now finals and a nasty-ass flu kicking my butt at the moment, so updates might not happen for a while. Thank you for being patient and I hope to get back on track soon!

Yo, my dear readers, I got piled up with a lot of time-consuming school projects, so I am going to give Grit a break rather than sacrifice quality for punctuality. In short, scheduled updates will be lacking again though it will hopefully only be for a short time. Thank you for being paitent with all of this!

Understood (╥_╥)

Hey awesome readers, I should give you a heads up on why the lack of updating this friday.

Funny story. I lost my tablet pen. Like ran-away-and-never-coming-back lost. So unfortunately, I can't finish the final touches for the next update. Sorry about that folks and thanks for being patient with me, hopefully I can get this all sorted out soon.

I hate it when I lose pens. But for me, that just results in me not being able to play a DS until one is found.

Platious, what's a floss string? Sorry you lost your pen, Jeeaark.... I'm so paranoid about that happening to me.

Floss string is probably dental floss, which is string.
Platious

Because its easy to work with, harder to break and it smells nice.

Oooh yeah! Definitely gonna tie some string to the dang pen, great advice, you guys are always awesome, thank you!
