Hello, update to let you know I have not completely disappeared.
So things have not been going very well if you can tell from my lack of updates, the court proceedings for the break in and attack are not going smoothly at all, the buy that broke into our house and attacked us is pleading not guilty, and there is a chance the case will not go to court because he was high on drugs, which is apparently a legal defense here. It's just been a lot of stress and I've really been fighting with PTSD from everything.
When I got a subpoena for the court appearance I just stopped functioning and couldn't do anything from the flashbacks and what if's from the attack, and now the court date has been pushed back yet again, which means I'll be getting a new subpoena and have this happen all over again.
I just want this to be over with, and I want to get back to my life. I know I would always joke that 'I have no life, I draw comics all day' but I really want that back... because right now I just seem to have nothing.
Again, sorry for the lack of comic updates. For those curious I have been working on writing or game scripts so I'm not feeling completely useless, but I unfortunately can't really share future script, while sharing game code is just... boring =P
Anyway, I really don't know anymore when I'll be able to get back to drawing comics, but I intend to get back to it. I just don't know when, I'm very sorry.

Merry Christmas Kura. Hope things have been going ok for you.
Hi Kura,
How have you been? I hope Halloween went better for you this year. Hope things are going well for you and that you have a happy Thanksgiving with your family.

Hope that you're doing well and from what I read you got a new doggy awhile back so I hope that he's doing well also.
Hi Kura,
You haven't posted in a while so I want to know if you are doing ok. How have you been doing? How's your new dog? I hope things have been going better for you and that you will be in sound mind to continue updates.

Sorry again for the lack of updates, life has not being giving me free time to work on comics so much. This time at least it's not too much health issues and more there is a new puppy in the house (Yerin) that is requiring all the attention and making much ruckus.
It is nice to be bothered by good thing for once at least, but it is taking a while for me to be able to balance work right now.

Sorry for the hiatus again (this one will be shorter than my last) had a bad dental injury, and was not able to get into visit dentist until 2 days ago. Had to do some minor surgery and got the problem fixed, but healing process is very painful for now so I have not been able to focus on drawings. Hopefully the pain will stop soon.
Aaaaaaaaa, I'm glad to know that you feel better, at least in your current situation, I would like to support you in some way but the internet restrictions that my country has are quite annoying, I hope you can improve soon, on the other hand go at your own pace , do not overexert yourself and remember that those of us who follow you will wait for you whatever you have to wait for, also remember not to be discouraged by any "newspaper reader" who wanted to go out and criticize your work because you have already demonstrated and with confidence that your work is up to date. artura of the greats of the genre :)
Looks like I have a merch shop on tapas now. It's nothing big right now, just a few of the cheapest shirts so that I could test the waters. Though I would love to know what readers would be interested in buying
I also have a door again, insurance finally replaced it.
3rd update on health. Still on waiting list for therapist and still cannot leave the house due to me being high risk. (I really want to see the Sonic 2 movie really badly)
We have been working with our dog to help her out almost everything putting her into defense mode. She has thankfully been doing better, but there are still a few things that will trigger her to going into defensive mode and then cry from stress.
Been trying to get back to working on comics but it's been hard, trying to draw or even work on or clean up scripts has just been really hard to do, my body will start shaking and I'll just start hearing the intruder screaming in my head. I don't even know why? I wasn't attacked when I was drawing, I was attacked when I was playing videogames at the TV.
I'll be trying a little bit to draw each day though, so hopefully you will start to see updates again, unfortunately the update pace will be slow as I'm not able to work for very long right now. Hopefully that will eventually change and I can work properly again.

A small update for those waiting for me to return from hiatus and on an update on my wellbeing.
Insurance still has not replace the door to my house the invader smashed through replaced, me and my family have struggling through this -15 to -40 weather without a proper door.
The doctors have me on waiting list for a therapist and haven't been able to get one yet.
I think one of our dogs has PTSD from the break in / attack, she has been acting completely different than usual and constantly going into defense mode for even the smallest of things, not just deliveries to the door (before she never barked at door for people who deliver) but flashing light from outside, or noises inside house is upsetting for her and make her bark and then cry from stress.
I still cannot leave house because of Covid and me being high risk because of Lupus. It's getting even harder now as other people seem to leave their homes freely without a care.
I very much miss interacting and reading comments from readers on my pages x.x it was big highlights of my day.
I do want to get back to working on comics or even... anything creative, but I feel like I have just been broken. I was already having a hard time because of many things piling onto one another like my health, covid, being considered disposable because of my disabilities, feeling like I don't and can never contribute anything meaningful to society, and struggling with site algorithms that seem constantly against me. My house getting broken into by a stranger and me and my family getting attacked was just... the last straw at this point. I am creatively drained, my strength and perseverance is broken and gone, and I am tired and feeling more worthless and useless than ever before.
That's not to say I will not get back to drawing my comics, I intend to return to it, I just... do no know how long it will take to get back to it, especially when my resources for help I am on waiting lists.
