Sorry about the very late reply, guys. I've had a lot to do this week and am running a bit on empty right now.
I see your point.
A matter of pride; of being self reliant.
True, all too true. Pride... Satan's sin! I'd rather rule in Tabor County than serve somewheres else. And one's not strictly in control if he's beholden to financiers.
I can't speak for other users, but I enjoy your art and comics.
You mentioned you have several unfinished comics, waiting for editing.
Without a new PC you can't finish them.
This means, without said PC I am being denied to your comics.
Yeah, it's definitely a concern that weighs on me, a responsibility I take seriously.
Firstly, thank you for your kind assessment of my comix series! I'm most flattered that you follow and enjoy it... it's tremendously fulfilling to be able to trade admiration with the creative powerhouses of this Community; and as one of its early founding members, with a portfolio of unassailably classy artistic output, your opinion looms large. You make your case well and, believe me, it grates to be absent from active contributing for so long. It's a double-spur to make necessary adjustments to my budget and to lay any hint if procrastination aside in order to get back on track.
Maybe I can't afford buying you a brand new PC.
But it would be logical if I contributed to buying one, so I can keep enjoying your art.
I promise you, such will not be necessary if I redouble my commitment and stay true to my priorities. It's come to take me about 6 to 8 months to put one of these chapters together anymore... the wait for fresh material's gonna be interminable no matter what happens, and I'd rather not deceive folks into thinking that an increased cash flow would make it any shorter.
All said, thanks very much for your concern, Kal. It's proper encouragement for me not to neglect my obligations and see to it that the Low Roads are traversable again as quickly as I can make it happen.
Sorry to have been absent for so long, and even more so to hear the Low Roads is still on-hold.
Hi Tom! Hey, my friend, you've got nothing to regret... your stunning trio of Foxy ladies linger lovingly and lastingly in our collective memory, superlative representatives in those times when you can't help but be away! Lovely Lu is never far from my thoughts, believe you me!
As for the Low Roads comic, I pray the drought I've inflicted on everyone for the past nearly two years will soon be over. California's got more than enough drought trouble right now... I sure don't need to add to it.
I miss your deft turn of phrase, the rich illustrated world and, of course, those very unique and fleshed out characters.
You are, at once, the Tolkien, Twain and Swift of tickle comic creators, and the forum is dimmed by the absence of Mercy and company.
Thanks a million, Tom! You make me very proud (there we go again, me and my pride!) to be a member of this Community and to have made what contributions I have! The literary comparisons you make are ones I aspire to, and if I fall short of those great names' grandeur and accomplishment, any kinship at all is a cherished compliment!
Mercy pines for your company and hectors me about it unmercifully! This is the place where she belongs and where she longs to be!
I would consider aiding you in the purchase of a new PC as well.
Your largess is most heartwarming and appreciated! But, as I mentioned to Kal, it's a contribution better targeted elsewhere. I'm not far from resuming the series... what I need to do is gather my guts together and make it happen sooner rather than later. Having repairs done is gonna be traumatic whether I can afford it of not... so, I just gotta buckle down.
Hey Low Roads
Sorry to hear you are still having computer trouble, but thanks for keeping us updated
I look forward to when you have your technology back as it sousds as though we then get 2 or 3 episodes all at once
I have special interest in epsiode 28, of course, because of its special guests
Thank you, Detritus! You're absolutely right... soon as I'm properly back online, I'll have three new full chapters for everyone to see! And Chapter 31 won't be all that far away, either!
Of all the folks who deserve my apologies for this delay, I owe you the biggest one! You've been extraordinarily patient, and I appreciate it. The wonderful special guests you mention more than deserve their due... it's criminal to keep them waiting all this time! Just another reason I gotta get on the ball!
