WHAT'S NEW:

• 6-4-10- All good things must come to an end. The final two pages of episode 34 have been posted. These will likely be the last pages of Dino-Boy I produce. Well, I shouldn't say that. Perhaps I'll come back sometime in the future. Let's call this a hiatus of undetermined length. I've been producing this comic for three years now. Why am I quitting? A number of reasons. First of all, it's just consuming too much of my time. Secondly, it's no longer up to my own standards. What I mean by that is, I can draw much, much better than I do for this series. I gave myself unreasonable deadlines considering how busy I am, and I often rush through an entire page in an hour or two (drawing, scanning, coloring, posting) just to get it done and out of the way. I've been drawing these characters for so long, that I feel like I'm stuck in an outdated style-- but with the updating schedule I gave myself, I just don't have the time to put any serious detail into these comics. I'm going to take some time to really work on my art and put effort into some things. Finally, as many of you know, what makes this comic unique is that there's always a moral of sorts presented to you in nearly every episode. One of the few complaints I get about this series is that my messages aren't subtle, but when I first started I often got emails from people asking me to further explain my messages, so as time went on, I started getting a bit more blatant. Sorry about that, but what's the point in writing something with the goal of getting a message across if the message ends up getting lost on the people you really want it getting across to? Regardless, I've been at this for a long time. The world has given me plenty to write about-- too much, actually. Many of the issues I comment on are still major issues and will continue to be. Now, I certainly don't expect a webcomic to change the world-- that would be silly. But I look around and see so many people apathetic to things that I feel we should all be deeply concerned about. It makes me feel like I'm wasting my time and it doesn't help to motivate me. I think if I take some time away from the comic, I may one day be able to get back into it and start writing again. Maybe I'll use some of the extra time to actually get more involved in the issues I've talked about. I do hope to return one day, once I've had some time away to take care of other business in my life. But for now-- you, loyal reader... I'm leaving you with these final two pages. I'd like to thank you deeply for reading what I've worked so hard on for so long. I'm closing with the same shot I opened with in episode one-- Evan and Watson walking together on campus. You'll see one of my favorite quotes... hovering over an image of our heroes... who are all looking at you, expectantly.  Your turn.
  

                   Thank you all... so very much.
