Stateing that "I'm back" seems redundant, so I won't.
What I will mention is that I've secsessfully moved myself and my family to Fort Wayne. It's been almost a month since we landed and empty boxes and packing tape strips abound all over the new apartment. Even though there is much to do, I still managed to forge out almost a month worth of strips. Haveing my wife home to pick up the ocasional slack helps out tremendously.
I also feel it should be mentioned that on September 8th I will return with new strips. It happens to be the "Bridgette's belly" 5th annaversary. Five years is the longest I've ever worked on a single project without giving up or getting bored. I have a lot planned for this year: More drama with Bridgette and Aziz, More romance with Doug and Bea, Old friends revisited, new friends, more comic books, and hopefully (keep your fingers crossed) an animated cartoon. I can't say much more about the cartoon, I don't want to promiss too much and then have people disapointed when it's finished. Needless to say the first one will be simple and after that we'll see.
I have a lot to learn, but that aplies to a number of things in life.
