so as everyone’s noticed and commented on – we went a little awol for the past few weeks. there are numerous reasons for this for which i won’t really apologise for, but for what i will apologise is not keeping you folks abreast of what is going on.
rob and i started the squash eons ago shortly after we first met and spare time wasn’t a commodity. back then i saw rob on a regular basis. these days, things are a little different. my career is exploding in new directions keeping me quite busy, i’m possibly having to move in the coming months so i’ve been apartment hunting and rob having been promoted to a managerial position at his store now works longer hours and because of our divergent schedules we barely see each other. people will then shout that i no doubt have the time to write and draw my other webcomic; kukuburi. true, but i handle all the chores on that on myself. butternut has always been a collaborative effort between rob and myself. if that dynamic isn’t there then i feel a little guilty moving forward. at times i will grab the reigns and tackle the squash on my own, but it’s not the same.
hopefully in the coming days rob and i can find the time to sit down and knock heads on a bunch of ideas we have floating around.
with BNS #200 on the horizon we plan to wrap up all the ongoing storylines and then pause to reboot. restart in a way that will allow us to tackle the squash in an effective manner to bring it to you the audience on a timely basis. but at the same time, with everything else going on, things might be a little sporadic for the time being. i wish it wasn’t so. both rob and i love doing the squash and we will do it when we can. that, right now, is the best promise we can give.
cheers.
but it is easier for me to focus on kuku as it is solely my own project whereas butternut is a collaboration. so for things to get rolling on the squash both rob and i have to find the time to get together and knock heads on the squash. easier said than done. rob is my best bud, but i’m lucky if i see the bloke one day a week… and sometimes that day comes and we’re both burned out.
