[Heccubus]

Next Friday will mark my last update for a while. This message is directed to those of you who do not read the blog-y updates on the comic's site (as I suspect that none of you actually do), as I have also mentioned it there. Since I will not be able to immediately get my computer online once in Brantford, and I don't have a free source of internet access as I do in Hamilton, it will be a while before I can get things going after I move back next Saturday. More than likely, it will be several weeks, as I have no money to buy the components that I need. At any rate, I'll be updating more than usual next week in order to provide you (the reader) with something to sit and ferment inside of your minds while I'm gone. I may pop up on the forum from time to time via my mom's computer, but updating through that PC is an exercise in frustration, as it freezes every time I attempt to click anything. Anyway, just a heads up. Don't all cry at once, I don't think I can handle the emotional burden.

No Internet! Yikes! Be steadfast, old friend!

What will you do without net or ps2? Try tracking down Mike, if you can. I gotta find out where he's living!

[Heccubus]

Last time I talked to Mike I had nothing to say. I consider him to be a lost cause, and tracking him down would feel like a waste of time. I wouldn't be surprised to see him sitting on a street corner with a tin cup in the near future. He certainly didn't seem to concerned with NOT spending his money on narcotics...besisdes, it not like I subsist primarily on video games and the internet. God forbid I should use my time to do concentrate on things like writing or drawing. It will be quite boring without regular access to the net for talking to people and wasting the odd bit of time, but it's not like I'll be going completely mad trying to find something to do.

[Reader]

that's all fine and understandable about Mike, but if you happen to see him for any reason, tell him i'm trying to get into contact with him.

As for drawing and writing, hope that goes well.

[looktothesky]

I wonder how he's doing? Then again, am I better off not knowing??

Anyways, hope you have a good break. Watch movies?

[Heccubus]

Right, so now that I'm about to leave, I've set up an account on 50megs.com so that I have some more space to work with in the event that I ever finish one of my ten billion projects that I always have on the go. You can access the temporarily retarded site at http://heccubus.50megs.com. Once I upload the images onto the new setup, the tripod account will be used for storage, or an auxilary page, and the heccubus.tk domain will be switched over to lead to the 50megs account. Dig? Dig.

[Heccubus]

Anyway, this is it. This marks the last time I'll be online for a while. I hope to borrow my mother's computer occasionally to check in on the forum and so forth, but I can't make any guarantees.

[Ninja Duck]

Flattered as I am that you copy me and take an extended break, I think I should warn you that I'm not a very good role model.

I hope you come back soon. If for no other reason, then so you can fix that whole "image hosted by Tripod" thing on the 50megs site.

[Heccubus]

The 50megs site is nowhere close to being the official home yet. As I said, I've set it up, but have yet to transfer everything over to that account. Use the .tk domain. It's always going to be the way to go.

[Heccubus]

I'm not bringing your character back because he served no purpose in the first comic to begin with. The old comic hasn't moved, so I don't know what the hell you're whining about there. I won't be hand-drawing any of the H2099 comics because that's not how they're made. If I hand-draw anything, it will be a new project.

[Heccubus]

It's all good.


PS: UPDATES START TOMORROW! I'm back online, ladies!

[Reader]

Hard core.

Could this also mean the end of LoC's brief hiatus from saving planet earth?
