Hey, BOTpeeps! Just wanted to give you a heads up as to why there hasn’t been a new comic this week. Well, for the past couple of months, I’ve been working to sell off part of my vast comic book hoard (I’m frankly running out of space in my apartment, something I’m sure many of you can relate to) and I finally got an offer for it about a week ago! Unfortunately, they want each of the comics sorted according to a checklist they e-mailed me, and delivered to them by December 26th. Well, that’s all well and good, but sorting thousands of comics and getting them packaged up for mailing takes time. A lot of time. I’ve been working on this for 12-15 hours every day since last weekend and am just now getting to the letter “P.” I need to get these shipped out by next Monday to guarantee they’ll get there by Friday so, needless to say, I’m under a little time pressure. No doubt I’ll be spending this entire weekend getting the rest of these comics sorted and ready to ship. which is totally bumming me out since this process has taken me away from getting to this year’s Christmas Bat story, which I’ll try my best to debut before Christmas. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent and sorry for the delay! With any luck, I’ll be able to wrap all this craziness up by Monday afternoon and get back to work on JEFbot posthaste.
I also wanted to remind everyone about the New Grimwald Tees! I was hoping to screenprint these this Sunday, but that will probably be pushed to Monday due to all the above craziness. Regardless, the orders will go out next week so you should be seeing your shirts before the new year! And if you missed the blog post about it, any orders placed this month will also receive a free, signed, 5×7 Hoppy Holiday print featuring Grimwald, jefbot and Mu, sprinkled with a little Christmas magic. Here’s The BOTshop link if you’d like to order.
As always, thanks for your overwhelming patience, understanding and enthusiasm! I’ll keep you updated as things continue to move. Have a great weekend.
– Jeff
You gotta do, what you do! I’m excited for these shirts! Getting my first bot merch tomorrow 😀
WOO! i’m excited, too, f_f! thanks (in advance) for the purchase. 😀
and check you out – since this is an upgraded blog post and not a proper comic, there’s no Shades awarded this time, but i’m still impressed with your fast, ninja-like abilities to grab the top spot!
Done! Woot!
Hope you managed to sort everything out this weekend 🙂
Sorry you’re rushed. You’ll get it done have a good but busy weekend
i appreciate the encouragement, Kris, thanks! definitely gonna be a busy weekend.
Don’t work yourself to death, Jeff! Pace yourself. You’ll get it done, I’m sure
will do, JGThorncross, thanks! just glad i started it when i did, otherwise, i’d probably be in a panic right now.
Remember Charlie Brown worked best under pressure
true that, Kris. sometimes pressure’s good! i know i work best with a deadline.
-grabby hands at another bot-shirt-
if i have any left, i’ll bring ’em to ECCC, dj!
Sorry you are up to your eyeballs in comic sorting, and I hope you manage to finish soon. I can’t wait to see this year’s Christmas Bat!
Christmas Bat (still) on its way, Shanna! sorry for the looooooong delay. 😛
I hope everyone had a good holiday. Now then, where’s the bat?
he’s wingin’ his way to the site next week, Fijiman! sorry for the wait.
I hope that you were able to finish in time and also have a Merry Christmas. I look forward to the comics return!
i just barely got it done under the wire, GB, so it’s all good. hope you had a merry christmas, too. new comic next week!
Happy New Year’s Day everyone!
WOOOO!
when will the next comic arrive
next week, loudwhisper. here’s an explanation.
So, surely it’s been a week by now?
yeah, sadly it has, Bart, but i’m still looking for a job! i’m going to try to get back to JEFbot soon (maybe this weekend i can put some time into it) but for now, i gotta concentrate on where (and when!) the next check is gonna come from.
Is there any way to get on some sort of email list to be notified if this comic starts back up again?
Go ahead and post here when it comes back, I’ll get an email.
