Hi, friends–
These sorts of messages inevitably seem to start with something like, “After a great deal of soul-searching, I’ve decided to…” So, rather than go with the cliché, I thought it might be better to say: After consulting with my Magic 8-Ball, a discount Ouija board (it leaves off the vowels, cause most of them for ghosts are “Oooooos”), and one of those decision-maker things you make out of a piece of lined paper in grade school, I’ve decided…absolutely nothing.
But for the time being, Zoidland is going on hiatus. Y’see, the fact is, I’m out of time and finding myself scrambling every week to fit everything in. I started this strip over 8 years ago with one express purpose: To make my wife, the Eponymous Neaner, laugh. I’m pretty sure I’ve succeeded in doing that once or twice. And right now, I’ve also got The Social Life of Frank Linh and The Ouro Bros and the Neverending Tour (links to the right) to continue that, as well as Gloaming Gap as a creative outlet. Additionally, I understand that for those of you who appreciate Jane’s point of view on politics, the environment, TV, and general geekery, she occasionally uses The Twitter to tweet or however the kids say that.
To my readers, I thank you for riding along with me for all this time. This may not be the end of the road, but I think it’s a good place for a rest stop. So, go ahead, get out and stretch a little. Maybe check out the vending machines. …Wait, did I just trade one cliché for another? Nuts.
Thanks again, all.
–Jeff
