News about Yuko, change in update schedule

Hey everyone, here is the deal:

Yuko's been struggling with pain in her right hand for a few years now. Recently the pain has gotten worse. She went to a new doctor and got several referrals, and those appointments are in the next few weeks. We talked and it's very important that she give her right hand a rest until we can get to the bottom of this. IN THE MEANTIME, AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE WE WILL BE REDUCING TO ONE UPDATE A WEEK: EVERY TUESDAY. Giving Yuko's drawing hand a rest now is integral to her long-term ability to work. We'll probably post pages without tones. 

Yuko is a monster though, she drew and colored this with her left hand (click through for the tumblr post):

She's been practicing with her left for a few years now, as you've seen in some of the autobio comics and on her tumblr. We're keeping our fingers crossed for goods news, but this has been a pretty stressful period for the both of us. Thank you for your understanding. 

A note about next week's comics

Hey guys! Yuko's previous wrist injury has flared up again, so the next couple of pages may be incomplete. Just a heads up! They'll come with dialogue but probably no tones. Thanks for understanding!

GUNHILDA!

In case you forgot, they talked about Gunhilda earlier.

That's all for us! Catch you next week!

HI YUKO SORRY

HI YUKO SORRY I DIDN'T PUT UP A NEWS POST :/

I've been getting the covers and interior of CUTTINGS together! It's moving along quickly now,  I think we'll be sending it to the printer soon. And I'm writing some new stuff that you'll probably get to read a few months into 2015! How exciting!

That's all for us! Catch you next week!

WHAT

WHAT

Now seems like a good time to mention that sometimes, in long-form comics, it's important to realize that one page is part of a sequence and waiting to draw conclusions is sometimes a good idea! Yup! Well, bye!

Catch you Thursday!

Revelations!

Revelations!

Thanks for reading along with us, guys! Catch you next week!

Book work continues!

Penny noooooo!

Nothing big to report! Work on CUTTINGS continues, we should be closing in on the end of it soon. 

That's all for us, catch you Thursday!

New CUTTINGS backer update!

How mysterious!

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know, there's a new update for backers of the CUTTINGS kickstarter - you'll have to be logged in to see it. It should also arrive in your e-mail! I'll be dropping in the thankyous soon and from there it should end up at the printer relatively quickly. 

That's all for us! Catch you next time!

Happy fourth!

I love how Yuko did this page!! 

Happy Fourth of July to our American readers! I hope you get to do something nice and relaxing this Friday. 

That's all for us! Catch you next week!
