The next strip is in progress, but this has turned into a very busy time. Between a new relationship and a new, full time job, things are suffering and not just the strip. I just ask that you bear with me while I get back on schedule, an get a few strips in the can to avoid any further delays.

Before anyone asks, yeah I have a girlfriend, and no, she has a level of Internet privacy that’s practically unheard of for someone that spends as much time online as she does, so even on Facebook, I refer to her only as “M,” in an effort to maintain that privacy. And before anyone assumes anything, the job is the primary reason that the strip has fallen behind. I have an hour round trip commute, and 40+ hours a week of mentally draining work. The schedule I worked so carefully on with my prior job schedules just don’t work with this one, so I have to find a new schedule.

That has got me thinking post Factor of 01, and I am completely open to collaborating with another artist on the next story. If anyone is interested, just email me at carpaltunnelpress (at) gmail.com

There will be no new strip this Monday. However, I’m doing my best in the next 9 days to get a little ahead on the comic, and avoid any further delays.

The day job hours are a little rough, and on top of that, I’m trying to work on the side to earn some extra cash needed to do things like oh, get a driver’s license, and eat.

In the next week, also look for a little shameful plugging and shilling as things progress here in the wonderfully productive world we call Carpal Tunnel Press.

It’s coming later today I swear. In the meantime enjoy anice little video I discovered this morning before my shower.

Yeah, late again, and no good excuse, except this new schedule is screwing with my drawing routine. I am not gonna wait until next week to post the latest strip though. I am going to work on it every spare moment I have. until it’s posted. Hopefully that’ll be by Tuesday, but I’m not making promises, because I do have errands to run. I also am shooting to get ahead a little on the strip.

Yeah, i know I’ve said that last bit before.

Just throwing a little out to the universe, but would anyone be interested if I ran some guest strips after this current story is over? Hell, would anyone be interested in doing guest strips?

UPDATE: The week has been insane. My day job isn’t giving me a day off to finish lettering the strip, much less recover from last weekend’s adventure out of town. On top of that, my phone needed to replaced and the week ended with car trouble. I’m seriously working on getting back into a regular schedule soon.

There’s a pretty good chance that there’ll be no new strip this week. My weekend is pretty busy and I’m never gonna rush a strip to get it posted. It’ll be good, and if it’s late, so be it.
