Thank you everyone…so sorry to melt down on you all and disappear like that. If anyone sent me email and I haven't answered, please don't worry or be upset…both of my accounts are refusing to work right now (grrr…) I just couldn't get right back into things at the moment because of…well, a lot of factors. I can't promise this will update like usual because I'm still…well, you know. I never wanted to get “too” personal with you to the point of discomfort, since I'm actually a rather shy creature by habit. But of course most of what you know of me you can tell is in the comic, since every one of the characters is a part of me in some form or another and in varied degrees. Some more than others are too much like me. It may have appeared by my reaction to the situation that maybe it was worse than it really was…not to say too much but I still am friends with the other person involved, but it is still unbelievably painful that “friends” is all we are anymore. It's not like I can't be happy because we're still on fairly good terms, but it hurts to know your feelings for eachother have become unfairly lopsided.
There's more to this but I don't feel like getting too much into it…but we never fought, argued, I never demanded his attention or told him what to do or any of the things that usually break it off…I guess my mistake was that I was not like other girlfriends and therefore more like a friend… (as for the other reason mentioned? Apparently he can't keep the story straight so I STILL don't know what really went wrong… and he won't tell me) And in comparison of the situation to the comic, the characters I identify with most at the moment are Tony, LaBelle, and Zerlocke.
I never knew depression had a nice physically painful companion to accompany it…it's never really hit me this hard before.
I'm not back because I feel better, but I feel like I'm neglecting the people who really care about me…but as such this may not update on the same schedule (the art/insomnia/weeping/mental block will be to blame for this if so) but I'll try my darndest. Also I really hate to bring the subject of money up, since it has no real appeal to me and I feel terrible even mentioning it, but since I have nothing to look forward to anymore I may as well try and focus more on making this my career…my father still insists on the paypal donation button and I'm waffling on the issue ( mostly shamed out of it by some comments I've read here too)but there was also mention of ebay and original artwork, which I might venture to try out in a bit. I'm not too optimistic about it and please don't let this all spoil your opinion of me as well…I don't need money to make me feel better, but I'm sure it'd make my parents feel better about me living here without paying rent ^_^
Go for it Amy. Whatever feels right to you. (this message has been brought to you by the Society of Annoyingly Vague Advice)
Poor Hector. Sometimes you just can't win.
Nothing you could say could spoil our love and loyalties to you and the comic.
But I am glad you felt well enough to make a new comic, I was starting to feel a bit lonely. ^^ I would buy your art!!
The original artwork would be awesome! If you do that I look forward to biding for it and probly failing miserably... *grumbles about not having a job* I know I've said it before, but you should really publish.
A little life reflected in art I see...nice segue into new material...
Sorry to hear that the situation is so muddled...I have my opinions on why he hasn't spilled the beans...but they are just that and like a-holes everyone has got one...so I will keep it to myself.
Lovely art as usual, you've done an amazing job of shutting off the negative feelings in order to keep your product astounding as always.
I echo the rest of your fan base here by saying, do what you feel is right. If you need to step back do it, if you think selling a little art will help do that too...
Praise, love, and hugs are great...unfortunately they don't pay even an inkling of bills. Too bad the world works that way, huh?'
Hugs and understanding!

hey! I'm so sorry I didn't write but honestly I didn't know what to say. so I din't wanna say anything really well worng in a since. btu I do love the new pag I feel bad for poor hecktor though. the poor guy ever sisnce that animal bit him his been really out of it. X.x well yah know.
I sent cheer up art for no reason then? Wait, why did I think you'd have time to read it in the first place?
Oh well, great page and welcome back. You were missed (As you can tell)
Aw, you're the coolest! I really liked how you drew Heck's teeth too, very endearing. The fact that you're not letting this slow you down rocks! I heart you like whoa! You're an inspiration to every other webcomic artist out there!
1. We don't care how often you update (or not, as the case may be) because your happiness and physical wellbeing should come before us. After all, if you weren't here, the comic wouldn't be here either!
2. The Paypal button is a good idea. So is the original artwork thing. After all, you aren't FORCING people to click on a Paypal button, they would do so out of choice because we love you and your art.
3. God I'm happy that you're back and updating! (Even if it is gonna be a bit sporadic.)
With mucho du support,
~Lawnie
P.S. I still geek out over that hair. The hair is... heavenly.
Ryoko: Welcome back, Amelius. And please, Do put a paypal button up. Your fans (me included!) would love to be able to compensate you how we can for this amazing comic that we've gotten for free for so long.
Poor Heck...
that's both funny and sad....
Hey there's nothing wrong with making a little money here and there! So don't feel bad about that. Art is your talent youse, you disereve compensation!
Amy, we've all been here for you, me personally have checked up on the page several times to see if you were still alive, cuz i havn't heard back from you at all or anything, so i do have to say, you did have me worried for a bit, but i'm glad to see you're back :) hope things will work out for the best for you in the end
-hex-
I won't lie and say I'm not thrilled to see a new charby update up but if the updates come slower and you need to take a break don't be affraid to do so Amelius and as if you weren't squished to death with all the hugs...*hug* :) btw I like the original artwork idea.
