Hey everyone, sorry about the week and almost a half wait, I haven't even been on the internet all week thanks to a bout with depression. Oh boy!
Anyway the news on my hand, it is like we (including the first doctor of many that looked at it) suspected, it's a cyst. I'll have to get it surgically removed when I can afford it!
In other news, we finally got an exact date on when the Night School book is coming out! November 12 is when it will be in stores.
Also I would like to mention some really nice people we met at a comic convention last weekend! Nick and I were just discussing how cool it would be to meet more Drunk Duck members, and lo and behold we found some! Their site Strumhaus has a list of all the comics they are involved with, I recommend checking them out, it's good stuff! We talked to (or Nick talked to, and I chimed in when when I eventually got over being shy) the guys involved with Evergreen Comics,Chaos Punksand World of Orendaand we got free buttons. And I like buttons! I think it's a cool thing they're doing and I think it's good to support our fellow ducks, so go give them a looksee! We also chatted at length with a cool guy who does a webcomic called ravilob. Overall, chatting with these guys was the highlight of the con for us ^_^ It was real fun, but sadly like at most cons, the artist alley was shoved in a faraway place out of the way of the main events and we would never have found these people if we hadn't seen Wonder Woman walking out of a revolving door (there was a inflato-dome building attached to the expo center) in fact we almost didn't find the con itself, except for we noticed the Batcopter was taking off near a stadium and so we asked Catwoman for directions!
How DARE he treat Azalea that way! She can go where she pleases! It is a party after all. Who is he to say where she can and cannot go at a party? Yet another example of Kavonn's clear anti-farie leanings and ego! And after she saved his very life! The arrogance!
Azalea should take this right to the top! Take it to the king baby! Take it to the king!
Oooooooh Kavonn just WAIT till I get Amelius to agree to another crossover! Just. You. Wait!
I love Azelea. She's beautiful and she has wits. Damn, in fact I love the whole comics. I'm reading it for years already but never registered. Until now.
And I hope you will get your hand fine soon! At least you finally know what the problem is :(
Anyways, thanks for the great art you make! You are the best!
Hey, uh... if you have to have surgery, why not set up a donation page so we can help you out? I don't think any of us would want to see your hand get put out of commission or anything, and I'm sure lots of us would want to contribute!
Yeah, heheh... I wasn't suggesting that you do that to yourself, Amelius. So, um... don't. I don't really know if it would solve the problem or just make it worse. >
Very nice, I love formal gardens.
As for "DoodlestheBear"'s idea for cyst cessation, the "Tome of Charby" would do the trick,but alas would be painful, could cause more damage to your hand, and cysts tend to return.
Ahh a CTV is heartwarming.
-hugs Amy- Poor Amy. Ebil cysts. >.<
I already ordered a copy of nightschool.
Anywho lets see...

Magical Fuzzy Feeling that a CTV Gives: Check
First of all, I'd like to say the first panel is lovely. And it really gives a sense of setting that I'd been missing. I'd kinda been wondering, where the heck are they? Now it makes sense. Tony looks like he's regaining control, seeing as his eyes and hair are back to normal. In panel 3, Azalea's eye looks too big for a profile, in my opinion.
Regarding Night School, were you (or Nick) ever able to figure out why it was unorderable at bookstores? Or was that just because it didn't have a release date yet?
As for your hand, I'm glad you finally got it diagnosed. I've seen 'do-it-yourself' ganglion cyst removal... you whack it with a heavy object. I'm not sure of it's success rate, but it sounds painful...
i like the button/magnet idea. Daray is super cute! We need more on him.. actually more of everything is good. I hope so much that everything goes well medically. As far as depression, meds and talk therapy seem to be the best solution. get better! ^-^
A cyst, huh? Me mum had one of those on her thumb once. She had it removed, though now it's growing back. Fun, huh?
Andof course after she had it removed the first time, she couldn't move bend her thumb for a good week.
How much is it going to cost to have the cyst removed? And on that note, I just want to throw out the idea: DONATION DRIVE! Come on everyone, enough people read this comic that if everyone throws in ten bucks, it would probably cover it.
It sounds like the convention was quite fun! ^_^ Thats neat how you found it by seeing the batcopter XD I didnt know there was one o_o
I hope you're able to get your medical stuff covered with the sales of Night School! I'm definately going to get a copy ^_^
Thats rough Ames... I suffer from depression too... I've been miserable since my ex-girlfriend moved back to florida for school after we broke up (we're still good friends, the only reason we broke up was because we didn't think a long distance relationship would work)...
Ha ha! Magical!
Better a cyst than a tumor! Neither is especially desirable, but if you had to choose?
Thinking of buttons, why don't you have any of those in your shop? All of you designs so far would probably be pretty button friendly. Or magnets! I rather like the design you have on the pillow, but I wouldn't actually buy that pillow (I have no use for it either as a pillow or a decoration) and I wouldn't actually wear it on a shirt. A button, that I'd be good with. I could put it on my backpack or something. And who doesn't love flair? And since it's in the same store, can you look into getting Wendy with a broom on some merch?

Awesome. I demand more pages featuring Kavonn.

Heh, does Kavonn think Daray and Azalea are mom and dad or something? Eesh, a cyst? Hope you'll be OK...

Daray's hair is so pretty *stares at it* So long and purple-y *loves*
