Unfortunately, our artist is partially out of commission at the moment due to health concerns with her eyes. The curious can click the “Our Blogs” button above and find out details for yourselves. We are currently waiting to hear from both her eye doctors – they are quite busy, so there is a long wait for appointments. Prayers, positive wishes, magic spells and crossed fingers are welcome and appreciated.

I have scripts written for the next plot arc, just waiting for art. As frustrating as it is for you, the reader, it is doubly so for us, having this story we so desperately want to tell and being unable to move forward. We will move forward. It just might take a little while, depending on whether or not eye surgery happens.

Meanwhile, here’s all the comics I read, via google reader:

Comics (PG-13 and lower) – may contain fighting or blood
Comics (R) – will contain boobies and some porn or extreme violence

and the only comic I read without an RSS (well he has one but it seems not to work for me):
Polkout (Rated R for being extremely freaking offensive to everyone ever. Also, brilliant.)

Friday, 30 October will mark the 90th canon page of Close to the Chest.

It will bring the current plot arc to a close and effectively end what I’ve been thinking of as the “Prologue.” It will also be the last page of CttC posted until the new year. We are taking November and December off to focus on other projects, build a strip buffer and enjoy the holidays.

There will still be some updates for you to enjoy. OHC will continue to update thrice weekly. Holly will still be uStreaming her art most weeknights. As promised, I will be working on some extra materials for the site. I have a script for something I’ve been meaning to make for some time and share with you.

CttC will return 1 January 2010.

Remember to add our RSS to your reader and follow me (@CttCJim), Holly (@sunleyemrys) and the site (@closetothechest) on twitter.

Thank you all for your continued support!

I was pretty harsh on it, but honestly its a pretty okay album. ]]> Can’t believe I forgot to post here. I’ve signed on with Lew at paganradio.net to do some reviewing. See my first review here.
