It's my 500th Orneryboy strip, and in keeping with tradition, Jen has written the script this week.
Today is the 10 year anniversary of Orneryboy.
Even though I haven’t posted a new strip in months, I couldn’t let this day slip by without at least letting everyone know that I’m still alive. Whenever I go this long without posting, it’s usually because I’m depressed, or because I’m in the hate phase of my love/hate relationship with the comic. But I’m happy to report that there are only GOOD reasons for my absence this time around.
Firstly, Jen and I are going to have a SON! Crazy times. Seriously, I never wanted kids. So I’m pleasantly surprised to find myself incredibly happy and excited about this, and I can’t wait to meet him. Somewhat appropriately, he’s due to arrive around Hallowe’en.
Secondly, Jen and I are moving! We weren’t planning to, especially with the baby well on his way, but the opportunity to buy a great house out in the country came along, so we took it. We’re both tired of living in suburbia, and we’re really excited to finally be moving somewhere peaceful and quiet.
Anyway, with all this going on, I’ve been insanely busy the past few months. In addition to a larger than usual pile of freelance work, I’ve been doing a lot of fixing up around the house. At first it was because I wanted the house to look nice for when the baby came, but now it’s because we have to SELL the house, and SOON!
Where does this leave Orneryboy? Well, In case my long absence hasn’t made it obvious already, with all the exciting things happening in my life right now, I’m a little distracted. But once the dust settles, I’ll probably return to it. I can’t say exactly when though, because I’m entering a lot of uncharted life territory here.
So the comic isn’t dead, just buried alive. I’ll dig it up again someday.
