I have started drawing the comics again!

They're obviosuly a lot more scribbly and less-detailed than the previous comics, but I don't have the time to draw it like I used to.

Still, I would like to share my idea of Squishy and his adventures with everyone. So I've started again - with something simple. I hope you like it.

And I'll be updating more often hopefully.

I'm going to be honest with you all.

I started off this comic to have fun, because it was something I enjoyed and loved. But lately I've been too concerned with making comics so other people like them rather than for my own enjoyment. I mean, if people like them then that's just a bonus, it should not become a priority. I've also been far too obsessed at getting more fans, getting more people to vote and having Squishy excel on the Topwebcomics list. It has really been on my mind, I've been so stressed out about my comic that I gradually started to feel annoyed at it and I've even gotten to the point of hating the comic.

I haven't been keeping up with the updates very well at all, so I'm going to stop. I'd say that I'm just taking a break, but I honestly don't see myself coming back to this comic for at least a few months. It's a shame, I had a really good storyline planned out. Maybe in a few years when I'm better at drawing and organising my time. I mean, there's no point forcing myself to do something that I obviously don't feel like doing.

I'm going to focus on drawing - both by hand and graphic design. I'm going to try different styles and practice more - somethign that I didn't get as much chance to do when I was constantly working on the comic. And most importantly, I'm going to keep working on Squishy. He is an awesome character. He is shy, adorable, cheeky, and I could just go on forever. It's been great working with such a fun character. I'm going to pratice drawing him and hopefully over time I'll keep going with the comic.

Until then, thank you for reading the comic, it's been real ^-^

The end... or is it?
Lately I've been doing less and less work on the comic. Even if I sit down to the comic, I won't enjoy it. I love the comic, and I think I have a good storyline with great ideas, if I could get down and draw them. But it all comes down to the same factor: I don't enjoy making them anymore, or at least, not like I used to. I'm just going to give it a bit of a break, see how I go. I definately want to keep going with the comic, it would be a great shame to stop.

There was no comic last week, and I haven't had any time to work on it yet this week because I've been absorbed in my I.R. presentation. It's my Independent Research project presentation, and of course my project of choice was Squishy.

One thing's for certain... I'm going to keep drawing, as much as possible, every chance I get. I'll keep drawing Squishy and my characters, but I can't promise that I'll be making any more comics.

Sorry if I dissapointed anyone, but don't worry, Squishy isn't gone. Not yet, anyway. I haven't actually stopped the comics yet, but I'm under a lot of stress making one comic a week, and since I don't enjoy making them it's just... no fun.

I'm going to give it a few days, and then decide where I'm going to go from there.

I know I'm going to keep drawing Squishy and developing the character, hopefully I'll get back into the spirit of things soon!
