Parent’s Curiosity
Imagine a parent’s curiosity when they hear their child’s friend is in a questionable situation. David no longer living with his parents places a red flag on him. He could be an angel, which we know he’s not that perfect, and that would still raise way too many questions.
David has his reasons. He knows some of what he’s getting into, but not the full picture. Parents don’t want their child to know this possibility exists. David’s current situation, he doesn’t wish on his worst enemy, but that doesn’t stop a parent from believing he will convince their child to follow his lead.
Update on Current Situation
On the lack of updates, I ran into yet another setback. Back on November 30, while running a Doordash delivery, I lost balance in mid-stride while rushing into the restaurant and hit the pavement knee first, breaking it. It required surgery, and I’m now out for at least 10 more weeks. I’m trying to find more work so I can earn income, but my priority is the medical bills.
Until then, I’m doing more work on the site, so I can work on more skills such as SEO. If you check some of the early pages, I updated blog posts and other settings to get my SEO fixed. Also, looking to fix banner ads and look into getting Affiliate marketing raise some revenue.
I’m considering additional content to provide as a stop gap. Maybe journal posts from the characters? It would be interesting to write in their voices, while revealing their inner thoughts and histories.

Did these guys get a real job, or arrested, or deported, or die? Could someone who knows please let the rest of us know if this story will ever continue?
Web cartoonists are becoming like 80’s hairdressers – just when it gets to be a comfortable relationship, they disappear.
My apologies, but there were reasons I went on hiatus for as long as I did. I wasn’t comfortable woth bringing it public, but now what I was bracing for happened, I have no problem advising that I just recently lost my job, my primary means of funding Rafa for his work among other things.
I still plan to continue and have 8 pages of buffer set up for the continuation, bit want to make sure I can continue forward financially before I release them. My apologies and thank you for your patience.
Real life comes first. We’re just glad you guys are alive and all that. <3
Hairdressers didn’t just stop doing that after the 80s. The last person to cut my hair besides me relocated her salon something like 5 times with no notice. I only managed to follow her through those moves because I was a friend of her husband. Though, I would guess I’d have had her phone number on my phone if I was just her customer. It wasn’t a matter of her wanting to do that; she always rented space and the landlords seemed to have insane ideas about what they could do, either with the space or rent wise, about every other year.
To quote her, “Wait, so the fact that everybody and their granma wanted to rent from you because you’re charging a fair market value means you can get away with doubling my rent? I don’t think so!”
Apparently, each time she moved, she lost some customers, but not regulars.
But I think the phenomenon probably applies to any service position which only makes a low profit over their operating costs. There’s few web cartoonists who make enough to do it full time. When I read the decision to hold on to the buffer until ensuring there’s a future, I initially thought that was improper use of the buffer – but then I signed up on Patreon and saw how little is going out each month. I remember when that wasn’t enough to cover hosting fees…
Right now, I am working (through Doordash), but only just started this past Thursday, so hopefully, I’ll be able to start funding more pages and get more pages written. My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
I’d like to think that usually people who read through your archive over several weeks and find out the front page hasn’t changed in that time, and then start paying you on Patreon probably aren’t that impatient.
Who am I kidding, I’m probably the only Patreon member you’ve gained during this hiatus who is so chill about the continued hiatus. People in this world are nuts. Of course I am, too, but not that way.
Clearly, you did not get used to your job before posting that, or you would’ve realized that with your new job, you’re causing great convenience for everyone in your delivery area with enough money to use Doordash and sufficiently little time, mobility, or motivation to deal with their own culinary acquisitions. And most of them are probably not appreciative enough. Sigh. Both congratulations and my sympathies on your new job.
In my experience, very few webcomics come back from a hiatus of 6 months or more, and of those that do, most fall over again after another page or two. Goodbye.
I’m sad this died. Perhaps I’ll check back in a few years to see if it ever gets brought back from the grave.
My apologies for going so long on this.
