Hi all,

Wanted to make a little announcement post - the comic will return April 15th. I'm very happy to be working on it again.

I also wanted to add something. If you're reading this, your support through this time has been invaluable to me. As I mentioned here before, I went through a huge personal crisis at the start of this year, with my wife hospitalized for close to four weeks after the birth of my son. Things have only just now started to stabilize as my wife heals and my son gets older. 

With Patreon I didn't have to worry about running out of (likely meager) paternity leave, or losing my job due to being unable to work and caring for my wife and a newborn. I'm incredibly lucky to be self-employed and to have enough support on Patreon to be able to take a gap in work this large without having to worry about my livelihood. This is possible because first and foremost I think the relationship I have with my community is one of support and trust, where you treat me primarily as a human being and not a company or a brand. Thank you for placing your trust and support in me in this really difficult time, it means the world to me. I will always endeavor to return that trust with honesty and hard work.

Cheers,

Tom Bloom (Abbadon)

Super glad to hear that your wife is healing and your son is thriving. You're an incredible author to follow and I'm incredibly excited to have the comic coming back, but more than that excitement, I'm genuinely happy to see that the community has repaid your transparency and history of hard work with the kind of support that lets you hit these road blocks and turn your attention to being a good husband and father without having to struggle to keep a roof over your head. You deserve it and I'm very proud to be a patron and support your endeavors!

I'm so glad and relieved to hear your wife is getting better! You are a very generous person, the years of working in the comic, the discord/Patreon community and these words to us now attest to this. Thank you! With all my heart thank you for being a person and not a brand. Please accept my words of thanks and know that you have my support as a fan, as part of this community and also as a fellow human being. Wish you and your family all the best🌈
