March 2020 Hubs lost his job. This was incredibly hard for us because it was a career step for him. 8 months past with no job prospects and we both got Covid… you all know how bad it was for him so I’m going to skip that. He got a job in May and I was finally planning to quit my day job this month to focus on comics.

Welp. Turns out Hubs spot isn’t doing that well. We’re expecting him to be laid off tomorrow. I don’t expect sympathy. This is life but I didn’t want to post more openly about it because I’m not trying to pander here. I’m just tired. Life went from great TO hubs losing his job TO a single income for 7 months due to Covid TO him almost dying TO unemployed again TO getting a life change opportunity and then to losing it.

I’m sorry I’m ranting. This is kind of explains my lack of new comics this month. Money always figures it self out eventually but husband is still sick and that’s been my focus. Im not sure what this will do to him. He says he’s strong and I know he is but the world is different.

I usually just follow the artist and laugh at the comics but.. hang in there. I have been followed your IG since.. forever and i just wanted to let you know life sucks, there is no sugarcoating it. However, you 2 have been thru together a lot and I know it is hard but it will happen again. Lady Luck will eventually find you 2. I got nothing but best of wishes for you and your husband. Sincerely - An internet stranger and a fan

Damn that’s rough. Sorry it’s been rough, but know your work is greatly appreciated. The humor has hit just right on days both good and bad.

Fellow NV native and current So Cal resident here. Shit is weird right now, idk why, but everything is just off. You'll both make it through this. Biggest hugs to you and the hubs.

Hang in there. I am hearing stories like this on the daily. This covid crap has caused an awful lot of bad things for people. We have an epidemic of stress leaves at work. It’s so bad they are actually starting to cover a decent amount of psychological care in our benefits. Still not enough, but the fact that a private for profit company is actually spending money on real mental health care or even acknowledging it exists? Maybe the world is ending. It will get better. Try and stay strong! You guys have already proven you are more resilient than most and we believe in you.

I see artists/creators/etc post all the time, apologizing for life getting in the way or burnout or both. It makes me a little sad. Yes, we pay for content but at the same time we are all human. I suppose I just want to say I am sorry you are having a rough time. Your comics always give my day a little laughter. I hope you find something that does the same for you in these difficult times. When you have the headspace and time we'll be here waiting. Until then take care of yourself and the hubs. ❤️

First, thank you so much for all of the hard work that you put into all of this. Your comics brighten my day. Second, as someone who watched their spouse struggle with both the initial Covid infection, and now long hauler health issues, I understand. We also got infected at the same time, and the guilt?, I guess that I was stupidly lucky and asymptomatic when my wife got ass kicked, hurts. Take care of life, and don't apologize. You don't owe us anything. Hope everything turns around quickly for you!!

Mattia Malevolti

I'm so sorry Dot. First think to yourself and Hubs getting fine. My amusement will wait as long as needed, don't even try to apologize for that. <3

Rick

Focus on you and your husband! Don't worry about us, we'll still be here and can find some memes to entertain us until then. ;)

Patrick Brown

Please don't feel the need to apologize for a life roll. Take care of you and yours first. The true fans will stick around and support you through the thick of it.

Barbara Burge

Wow, life is really taking a dump on you right now. I hope that when things get better, you can look back on all this and laugh. For now, I'm sending you a hug.

Chris Nathan

Sending all the love and support your way. Take care of your family and yourself. We aren't going anywhere.

Serena

I hope your hubs feels better soon. I feel for you and totally understand what’s it like to be in that situation. My little family is happy to support even if content is a little irregular. Life happens and we understand ♥️ sending best wishes!

Absynthe

I'm sorry that life is taking another shitty turn for you guys. I became a patron because I want to support your work, and that includes times when you can't work for whatever reason. Take care of yourself and your hubs, and we'll be here, cheering you on.

Emily D

The point of having Patrons is that we support you consistently so you can focus on what is important! Right now, it sounds like ongoing health and career needs come before art, and that's totally okay. You're a whole person, not a content factory ❤

((Hugs)) to you and Hubs

Cecil Huston

Sending positive thoughts and prayers, hang in there, hopefully better days are ahead.

Casey M

I’m thinking if you and Hubs. I’m not a hugger but I’d hug you now. Your health and safety comes before everything else. We’re here for you both.

Andrew Wong

Glad to hear that your hubs is doing well. I feel like you have made great stride over the last year. just look at the following you have now and the new and improve Gary XL plush. Although you are having some setback now but you are definitely not back at square one. Take care and we will be waiting for you when you are ready!

Scott Baalman

Based on what you have shared of the struggles you and Hubs have faced lately, along with your triumphs, I think it’s pretty safe to say y’all are badasses. The two of you will get past this speed bump and cruise into the next chapter.
