Hey Folks. Still on a break from things but also still busy? What do you even call that kinda thing? A lie? Well anyway, I got something I should bring up with y'all. None of this is set in stone, but I wanna just be upfront about the road I'm lookin' down.

Doing a longer, serialized webcomic in the year of our lord 2023 doesn't feel or hit the same as it did in the heyday of the internet. Not to say one can't do it, but the nature of being online has changed. Nothing you didn't already know!

But as I think about that and where I wanted to take Funny Online Animals after this past arc, the more it felt hollow to try. The more I just didn't wanna. I brought back all the old baggage from Gunshow that I wanted to leave behind and it was made more apparent when the 10 year anniversary of "This is Fine" happened. And when I posted that last page of the arc to the public, I felt dread that I had to come back to FOA eventually and make something more out of what felt, well, Done. So I'm looking into maybe just laying FOA to rest right where it is now.

Nothing is set in stone yet (or ever) but I have asked the powers that be at Comics Kingdom if there's some kind of work around with my contract I signed with them. Not because they own the strip or own what I do, but because they allowed me room to do what I wanted to and the space to be weird (within reason) and try. I'm just giving them a simple professional courtesy and letting them know where I stand.

I've offered something else to CK in FOA's stead that would still get eyes on their site with comics that are more, let's say, Shareable. But I've yet to hear back how they want to handle it all. I'm in a unique position to try and change, but I feel like I test everyone's patience when I do. And while I'd like to ask you to forgive me, which is my usual M.O., I won't. That's just where I'm at right now. Take it or leave it.

Being a Creator is hard, especially if you want to keep a sense of integrity about your work. You clearly do. I hope CK is interested in your other idea and you can find a way to get these ideas and stories out that feels better.

Liam

Thanks for sharing KC. I hope you end up in a place you can feel better about.

On a break but still busy is called 'normal life when you're not a billionaire'

Unlikely Suspect

Sorry to hear that! I liked the characters a lot. It does seem like a place you've been at many times before. Hope you're able to figure it out.

kitspin

i loved FOA a lot, it's said what it needed to say and i fully agree that it feels very completed. I hope CK is chill about you shifting gears. i'm excited to see whatever you make next but more than that i just hope you can make something you're excited about. good luck KC

if you hate the association with your old work that is totally understandable, and a well-defined narrative structure isn't necessary if your heart's not in it. I love How To Stop a Problem and your poems and freeform work and I think others here really dig em too. FOA isn't a deal breaker. anyway I hope you get some time to *actually* take a break! thanks for the update.

Bryce

I'll take it. Honestly following your path is the best way to live your life. We'll be here for whatever comes next

Jeremy Wright

KC, whatever you decide to do, whatever you create in the future, I'm always going to support you.

Mystery Sloth

hell yeah dude. as always, pumped to see whatever you feel compelled to make going forward

Sean Fineran

Support ya in every which way, KC. ❤️

PotentPinion

Honestly if you want to Bill Watterson into the woods and do landscapes that you don't post, I think I'll keep donating tbh.

My patience is untested! Do what you feel you must, always! <3

I've been reading your stuff for a long time and I am always impressed by your originality and creative process. It's fun to tag along on new projects that you share but YOU are ultimately responsible for what gives you the feels or the feel goods or whatever floats yer boat. I'll dig whatever you put out but Dude, you've been going hard for a long time and a break isn't a bad thing. You should still keep drawing or doing something creative but just for shits for a while, not to meet a goal or a deadline. Love yah, though you don't me KTHANXBYE

I, and I suspect many other patrons, aren’t just here for you to crank out content that you don’t even like cranking. I’m really happy to be able to support one of my favorite artists through all of his endeavors, and I’ll continue supporting through the ups and the downs. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us 😊 I hope you can find some comfort knowing that a pack of relatively anonymous strangers are very happy to be supporting you no matter where your path goes

Matt M

KC, I’ve been following your stuff since 2013, and you better believe I’m just as excited for the next 10 years as the last 10. Do the thing that makes you happy, I’ll read every bit of it.

I'll still be here. Can't get what KC Green makes anywhere else and I likes whatever KC Green makes The state of makin' art online is bumming me out though and has been long before this. If longer serialized comics (that aren't also porn I guess?) are gone now, what is taking its place?

kcgreen

relatable, shareable, short gag comics! or maybe one has to move to webtoon to do the longer serialized stuff. it just feels like a losing game for me to try when I also (looks both ways) don't want to!

Vint

Fair enough!
