Hey y'all,

I get pretty intense with my work schedule on The Boy From Venus, but

I've gotten sick, and on top of that have to be in New York soon. In order to minimize my chances of being contagious, I now have to be pretty intense about recovering. I can't mess around with attempting my normal work schedule and potentially prolonging the sickness.

So what I'm going to do is some auxiliary work -- storyboarding, character design, maybe even some 3d modeling -- with the time that I'm out of bed, and hit the ground running with a few 2-update weeks when I get back from New York next week.

Thank you for your patience!

Katelan

All good, rest up king !

SecurityPiston

hey dawg- are you sure the best way to recover is to do more, different work? sometimes when i think that i just end up getting worse from burnout from a *different* thing i got too into- though i dont really know you so maybe you have more self-control than that, either way looking forward to what you have in store, get well soon👍

KodiSpaghetti

Do you think if we put hot sauce in the vat it would heal him faster?

Des

Feel better soon!!

Selk

ofc! taking care of your health is #1, see you soonnnn

BizzieLizzie

take all the time you need to properly recover. as a human who is forced to use limited PTO hours for sickness, the timing is never enough. take advantage of your independence and go eat a lot of soup.

Scaros78

U good twin. You must rest, or else.

Everest

We can wait patiently for our girl failure and moid comic, we promise. Good luck Shen, I hope you have fun in New York 💪

Steven Fletcher

The longer the break, the more chance Val has of finishing her cleaning before Audrey arrives. Take your time!

Rookie Red

Get well soon, king! We'll be here

shencomix

Nah it's just, with the little time I'm out of bed, it's easier to do a smaller side thing that'll make drawing future episodes easier, than to embark on making a full episode. i'm not gonna be doing nearly as much work overall

Abacas, Online.

Please prioritize your health and well-being!

Xav Marz

dawg is in the goop😰😨😨😨

Jamie Sasson

Drink a health potion and relax. No need to break yourself.

Please focus on taking care of yourself as the #1 priority. We'll be here once you're better. Plus think of that sweet Zenkai boost!

BakaNinNin

Stay healthy honey ❤️🙏

Jo Atkins

Smart move, be safe and get well soon! A change is as good as a rest, but not with a virus, so don't let the temptations of switching focus eat up your recovery time 😁 that's definitely not personal experience there, nope

Lemmon

Yo bro, take your time, recover

Cassie Parker

New York? City? Somewhere in state? Wanna hang out with us??
