The Best of Frenemies

Chapter:

Friends don’t always agree, but what fun would it be if they did?

And this is officially comic #300! Wow!! I can’t believe I’ve done so many of these o__o I want to again say thank you to everybody that has been supporting this comic, whether you just found it recently or you’ve been here since the beginning. It’s been quite a long haul, I’ve been working on it for over 5 years now!

And with this amazing milestone, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to go on break for a while. If I’m being honest with myself, my health (both physical and mental) still isn’t in the best place, and I’d really like to rest and take some time to try new things this year. I also need time to start assembling the third book since it can now be made, and that alone will be quite a task. I’m not exactly sure how long the break will last, but it will be a couple of months at least.

I will keep you guys updated on the progress of the new book, plus some new merchandise that I want to finally get going on. The best place to follow updates is via the Gamercat Facebook and Twitter accounts. I will also continue to make high-res wallpapers every month for the Patreon tier for those of you who are interested in them.

If you’d like to follow my non-Gamercat stuff in the mean time, you can catch me over on Twitter at @celesse where I’m most active!

Thank you again to all of you dear readers! See you soon~

Break Update!

by on August 12, 2019 at 12:09 pm

Hey guys, I guess an update is long overdue, huh?

Firstly I want to apologize for how long I’ve been silent. I didn’t intend to be quiet for so long. I might as well just be upfront and say that I burned out hard on the comic and I really needed to get some distance, so it was difficult to come back and make any kind of update posts (especially with nothing to update with). I have done an update or two with my Patreon and I have been keeping up with the monthly wallpapers there, but otherwise things have been mostly quiet.

I’m afraid I’m not ready to return to updates yet. I really don’t want to start grinding at the comic again if I can’t put genuine feeling into it, as it will result in poor comics and only add to the burn out. I realize this is super disappointing and I really am touched that this comic means so much to people. I’m genuinely sad that I can’t update it like I used to, but it just isn’t possible right now.

On the plus side, my health has improved significantly since I lessened my workload. I’m not in nearly as much pain as I used to be, and it’s been very rejuvenating to expand and try new things. I’m also learning how to work within my new limitations. Overall I’m doing much better now than how I started the year off.

I want to say another big thank you to everybody that enjoys this comic. All of the love and support over the years is truly what kept it going for so long. I’m not ready to call it “over” just yet, but I won’t be making more right now. I hope you can understand.

Regarding Volume 3, I wasn’t able to make enough progress on it to do the Kickstarter this year. Shipping rates always increase in January and I keep getting burned by it, not to mention all the production mistakes and delays that happen during the holidays, so I’ve decided to postpone it instead of trying to rush it to print.

Again, I’m sorry for going quiet for so long, there just really wasn’t anything to share. If you have any further questions, feel free to toss them at me here! I’ll pop in now and then to answer when I can.
