Spiders and Hiatus

Greetings, dear readers!

     Optiluiz here once more after a prolonged absence, ready to explain. The ECB isn't quite dead, though you'll have to deal with some less than stellar artwork for a while, made by yours truly (common, it's not that bad). In any case, I hope you've enjoyed the comic, and let's get down to business.
     For the past few months, Max and I have refrained from posting for a variety of personal reasons. We figured we just needed a break, and since those were some hard times, we went ahead and just stopped working for a while. The blog was never abandoned, though, it was just given a much-needed rest. Alas, such things are not without cost, and I'm sorry to announce that Max won't be returning to draw for us, at least not for a while. He might still show up every once in a while, however.
     Since our last post here, I've travelled a bit, began reading The Dark Tower, resolved some personal issues and even got another short story published. I've also seen a shitload of movies, which is always good. I'm a bit disappointed that I still haven't got around to fixing up my review-blog, but I'll get to that soon enough.
      I guess that what matters now, is that the blog is back, and though I can't promise a weekly posting schedule, I'll try my best. Writing, drawing, scanning and editing on my own is a laborious process, and one I'm not sure is worth doing considering the small amount of people that will end up seeing the work. I'm not ready to give up, however, so here we are.
     On a final note, the published story I mentioned above can be found HERE. It's called In Vivo, and concerns UFOs and the like, I hope you enjoy the read. My first published story is also available now on Bete Noire HERE, and if you'd like to support me you could buy a copy of the magazine, that would be great! I guess this is it for now, so I'll leave you with some random video like I always do. Thanks for reading, hope you have a great week!

     Chainsaw cheers,

     -Optiluiz out...

PS: During this hiatus I became a really big fan of AVGN, especially his movie-related stuff!

PPS: It feels good to be back.
