It was only 8 months ago that I started this crazy thing.  I know there are webcomics out there that have lasted much longer, but there are plenty that go on only for a few comics before the artist either gets bored or realizes he sucks at drawing (and I still haven’t realized that!).  The concensus so far from all of you seems to be that you’re sad about the end of Retail Death, but you understand my reasons, and are ready to read and support my new project.  Those sentiments mean a lot to me.  Seriously.  I’m overjoyed at each word of positive response I’ve gotten.  It really makes it all worth it.

 

I’ve started working on the new comic and I’m excited by the results so far.  The art style will be similar, but I’m going a little different with it.  For the most part, though, it will be the same kind of comic...a cartoon, single or multi-panel, and generally funny.  I do, however, reserve the right to say something serious in them, which I always felt weird doing with RD.  Not you guys’s faults.  All me.

 

It has been fun, and I will miss it.  However...

 

I don’t want to take away from the cry-party here?  But I’m not sure I’m totally done with RD.  I still have ideas, and in fact have had some pretty big ideas lately.  I’m eventually going to be migrating this comic onto another server basically to park it as an archive, and I am pretty sure -- but not promising anything -- that there will still, on ocassion, be a new RD published.  If I were you, I’d stay a member on the fanpage.  Not only will you be given the information about the new site when it opens, but I’ll post any updates to RD on that fan page.  Probably on the new page, too, but hey, it’s best to err on the side of caution, right?

 

Well, thanks again.  I can’t say it enough, so I guess I’ll just let that be the last time.  No wait -- this one.  Thanks!  I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.  And I’ll see you again real soon.

 

Until then.
