Welcome fellow 1977 the Comic readers! I have some announcements. Good news/bad news kinda thing.
Briefly, most of you are aware of the financial issues I’ve faced here in these past few years. What I have not told you about is that since 2009, my family and I have faced impending foreclosure on our home. Yes, I’m one of those Americans. We’ve worked hard with our mortgage company and may have a solution in hand to keep us in the house. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it is not yet final and we may still lose the house. Add to that my wife’s medical issues plus trying to get my two adult sons started on their education/careers, and life here for me has been extremely difficult.
No one said it would be easy, so to a certain extent I’ve taken it fairly well. But it became obvious earlier this year that I was suffering from extreme depression. I am now on medication for that and it seems to have helped a great deal. So after several years, a good ending may be in store for my family and I.
“Okay, cut to the chase Wilkins, what does this mean to us 1977 readers?” Well, first, you will not see new comics until at least September 1st. Second is you may not see them at all and the comic may end here. I do not want to see that happen, but I like to put out the absolute truth so everyone can be on the same page. If the worse happens, yeah, I’ll retire the comic, but if the good things that have been progressing here in the past three months continue, then we’ll have a bunch of new 1977 comics to celebrate with.
So with that in mind, I prepared what I believe is one of the best poses I’ve ever done of the gang playing as Plan 9. I am in top form in my drawing these days. I am not comparing myself to some brilliant artists out there who can wipe the floor with me, but for my comic style and characters, I’m rockin’ the Casbah for sure. So I will leave you with this rockin’ image for the moment and pray that everything will work out for the best. If it does not, then it has been my absolute pleasure to have brought some joy and happiness into your lives these past 5 years. I know without drawing this comic I would have gone absolutely insane for sure. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your loyal support and for being the best damn readers a comic artist like me could ask for.
You rock.
**************************
Some Facts for You:
Since August 1st, 2008 over 1.5 million people have visited the comic’s website! The Top 10 Countries were: 1. United States, 2. Canada, 3. United Kingdom, 4. Germany, 5. Australia, 6. Sweden, 7. Netherlands, 8. France, 9. Norway and 10. Belgium.
PS: You Members will get a lot more stuff and the commissions you all are owed, I stand by my word on that.
I can’t remember which other webcomic lead me here, but I’m happy they did. Good luck with all your issues, and I’ll leave you in my RSS feed in the hope for the best!
PS. Belgium, represent!
Trust me, I want to continue the comic, but I feel it better to state the worst and then if does not happen, everyone’s better off. I’m working hard to see that my family is taken care of, and I believe that work will pay off well. We’ll see!
Thank you for being a reader and keep the RSS open… there may be stuff yet!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your family, dude.
Even if this is a goodbye for the comic, that’s really a secondary consideration to taking care of all your other concerns. Of course I’ll have a selfish little sad all about the stories that were never told. The potential you’ve created here is nothing short of amazing and rich.
But, I would vastly prefer that the story of your life progresses along a positive and fruitful path. Do the best you can. Sorry I’m in no position to help out. As you’ve seen in these comments over the years, my hands are currently tied, with steel bindings.
The comics community isn’t going anywhere, and you’re a part of it forever now, no matter what happens. Hope our paths cross at some point. I owe you more than one beer and a few tokes for all the laughs you’ve given me. They’ve been a tonic for my own depression, for lack of any other help.
Somehow, just doesn’t feel like a stranger. So, no goodbye from me. I prefer to go with, See ya around, dude. Be cool.
You bet, man. Most of my readers feel like a second family to me, so absolutely this is not goodbye, but see you on the other side!
I’m glad to have brought some joy to the many folks who have dropped by here. This comic was born from telling my sons stories of my college years and now they have their own stories to tell. Perhaps, I’ll be doing a comic called “2007″ soon…
Thank you for what you have done up to this point. I just found 1977 recently and have very much enjoyed it.
Best of luck.
I hope to be around in some form or another soon enough.
Thank you for your support!
Your comic has always been an absolute pleasure to read, a treat on the eyes (and not just your beautiful renderings of the girls!), and great fun with a musical slant. The unexpected pleasure of your main character sharing my last name was an added bonus, but I digress. Life has been unduly hard on your end, and I wish you all of the best in your future. I wish I could contribute more than encouragement, but every month for the past two years of unemployment (without benefits) has been areal struggle to raise the cost of my mortgage in bills as I have turned my hobby of molding/casting pewter into something of a real business to support my wife and 4 kids (she does work, but daycare centers don’t pay that much.) I would extend an offer to help produce some pewter swag for you to sell if you’re inclined, just get a hold of me through my website since my yahoo account isn’t that reliable.
Your talents should take you far, as long as life treats you a bit better, and I wish you all the best!
You are like myself and millions of other Americans (and all the other folks around the world) who are struggling. I won’t get into a political rant, but trust me I know where you’re coming from.
I’m glad I could bring some laughter into your life. My wife is a potter and perhaps you could make some product for her to sell on her site. Also, we should talk about some 1977 stuff… not sure what at the moment, but I’ll leave that up to you.
I’m so sorry to read about all the stuff on top of the stuff I already knew! I’m glad that you are getting the help you need and I hope that things continue to get better for the family. You’re just one of the nicest people I’ve ever known and it’s time things start going your way!
Do what you need with 1977. Everyone will be here when you get back. And I really hope we can have lunch later this year!
HUGS.
Lunch with my second favorite girl from New Jersey is a welcome relief from the stuff going on… but I do think it’s getting better in many ways. I just like to be cautious.
Thank you for the hug, I needed it.
I know what you mean. That’s a lot of stress. Publicly, you’ve held up remarkably well. I’m glad you got help with depression and I’m sending positive thoughts your way for you and your family.
You have a great relationship with your readers and we’ll be here for whatever you want to do. That’s the great thing about webcomics as a creative outlet.
Thanks, Stephen. Folks you like over on Twitter have helped me so much though these tough times. Yeah, I’ve had a lot to deal with, and I can’t stress enough to other folks out there to reach out to family, friends or even readers of their webcomic as a source of relief, if nothing more than moral support. My depression is well under control and I’m glad I took the steps finally to deal with it. It was not an easy thing to admit and seek help, but once you do, man, what a load off your shoulders and life suddenly becomes that much brighter.
Like I said, you guys rock.
The day I discover this comic is the last day it exists? Well poo. I hope you come back stronger than ever with new stuff soon. Then again, it’s all new to me.
I’ve been where you are and things got better. In fact, they’ve never been better. One day at a time.
Well, there’s a TON of comics in the archives and a few more beyond that… so you’ve got that going for you.
I don’t know if this is the end or not, but I felt it better to state the worst case scenario instead of letting folks down.
I believe you are right, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and this time it is NOT a train. I shall be back.
Whoa Duuuuuude! O.o
Sending positive vibes to you and your family for a speedy and positive outcome to all of this. I really do hope it all works out for the best for you all.
All the very best buddy!
Thanks Andy! I am sure it will, but, as I said, I’m playing it cautiously. It’s been a long road up to now and who knows what will happen.
I’ll be back…
Byron, this comic has always rocked. I wish you nothing but the best, and all my hopes. Do what you need to do, and if you have to put the comic on the shelf for a while, do it. Your family comes first, survival comes first. You can come back to this sometime again, and we’ll be here, and a bunch of new, bright eyes besides. Rock on, dude.
And I’ve always dug doing the comic, so I’m fairly sure I’ll get past this and get back in the saddle again. I just can’t predict the future like I use to as the economy is so unstable. I know I’m not alone and that helps.
See you on the other side!
All I can hope is that I see some new toons in September which means things are progressing well and moving forward. All the best to your family.
You and me both, pal… you and me both.
This must have been a difficult decission to make. I hope things work out for the best, for you and your family.
Best of luck to you, Byron.
This comic is like a child to me… I created it, nurtured it and watched it grow… so to let it go is beyond comprehension. But, reality is a harsh mistress sometimes and you gotta go with the flow.
I’m banking on better times ahead, but, hell, who knows in today’s world.
Likewise, I’m sending lots of good thoughts and wishes to you and yours. It’s been great fun reading your comic, and I hope you’ll be able to get back to it someday soon, but taking care of yourself and your family comes first.
Just please keep in touch with all of us, and we’ll be hear waiting for the return of “1977,” but even more eager to hear good news about you and your family.
Hang in there, man, and all the best.
Thanks, Dave… I’m not going anywhere just yet. If I do, when I land, I’ll certainly be back in some shape or form. As you know, life can be rather hectic sometimes and this is just a phase. I can’t really complain, I know a lot of other folks who are so much worse off than me. I’m thankful for what I have as I’ve been blessed in so many ways.
As Joe Walsh says “I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do. Life’s been good to me so far…”
We’ll be here when you get back. Best of luck with it all (I lost my home to foreclosure three years ago) while you take care of all those Number Ones.
I’m sorry to hear you lost your home. It’s a sick feeling. I hope you and yours are okay. I’ll be around, you can bank on that.
I’m so sorry, Byron. Do what you need to do, man.
Thanks, man. They say in every life a little rain must fall, but for a lot of us, it’s been a damned down-pour for so long, I’d be happy for just a little rain.
I’ll dry off soon enough. When I do, I’ll be back with a very wet towel to smack everyone on the ass with…
I wish you and your family the best of luck as you can take all the time off you need until everything’s settle within your own personal life.
Take care of yourself and good luck. I’ll still be here when you decided to return to 1977 the comic.
And return I shall if I can. Thanks!
Hey Byron,
Your drawing is looking great. You’ll work through your problems; anyone with your creativity and talent will find a way! Hang in there man, we love your stuff and send good karma.
Thanks! And my art is damn good if I say so myself. So, that alone is a motivator for me to return as I just can’t NOT draw.
I’ll be back..
THIS,
There are times in life when we have to prioritize, if 1977 must sit idle while you work through the more important things, then so be it. What you’ll have when you CAN return, is parade of comic making colleagues who will cheer your return loudly and help you regain your readership should you decide to do so.
I never know the right thing to say, but what I do say comes with a heaping dose of sincerity!
You are a class act and I count you in my friend pile even though we’ve never met (which will be corrected someday).
Thank you, you words are the right thing.
Byron,
You’ve had a ton on your plate for a long time brother and you’ve remained a class act. I wish you nothing but the best and I’m confident the second you get a chance to jump back into the comic you will.
Best to your wife and family as well.
Thanks, Ken. Keeping it so close to the chest, as they say, was part of my issues. Having let it out is both good and bad. But it is for the better and whatever comes down the pike, well, so be it. I’ll bounce back.
And good luck with your move and everything… not easy with a young family.
Aww. Byron! So sorry to hear you have even more troubles. I pray you get to keep your home, and I hope you will be able to get back on board the comic.
Have you considered a kickstarter? Indigogo? or other crowdsourcing? Bless you and yours, Byron. See you on twitter and WA in the meantime.
If I were to ever do a Kickstarter, it would be for my creative endeavors. Once I sort out this issue, which it will very soon one way or another, then I’ll be able to evaluate the right direction for myself and my family.
Lots to think about at the moment. You all will hear about it once I’ve resurfaced.
Knowing now what I didn’t know before I read the blog above, I gotta say it is a testament to your strength and inner reserve that you have come this far, Byron. It just goes to show what a true professional is capable of. I’ve followed your strip, the WA podcasts, and your tweets, and to know that behind the scenes these personal struggles were going on… well, I have an even greater respect for you. You are firing with all pistons, and I sincerely hope you can find a way to keep on truckin’! As the song continues, I hope you find your paradise, Byron. You deserve it!
Wow, thank you, Mark, that’s truly touching. I hope to live up to those sentiments. I’m sure I will somehow.
You’ve made my day… truly you have.
Byron, I can’t add much more than what all of the other readers already have, other than to say it all goes double from me!! that being said, you can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed reliving my past rocker/partying days thru your comic. There have been so many times I feel that you are a alternative dimensional split-off of me; so many experiences & things in common that go beyond just being the same age with a similar background, that it’s spooky. Whatever happens will be what needs to happen, just never say die… Rock on Bro! Yours….
Rock on, man, rock on indeed… and I shall.
If we see you return in comic-form in September that will be awesome. If that’s not in the cards, just know that we’re all incredibly grateful for the world you’ve created here and the laughs you’ve given us.
Best wishes, my friend.
Thanks Jeff! This won’t effect our Fucking Awesome Foursome and look forward to doodling this month with you guys!
Byron, sending you the best. Do what’s best for you and your family. Thank you for the world you’ve created! Take Care!
Thanks David!
Byron, Byron, Byron.
You know all of us, and especially those at the Alliance, are here for you. Whether 1977 comes back or not. Hell, even if you crank more awesome pinups or group pics like the PHENOMENAL one here, I’m happy to see whatever comes forth from your fingertips. (or stylus)
Best wishes with everything, sounds like it’s been really rough, but there’s a silver lining coming for you soon, I know it.
Dawn, Dawn, Dawn….
You are one of those great friends of mine who has helped me SOOOO much in these past three years, even though you had no idea of what I was facing. Friends like you kept me from literally driving my car into a wall some days. I do not say it lightly that if it were not for my comic, and those great friends I’ve made while creating it, I would have gone absolutely over the fucking edge. I cannot thank you enough, my dear. It makes my time in the Alliance even more special as you guys hold me up in so many ways.
I will recover from this and be stronger for it, but at the moment I don’t know exactly when I’ll land on my feet (and I will). So, in the meantime, we will have our podcast chats to cheer me up and keep me motivated.
Thank you, Dawn, from the bottom of my heart. ~hug~
And here I was not bothering to check the site because it wasn’t Monday the 6th yet o_0
I remember when your house was a series of this-is-what-we-want-to-do drawings. I remember when your house was a series of this-will-be-that-room-and that-will be-a-different-room photographs. I remember how proud you were when your house was finished and only awaiting landscaping to make it look fully like a home. And now some reeking foul shite-smeared pusbag of a mortgage company wants to take it away from you. This is NOT ON. It really, really isn’t.
Down here we are technically on a never-ending financial growth curve (which to a certain extent just means ‘Gina Rinehart made another five billion and the rest of us are sucking beans on toast’, but still…), but there are plenty of privately-owned roofs-over-heads that are far less secure than they ought to be. Including ours. Here’s to good outcomes for all of us.
Time for that phone call?
And you are the ONLY reason I’m alive today… no shit. If not for your constant encouragement and help improving my spelling and other crap I screw up, I would not be where I am today. Words cannot express what your friendship has meant to me.
Yes, this house come a long way from tiny drawing, lumps of dirt, piles of lumber to where it is today… but it is only a structure. I have moved so much in my life that if I’m forced to move again, whatever.
But, no one, not even a government, can take away my memories and the joy they bring me. And if not for friends like you, I would not have those memories to cherish. So, thank you very, very much.
PS: Yeah, we should talk.
“…but it is only a structure. I have moved so much in my life that if I’m forced to move again, whatever….”
Can’t argue with that. And yes, the friendship endures. And so do the memories. Always here to listen and help however I can, me laddo!
Hey Byron, I am a big fan of not only your comic, but of the webcomic alliance podcast as well. I was deeply moved by the plight of your family. I certainly hope everything turns out. Have you thought of a Indiegogo campaign? They’re similar to Kickstarter, but they do charitable drives as well. Not that you would need charity, but you certainly deserve some help for the hours of enjoyment, entertainment and great insight you have given FOR FREE through your wonderful comic and podcast. I think it would be better than Kickstarter for two reasons a) you get to keep the money no matter what (minus a small percentage fee) and b) they don’t have to be purely creative (meaning you can use the money for other things) I hope it helps. I hate seeing bad things happen to good people!
Rob, thank you very much for the kind words. I’m glad I’ve entertained you with my comic and brought some light to the webcomics arena through the Alliance podcast.
I’m not aware of Indiegogo but will certainly know about it once I finish this reply. Thanks for the heads up. As a self-employed person, I prefer finding solutions that brings value to both the buyer and the seller as well.
Know that my involvement over at the Alliance won’t slow down and I hope to have 1977 back on its feet as soon as I can. I’m an optimist at heart and feel I can get this all worked out.
Probably not saying anything that hasn’t been said before, but here goes. This is a great strip, and speaking as a die hard Reaganite Conservitive, that should be considered high praise, at least it was meant as such. In the past four years we have grown to love these people, and to say goodbye would be a drag. That being said, your family comes first. What good is doing a kick-butt strip if you are doing it in an REI four person tent. If we say goodbye, then it is so, but I suspect it would only be until you are able to devote your time to it. Go, take care of family, save house, Fight, Win! And call us when you get back, you know how we enjoy these little chats.
Hey, Bill… Not to bring politics into this, but I would welcome Reagonomics at this point in time… and I’ll take praise from any side of the aisle.
I’m touched by all of my readers, especially when there’s an outpouring of love for the characters and situations. We’ve have grown together over these past 4 years and I want to see t hat continue. I have a lot more 1977 in me that needs to be told.
So, I’ll go fight a good fight and be back when I can.
I’m sorry for all the stress, and hope it comes through all right in the end.
If this is goodbye, I do want to say it’s been a great run, and that some day we do get to see more from you down the road in some other endeavor.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PS: So what five albums beat out the band’s for worst of the 70s? I never did see if the results were released…
http://www.1977thecomic.com/1977-comics/travelin-band/
Thanks Jim!
The Top 5 Worst albums was planned on the return to the present… which has been kinda put on hold at the moment… but I will say that the KISS solo albums topped everyone’s selections… I can’t disagree.
On Saturday I found out that one of my favorite artists got bullied out of DA, then I read that one of my favorite strips might cometo an end, and to top it all off, Saturday I had to wake up at 4:30 am for a 12 hour shift, in one of the hottest days of the month so far. Sigh, it wasn’t a good start for a weekend.
Then again, it’s only a possibility, right? No need to get all glum already. And this is a pretty cool drawing for a final release (got it in WP size?). Even if you don’t continue work on the comic, I hope you still dedicate some time to just being an artist.
Your weekend started out like my Monday… just general bullshit and irritation, which is life sometimes.
Know that I will never give up drawing. I may not be able to draw this comic on a regular basis, but I will not stop drawing as that would let this situation win, and I refuse to do that.
And yes, it is only a possibility at this point in time. So, let’s keep our fingers (or pencils in my case) crossed.
Byron, my best wishes for you and your family. I really hope the situation changes for good and the financial and health issues can be solved.
I will be here, waiting for good news and the new adventures of the gang.
Thanks! It’s still 50-50, but at least it’s even odds…
Okay, I’m just to lazy to read all the other comments so if I say something others said sorry.
It’s time to do what all other great artists have done, sell out! Put up a donation button and offer art incentives. I suggest an after concert “photo album”. It can start with the pic above then move into a hotel room. a few pics of people drinking then a few candid pics. Perhaps one of the girls caught in the bathroom while somone grabs a beer from the ice filled tub. A pic with a few “flashes” to get the pervs like me to fork over a few extra bucks. Don’t forget the morning after pic with the girls on the bed and the guys on the floor and half off the couch. You know a typical rock party and after shots.
You could offer levels of support, $5 will get you a few pdf pics of the after party, $10 would be a the full album in PDf and $15 or so for a print version. ( I think Lulu is an option.)
This involves some time and effort but I think you might make some money off it. I know I’d buy a book if it had a few pics of the girls flashing the camera… And I’d pay more for a signed copy.
Not sure if that helps but it’s a thought.
PS: Okay, I lied, I just read the others comments. More pic ideas, cops show up at the door, later cops drunk in the background shot, one of the girls has a cop hat on in the morning…. You know, a good party.
Also, is your son still doing the line work? Looks good either way.
All of your ideas are solid and dependent upon my having the time to devote to that effort. And trust me, I want the time. I was getting my game back on this year and then this hits me.
But, it’s best to get this out of the way and figure out one way or another what I can or can’t do. I’m fairly sure I’ll be doing this comic in some form or another. Time will tell.
Thanks for the support and know I’ll go my best to be back sooner than later.
Okay, no time for new art. Would you be able to sell prints of current art? Signed ? Kinkos, on poster board? flat mailer from the post office? Original art or sketches will sell too. Just thrwing out ideas to try to get you a few more dollars. Not sure if it’s helpful.
Wishing you the best.
Though I was a very young boy back in the seventies ( and missed half of the decade ), this strip was very entertaining and gave me some idea of what I missed out on during that time period ( though admittedly this wouldn’t be historically acurate ). I’m planning to post a new web comic ASAP. It’ll deal with a completely different subject matter so unfortunately I can’t carry on your legacy. At any rate, I plan to entertain myself and others with my strip the same as you have with yours. My strip will be named “Reaper’s Legacy”. It’ll be about the grim reaper training his successor. Anyway, I sincerely hope your strip won’t come to an end but if it does, there will be plenty of us younger folks ( and THEM younger folks for that matter ) to post new ones. More importantly, I hope your personal situation improves. I can’t help with that either as I’ve been trying to improve MY personal situation for years.
People all over the world are struggling and it seems we’re on our own. And I don’t mind that, but if no one has any money, it makes being self-employed rather difficult. Can’t sell if there’s no money.
Good luck with your new comic! With the huge archive I have here, I’m sure youngsters for many years to come will enjoy the antics of Bud and the gang.
Man, Byron, I’ve been in your corner rooting for you since I stumbled across your webcomic on MySpace and said to myself, “Whoa! That’s a cool concept. This guy’s a genius!”
I wish you the best of luck and you and your family are in the prayers of mine, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that September brings more 1977!
You’re the best George and I know I can always count on you for your support! And if you even need anything, well, you know how to get ahold of me.
We’ll see what September brings, man…
Hey man it’s me again. I know I havent been commenting or reading a lot but it’s only because I’ve been so busy in med school. I have depression too and it’s been tough but I’m hanging in there. The best advice I can give you is KEEP UP THE HUMAN CONTACT. Stay in touch with other people. DO NOT ISOLATE YOURSELF. Keep that guy TAFKAN around and others like him. You’ll do fine. More power to you man. I’ll leave my email in case you need to talk to someone. I may only be 22 but I’m willing to give all the support you need.
First time I’ve ever been called a fella, but fear not, Byron is a good mate and I do keep in ouch with him
May the force be with you my good fellow! Take care of you and yours and the rest will sort itself out. Even if you do no more, know that you have left a positive mark here.
Very hard to face the facts, and even harder to think of having to let go of your dream. For what it’s worth a lot of people are having the same problem (that NEVER makes me feel better whenever someone says that, but there you go), and no one can ever stop you from being creative.
Your dream will never die; it may go in different directions than you hoped, but as long as you are able and willing to create your work will have a home with the on-line community that you have contributed so much to.
I haven’t been here in a while
Looking good! :3
I think I’m suffering withdrawal.
Well, you always know that if this ‘comic’ thing doesn’t work out you can always come back onto the Podcast.
Really though throughout all the years that I’ve known you, your style has been ever changing and evolving. I see the whites of their eyes 
. But, really thank you for all you have done and enlightened me on and will continue to enlighten me on in the future.
I go on summer vacation and come back to this.
I wish there was some way I could help you out Byron, your comic has always been a great source of entertainment for me and it saddens me to hear that you are going through such rough times. Even if you have to go on the longest hiatus in comic history I will always come to visit this site even for precious memories, but I have faith you will return some day. Here’s hoping the best for you. *hugs*
good luck byron in all of your endeavors.i wish you the best.i hope for more but if not then ill always have the memories and the bookmark
I feel real bad for you Byron. I went through a deep depression a few years ago, and drawing a strip contributed to me pulling out of it. The one good thing about my depression is that I was so consistently unhappy that I was forced to ask myself the question “What is going to make me happy today?” as opposed to “What SHOULD I be doing?” For me what made me the most happy was working on my web strip and watching reruns of “The Office”. For a while I would pull away and try to do something more “responsible”, but I would run into trouble and going back to my strip would help me find my equilibrium again. Don’t discount the importance of your strip in your life. Of course everyone’s situation is different.
Truthfully, I haven’t visited your site to often. But today I came here and saw your pinup with the great posing, composition and color and had the thought that your art is looking very legitimate. I honestly hadn’t always thought that way about your work. And then I read about you possibly discontinuing “1977″. It seems to me that you’ve come a long way and have done something significant here. So again I say be careful about dismissing the importance of your strip in your life.
But on the other hand you’ve taken on the challenge of creating a world from scratch and have succeeded. Perhaps that is proof that you can throw yourself into a different challenges and succeed. I hope I haven’t rambled on too long. Good luck with everything and best wishes to your family.
Thank you for the words of support and honesty. That means more to mean then anything else.
1977 will always be a part of me, whether I visit it once a year or once a day.
Hey Byron:
I’ve been too busy myself to know you were out of commission around here. I’m taking notes on how you go about this as I haven’t had time to draw a strip since July. Definitely keep you and yours in my prayers. Best to you all.
Rob
