Huge apologies - delay & update

Added 2025-07-31 17:30:36 +0000 UTC

Hi again, everyone. Here's an update on what's happened:

My mum passed away at about 11AM yesterday morning after holding out far longer than the original prognosis suggested. While I have let out all of my emotion, frustration and tears already, in the end I have taken even greater strength and respect from her fight and determining the end on her own time frame. I'll be finishing the comic in the next few days as I regain the strength and the ending, for those who saw the raw renders, will be changed slightly as an ode to the determination I witnessed and felt these last few days.

Thank you all so so much for all of your kind words and understanding, you really are all wonderful, brilliant people and I couldn't ask for more.

Hi All,

would love to have this month's finished comic to post here, but I'm afraid it will be delayed. I've never missed a month-end before, but the circumstances are extreme and I beg your forgiveness:

My mum has entered palliative care after a rapid deterioration of health over the last few weeks and has been given less than a day to live. I've tried my damnedest to get the art ready for you guys but only have the first 3 panels scripted. I will attach them below until such time as I can finish the rest as soon as the circumstances allow.

Again, I apologise profusely, I wish it could be any other way but real life has, in this instance gotten the better of me.

Thankyou, Smooth
