I hadn’t anticipated the need to do so, but Messenger will be taking a short break until the first weekend in March. This is so I can spend more time on properly getting the third issue of Follower ready for print. I don’t want to compromise one comic for the other, so it seems the best way to make sure everything gets done correctly is to take a short break. There’s a distinct possibility that I’ll finish the book work before March, and if that’s the case, updates will come a lot sooner! But in the meantime, that’s my deadline for getting things done.

Apologies for the unexpected hiccup, and thanks for reading!

“Today, governments, civil society and the private sector must unite to eradicate all contemporary forms of slavery. … Together, let us do our utmost for the millions of victims throughout the world who are held in slavery and deprived of their human rights and dignity.”

Message for the International Day
for the Abolition of Slavery
2 December 2012

Today is International Abolition Day, and in honor of this, the Comic Creators For Freedom fundraising drive starts today, organized by Lora Innes of The Dreamer and Crystal Yates of Earthsong! This year, 167 artists contributed images of their characters in “awkward school photos” to be part of one huge wallpaper, which you will receive by donating to the fundraiser. All of the money raised benefits Love 146, which is an international organization working to end child exploitation and slavery. This year I contributed art featuring Eldora, and there is probably art from other creators you know as well, including art by my friends Rx3 from WaMoH and Chu from Slightly Damned!

The fundraiser continues through December 14th. Please support this excellent cause!
