I made myself a promise, and it's time to collect.

As you know if you've read this site, I don't like it when webcomic blogs yammer about trying not to miss more updates. As you also know if you've read this site, I missed several Gordian Algebra updates recently. Truth is I'm at a confluence of events that are eating up my time. It's not going to end this week or next week.

Since I promised myself I wouldn't yammer, I'm flat out announcing a brief vacation. Gordian Algebra will return in August. I'd hoped we could get at least a year in the can before I took a break, but, y'know, life.

Luckily it's much easier to keep up with a blog than a comic strip, so I'll continue to post here during July. I haven't forgotten, dear readers, that I owe you some webcomic recommendations. They'll arrive after I finish another writing project this weekend.

Also, I'm open to suggestions about what else to post in the next month. I could dust off some antique comics I wrote for my college paper ten years ago. I'd enjoy posting some guest comics, if anyone gets the urge to fill the uncomfortable strip-silence. I'll continue to toss sketches up at my deviantArt page, but I could post a few here as well. Any requests? (Before you ask, "fan service" drawings of the nurse would drive away readers faster than Mario Andretti windsurfing on a cheetah.)

I suspect you'll learn more about me this July than you or I ever wanted. Batten down and buckle up, stalwart readers. This could get interesting.
