(I stole that title from an email Phil sent me years ago.)
Yep, being made redundant on December 1st! Looking forward to it, haven't been unemployed since 1999 when I was an idle waster. Oooh that was a strange period, 2 of my mates were also jobless and we got up to some mischief. I vowed I'd never walk out of a job again after that. Ugh! just thinking about it now, shoplifting tins of Postman Pat shapes and various other humiliating things to keep going. Luckily my Landlord was cool and I had paid 2 months ahead.
6 of us are getting the boot. It's been on the cards for months and although I knew it was coming, it was still a bit of a shock. We all thought it'd be after Christmas. My boss seemed more upset than some of us, he's a decent bloke and I admire his attitude to business and life. I've learned alot from him. Fuck it, I've made provisions and really need some time off.
Some people are surprised that I still work full time, thinking that I make a living from giving away comics for free. Nah, it's a stugglin' juggling act between comics and work. For the past 6 years it’s been me worrying about time management. Time to play the Hovis music: I’m up at6:30am in work by 8 home by 6pm , comics from 6:30 to as late as 11pm, asleep before 1am then back in work, five days a week. (Now play the violin music) then around another 8-12 hours on Sundays. All a massive strain and pain in the nuts.
A few months off is deserved. Have loads to do. Loads. Amperduke hasn't been touched in months! I've been compiling a list of all the stuff I want to get stuck in to. Tons of shit. No danger of me lounging around watching Judge Judy.
So here's to 2007, sleeping till 9am and working in my undies.

I find that hard to believe!!
Amperduke may not have been touched in months, but I bet that's because you were busy touching yourself, eh? eh?
(on a more serious note, given that I just about manage to do a b&w webcomic on a usually-weekly-basis, your output and quality surprises me every time I see something by you)
Sorry to hear your getting the bullet man. Sounds like short notice too. Cant see you sittin on your arse for long though. You can always come back to us. okey smokey and len will be waiting with outstretched crutsy liver spotted arms.
Bob sez: Thanks lads. Yeah Kyle I'm the bomb. I'll lecture you about increasing productivity if you want at the con.
Nah Knack, rather conduct eye surgery on myself than go back to that quagmire.
