A Post about “Injury”

Howdy, folks. Once again, I’ve proven that, even in a state of com­plete non-​activity, I will stum­ble upon new ways to hurt myself.

Specif­i­cally, a day or two ago, I must have slept on my right shoul­der in some unortho­dox way, because when I woke up, it was A) really sore, B) dif­fi­cult to move, and C) painful to move for long peri­ods of time. This was a prob­lem: draw­ing uses the whole arm, includ­ing the shoul­der. To be blunt, I no longer have the time to com­plete the comic in time for Tuesday.

Yes, that’s right: I hurt myself while sleep­ing. Rest assured, though it sounds pathetic, the matter is not tri­fling. I … sup­pose you’ll need to take my word for it, unless some­thing sim­i­lar has hap­pened to you in the past.

Anyway, I should prob­a­bly keep the comick­ing to a min­i­mum until the joint improves, which for the time being means that, instead of updat­ing the site with comics like I ought to do, I’ll be updat­ing the site with sketches of vary­ing qual­ity that I have lying around. (A jour­ney through the mind! What dis­cov­er­ies await?) Greg also says that he’ll be writ­ing two blog entries this week instead of one, so look out for those on Wednes­day and Thurs­day. (Secrets! Secrets from the future.)

It’ll be a bar­rage of extra-​comical con­tent! This might be … excit­ing? In any case, hang in there, guys and gals! We’ll pull through this. At least, that’s my hope.

  1. Yeah. I’ve injured myself in sim­i­lar ways myself. I’ve woken up with absolutely no use of my arm on more than one occa­sion.

    No wor­ries – I woke up one morn­ing and couldn’t turn my neck with­out intense pain. Might have been okay except my head was facing to the right. Had to have a friend drive me to the ER, since I couldn’t look out the wind­shield with­out turn­ing my whole body to the left. They gave me valium, god bless ‘em!

    I’ve got an idea–why not get the writer to draw? Oh, wait a sec, that’s a really bad idea, isn’t it?

    Or you could draw ‘em in the future, use the time machine to send them back into the past, and then post them on time. But then, if you were going to do that, you’d have already posted ‘em on time, which clearly hasn’t hap­pened, so I guess the time machine isn’t quite ready…
