So a guy walks into a bar and says, “I need to put my webcomic on hiatus.” The bartender looks puzzled and says, “Sir, are you going to order anything?” The guy says, “No, no.” He touches the bartender’s hand and looks in his eyes. “I just wanted you to know.”
With a heavy sigh, the man leaves.
Here’s the important stuff: the website isn’t going anywhere (nor are the archives) and we both want to return to the comic eventually. This isn’t a full-blown abandonment by any means, but both Greg and I have our reasons for halting comic production for the present.
For me—me who is John, who is not Greg—this comic has been more of a crutch than a hobby in the past few months. I’ve used it as an excuse to avoid investigating and pursuing What I Really Want To Do, and I don’t have the emotional discipline to go on a spiritual journey and make comics at the same time. More predictably, Chronillogical has become more of a chore than a pleasant pasttime, and that sort of defeats the point of having a comic in the first place! In order for Chronillogical to be Fun and Meaningful again, it will need to change radically—and so will I—and that takes Time.
“Time”, you see? Oh ho ho, how ironic!
Greg has also been experiencing Life Events of his own that have had an unfavorable effect on comicking, but he’s decided to leave his thoughts in the comments (so as not to dilute my Thoughtful Prose).

So, goodbye for now, but not forever (such is our intent, anyway):
