Adagissimo Returns from Hiatus

Ok, this is where I profoundly apologize to my readership for the unannounced hiatus of the last few weeks. I know there's really no way to justify it, so I won't. I accept all blame.

The reason for my blip off the face of humanity has been illustrated in the Adagissimo strip for May 29th. I was summarily 'let go' from my previous position and released back into the wild. I won't go into the reasons of why I was fired (anymore than the strip does) except to say that I'm sure my former employers felt justified in their actions. It goes without saying that I do not agree.

Normally, when a web artist is unemployed this means that they get more work done rather than less. In my case all my creative energies were going into updating my resume and spamming the poor unfortunate people who post on Craigslist with it. I've landed temporary work with a marketing agency, which pays the bills for now. Pretty soon I'll be back on the market, but at least this time I'll qualify for unemployment.

Needless to say, the hiatus ate up my buffer of finished comics. I've got a few put together and ready for post, but you should probably count on seeing a lot of filler until I've got a few storylines finished and ready to go up.

One thing I will say for my unexpected release back into the job market is that it's given me a ton and a half of comic material.

It's all about the little blessings, I guess.

That's all for now,

-Rachel
