Huge apologies - delay & update
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 17:30:36 +0000 UTCHi again, everyone. Here's an update on what's happened:
My mum passed away at about 11AM yesterday morning after holding out far longer than the original prognosis suggested. While I have let out all of my emotion, frustration and tears already, in the end I have taken even greater strength and respect from her fight and determining the end on her own time frame. I'll be finishing the comic in the next few days as I regain the strength and the ending, for those who saw the raw renders, will be changed slightly as an ode to the determination I witnessed and felt these last few days.
Thank you all so so much for all of your kind words and understanding, you really are all wonderful, brilliant people and I couldn't ask for more.

Hi All,
would love to have this month's finished comic to post here, but I'm afraid it will be delayed. I've never missed a month-end before, but the circumstances are extreme and I beg your forgiveness:
My mum has entered palliative care after a rapid deterioration of health over the last few weeks and has been given less than a day to live. I've tried my damnedest to get the art ready for you guys but only have the first 3 panels scripted. I will attach them below until such time as I can finish the rest as soon as the circumstances allow.
Again, I apologise profusely, I wish it could be any other way but real life has, in this instance gotten the better of me.
Thankyou, Smooth

I'll be the fifth person to say that but "don't worry"... I'd be a terrible person if I complained about this month's dealy in that context. Take care of your familly. I hope things get better for you. You have all my support !
