I’m still fighting this cold and it seems to be getting worse. I already went through two boxes of tissues. So I really don’t have the strength to work on the comic. Sorry.

a little disapointed but its not worth your health feel better soon ok
The comic shouldn’t go before your health. I’m sure the fans (me included) can learn to live with it.
just get better. if you died then we’d be stuck without a comic. definitely keep your health foremost in mind.
You might try some quality spiced chai. It’s keep the sinusses open and help you pass the cold.
Hope you to get well soon, so rest a bit and take it easy.
Greetings, your comic and drawings are great :D
Never Explain: Your friends don’t need it, and your enemies won’t beleive you anyway.
Get well soon, friend. Keep up the good work. Drink plenty of liquids and eat well.
Health is far more important; hopefully you are one of the lucky few who can actually get in some quality hours of bedrest when they have a cold.
Get some rest man, you deserve it. I hope you feel better and don’t worry…we can wait. Peace man.
Hawk survived the blast in the comic (somehow), and you will survive this in RL too (somehow)!
sleep. cold medicine (theraflu is my savior). lots of fluids (no sugar!). take a day or two off from work.
this is what i reccomend. that’s what i did and (4 days later) i’m more or less back to normal.
don’t worry about the comic. don’t worry about anything other than yourself.
get better ^_^
Hey Hawk, get better.
Feel better soon! Comic can wait. :)
Get well soon!
Health before work, dude. Get well soon!
Hey, get better man. Don’t try to rush the healing either, just go with it, you’ll update when you update.
Also, I thought of you while I was at the apple store today, buying a 24 inch iMac for one of the faculty here on campus… the school credit card almost bought a 30″ cinema display, a Mac Pro, and a 17″ Macbook Pro… almost.
Viva la echinacia, zinc, vitamin c, and garlic oil
At least you don’t have to practice karate or judo with a cold… you end up fainting, and it’s SO not funny.
Oh. Feel better soon.
Chicken soup and lots of rest. Make sure you dress warm to dear, hope you feel better.
Aww, get better soon ol’ buddy ol’ pal :D
next time, try this stuff called airborne; its a tablet you put in water and drink thats supposed to give your immunity a boost to help fight off a cold.
Feel better, Hawk!
Drink lots of Orange Juice, eat lots of soup, get plenty of sleep (hopefully you can still breath with a cold - unlike me!), and take it easy. You might read/watch something funny - laughter is the best medicine, as they say - it’s true!
You worry about getting better - the comic can wait! Oh, and play with your Mac Pro for me… Lucky!
Chicken soup, Sleep, apple juice, ginger tea. :P
Don’t apologize - you do this comic for free for us without ever asking for anything back (save for bits of advice from time to time). You don’t owe us anything; we’re indebted to you.
I was going to recommend something, but people have already done that, so, just get some rest and take it easy; you definitely deserve it.
Get well soon Hawk. Your health always should come before work, I just wish someone whould explain that to my boss :(
Don’t worry about the comic, we’ll be here anyway :)
Get some rest and I hope you get well soon!
get better sniffles, 2 boxes????? are u sure that it was only used for you cold?, lol, j/k, get better man, just get better.
Feel better man, you keep me in suspense, waiting for whats coming…especially after Anath telling us that he connects with the current and next comic.BTW first time post, long time fan. Love the direction you are taking.
P.S.- Have you ever thought about putting out hard copies of AG?
hey, I was just thinking the same thing…
hope you get better soon. colds suck, I know.
i thought that they did…. for a short time… or maybe that was other merch…
Your health is more important. Besides, if you were to try to do the comic under such conditions, it may affect your work, which I absolutely love. Getter well soon!
Hawk, don’t stress it. The more stresssed you are, the worse your immune system will get. Doodle if it makes you feel better, but don’t feel pressured to work on the comic. Health first, work second, the comic fits somewhere inbetween. Love the serious storyline so far.
Man you need to start taking airborne. Hope you feel better.
Its ok . . . well still love you // Just get well soon
Alot of people are gettin colds this last week or so, how very strange
*giggle* Im on a iMac as i type this // The site looks so much prettier now
-M
Take care of yself! really, if you can take some time off… get some *insert-your-favorite* tea, lots of water and a bit of rest (sleep is more like it) Hope you feel better soon!
btw COOL SITE! and love the way you guys have managed the comic (both art-and-story wise) u rule!
A cold during Ramadan? That double sucks man. I suppose you have to drink water now …
See, now what you do is you sleep during the day while you can’t eat, and then hydrate yourself when you can. Yeah, that’s right. Work the system…unless it is blasphemy, then you know…don’t.
A blocked-up hooter *and* the Ramadan Squirrel?! NOT a combination you need right now.
Hey, if Piro and Greg can get away with it, you can easy. Take your time, amigo.
Stay up homie no need to kill yourself over the comic, do what you do to get better. When I get sick I take 3000mg Vit C (1000mg 3x a day) and 50mg Zinc. The zinc acts a Nos to the immune system and the Vit C it may sound like a lot but the body will only take so much of it the remainder gets flushed out by passin fluids.
I dunno know if your aloud to, EVEN when your sick, but, chicken broth (boolean in hot water) is a great help, as well as orange juice and lots of sleep. Get well soon!
There is this stuff called Airborne my mother used to make me drink all the time when I said I had a sore throat or even during a cold.
I recently caught the cold myself and decided to use mother’s advice…I drank airborne about every 2 hours (it’s really kind of disgusting) and took nyquil at bed time.
Woke up alright the next morning ^_^
Feel better!
ALCHOOL! Man. Burn it out of your system. Work through Da PAIN! Sorry for playing devils advocate but…Someone as too. Everyone is all: “Take it easy Hawk - Take some soup Hawk - I love you Hawk - Can I have your baby Hawk (Ok, no one said that but I’m sure some of you thought about it!!!)”. Well I’m here to say “Party with the boyZ at night! Get up with the men in the morning! I want my AG fix lol. And…huh..Well…Aww crap, get well soon!
lol nice.
All those shiney new toys that you don’t get to play with. That is the real pain. Your just using sickness as excuse not to get fingerprints on your new iPod.
Get well soon Mate. That’s more important!
Relax man, don’t worry about the comic. Your health is 10 times more important than everyone’s obsessive compulsive disorder to get their comic on time =P
Get well
NYQUIL
Get Well Soon Hawk
Rest. Get well. There is nothing more important than your health.
Rest and get better, but while you’re at it you might want to try something that will clear your nose and unfluff the cotton wool feeling in your head:
Take a pint (or larger) mug
Squeeze at least 6 whole lemons’ juice into it
Add a quarter to a half inch of blackcurrent juice concentrate
Use a lemon zester to put in a moderate quantity of fresh ginger
Add boiling water and stir vigorously.
Drink with 1000mg (2×500mg tabs) of paracetemol, or the maximum recommended one-time dose of another painkiller.
Don’t forget to chew the (small) ginger chunks.
If this doesn’t give you temporary relief from your cold, I’ll go stick my head in my vacuum cleaner’s bag, and have a sympathy hayfever attack. K? :)
Green tea, gallons of it, warm if at all possible. Always cures what ails ya.
It’s that time of the year again and the constant weather changes is just passing out colds to everyone. Hope you feel better soon Hawk.
Get well soon :)
feel better ;) your health goes first!! (rest, fluids, warm blankie and tv, or a book, or great music if your eyes are bothering ya) goodluck!
GOOD LUCK WITH RAMADAN!!!
Poor Hawk. =/ I totally understand how that goes. I just got over a really nasty cold some time back right before a big convention AND moving. Not fun.
You’ve heard it all before, but they’ve all got a point! Fluids and rest are the best thing! We can wait for the comic.
GET BETTER, HAWK-SAMA! *flail*
Get better soon! The comic can wait until you get better!
Kat’s helpful hints to getting better:
Sleep
Chicken Noodle Soup
Sleep
Orange Juice
Sleep
Medicine! (If you don’t liek that nasty tasting stuff they sell at the stores, the home-made equivelant is a shot of Lemon Juice (vitamin C, plus burns out the crud in your throat) and a large spoonfull of honey (coats the throat the help prevent irritation), mix well, and chug. Will burn really really bad, but will help a lot. A shot of Whiskey in the mix is optional. Take every 4-6 hours, or as needed.
Sleep!
Hot tea, preferably green or white, no processed suger but a bit of honey is ok…
Sleep.
So unless Ranadan has an exception for when you are sick, you are going to be doing alot of sleepign during the day, and medicating/eating what is good for you at night…..
But get yoruself better before worrying about us fans!
Did I mention that you need lots of sleep?
:D
We
My last sentance go cut off… :( so here it is:
We
Ok, evidently it didn’t like what I was typing… so let’s try this again…
We *heart* you, Hawk!
I hope you feel better soon!
Dude! Loving the new-look comic right now, so sorry to hear about your cold, but at least you’re not over here in England!
Have lots of cups of tea (they solve *everything*) loads of vitamin C and forget echicnea, take ginger supplements, or just pig out on ginger biscuits (or ginger snaps, I think you folks call them over the water). Anyhow, use the time to have everyone dote and pay attention to you ;)
When you get better (as you will, go SuperHawk!) I am so looking forward to the next comic! Get well soon *hugs*
Lyn x
Nope, you can’t get sick. Go back to the computer and finish the comic. You hear me??? ;)
You get ill, I get iPod. Connection?
Your best bet would to get 10 straight hours of unbothered sleep, then eat a bunch of spicy Mexican food the next day. The spices will clean out your sinuses, and the grease will clean everything else out that ails you.
Desparate times call for desparate measures, including the rigourous consumption of beans, meat and cheese.
Hope you get well soon, and heres a thought to cheer you up as you snot the day away,
I went bowling with my friends and wore the power symbol t-shirt i just bought(me being fairly well endowed) had to the repeat the phrase”No you can not turn me on” about 8 times. Again get well soon health before comic.
I’d just like you to know that the pictures you posted of your new Mac Pro was the final nudge I needed.
I just ordered one for myself.
I think you should post another Flickr image of your new setup now.
By the way man, don’t rush to get back. Feel better!
aw man… cold sucks. get well soon.
YOU SLACKER!!!!
Just kidding! See how much hate mail I get for that…
I reccomend going to bed in sweatpants and a sweater with as many blankets as you got, yes, you will wake up drenched in sweat and it’ll suck, but since viruses can only live in moderate temperatures, anything extremely hot or cold kills em off, do it for a few days and you’ll be back to health.
Best wishes and blessings for Ramadan.
…….Hate mail? How? We don’t know your email? Not that I would anyway. I don’t get into that kind of thing. :)
i hope you feel better i really enjoy your comics. a friend of mine told me about them and they are awesome… can’t wait for you to feel better. :))
There’s certainly a lot of love in this room.
Being English, I know colds better then most, lol
Get well soon :D
Feel better. :)
Get well the comic can be put on hold.
Rule 1 take care of you first.
Rule 2 then worry about the stuff u put on hold
i worry more about the makers then the comic your life comes first then the comic
Colds are teh suck. Hope you feel better soon. Orange juice, and lots of rest!
nice sun flares, awesome color hawk ;)
Wow… if someone was to say something like “being sick is no excuse, give us comics!” I think that they would actually be hunted down and castrated by this group… nice fan base [^_^]
Yeah I have a cold now as we speak…please be smarter than me and take it easy!
Hey man. You’re so dedicated at this site, and you kick a lot of ass. Just wanted to say that your work is appreciated, at whatever pace. Love to ya man. Get better.
:rofl: @ the ramadan joke
