I’m staying late at work to figure out a Flash programming issue. There are times when I really hate Flash/actionscript. I’m really hating tonight.

Edit: Taking work home with me. No comic tomorrow. sorry.

I’m considering getting angry at you when you DO apologize for missing a comic. =P

Seriously dude, when any labor of love becomes to much of a burden, the awesomeness of the work suffers. Do what you gotta do, we’ll be here, you’ve already earned our loyalty. =)

I know how you feel, Hawk… I took a Flash class this semester and we barely touched Actionscript… I had nightmares about it. I can only imagine the trouble you’re going through, so you’ve got my sympathy. ^^

Thank you for taking the time to let us know what is going on with your life and the comic Hawk! I think most of us totally understand that there will be delays and we are pretty much okay with them :) It is very nice not to be in limbo wondering if everything is okay or if a comet struck your home.

I know you’ll hate me for this, but I’m drunk and I don’t care. I come from a big party with lots of boobs and chicks and o my god I’m wasted and full of boobs (?) Lol
Sorry, my drunknesses excuses me.

Actionscript is a real pain, especially when it messes up. Flash itself is okay, but Photoshop still wins hands down as a drawing program.
