3549 Dig Two Graves
Okay, so an explanation is in order:
As you know (ensign), “Blood Hand: A Lucas & Cadugan Mystery” has been a collaborative chapter in YAFGC. t! and I planned it, the major plot points, characters, and other stuff out together in the beginning, though I rely a LOT on him because I find Murder Mystery structure to be a bit detail dependant and I’m quite prone to improv and forgetting where I was going with things. So I left t! with a lot of the writing stuff which he has provided wonderfully. Things started to really get bogged down, however, when I became busy and unable to dedicate the time required to draw and post strips regularly, and would often surprise t! with suddenly announcing to him unawares that I had caught up with his scripts and needed MOAR!
Now t! is awesome and provided! But he also has a life, and gets busy, so sometimes the delay of a day or two might have been because I was waiting for him. Which was much rarer.
Anywhoo, I find myself in a situation where I have a decent amount of time to actually work on YAFGC comics, but it is t! who has gotten very busy with an important project. (He’s mid-run on a production of Much Ado About Nothing, then taking a much-deserved vacation trip.) t! suggested that we put a story-break in the “Murder Mystery” for now and I can indulge in another story I’ve had planned. So rest assured that “Blood Hand”, Lucas & Cadugan will be back to solve this mystery. But as of Monday, we’ll be visiting with some other characters for a bit.
Thank you all for your continued patience and coming back time and again. I hope that there will be at least a little bit of regular YAFGC in the near future.

This goes here:
Richard graciously gave me the opportunity to write my own little blurb in the editorial section. I didn’t really think of anything.
All I really want people to know is that I’ve appreciated your support; it means a lot. Thanks. And this story WILL be back soon!

I hope it pleases everyone to hear that I am already 5 strips into the new story, starting Monday. \

The plot thickens (as if it wasn't already thick enough).

make sure to take your time and rest t! if you or richard get burned out then everything will take even longer 🙂
Life comes first, especially when it comes to down times and vacations.

Is panel two meant to start with "Good"? Because it doesn't.
Gooddammit. Yes it is.
Should we be thanking SAG-AFTA for this deluge of strips?
Nope!
Neither of our jobs are affected by the strike.

It's been an entertaining story, as usual, but I was wondering when it was going to shift to some of the other characters, I'd expected it to cut away for awhile long before now. I'd hate to think of all the rest of the cast trying to get by on unemployment while they were laid off for this arc. 😉
I’m actually glad this story is going on a break. Don’t get me wrong, I like mysteries and am curious about how it’s going to resolve, but… I miss other characters.
I'm looking forward to reading some YAFGC I didn't write!

Good God, God is good. 😁
Wow, classic epic movie indeed. Now we get the intermission so people can get more popcorn, milk duds, sodas and oh yeah, visit the bathrooms.
Or just sit back and enjoy the entr'act theme.
I very much want to see what happens with the rest of the mystery, but I also very much want to get a few bits catching up with characters that we haven't seen anything from since the big time jump! An intermission with a few bits from other old favorites that we haven't seen in a while would be lovely! Any YAFGC we can get is good YAFGC.
Thank you, t!, for writing an intriguing mystery. I'll be looking forward to when you have the time to devote to. In the meantime, focus on real life, and then get a well earned rest on your vacation!
Rich, once again thank you for all that you do for us. Never worry about having to take the time to focus on work, family, and taking care of yourself. We'll be here when you can return.
You do what you want and need to do Rich. I'm enjoying the ride!
This clarifies things, especially the tone of the comments replies.
Be healthy!
Thanks for the fine mystery thus far, t! and Rich.
I look forward to seeing more of it in due time — Vengeance for Brother Bernard's Tail! — but as others have said, there are lots of other characters I can't wait to check in on, too. In fact, I just now started to list a few of the people I most want to know how life has been treating for the last ten years, but the list quickly ballooned to read "All Of Them!"
