the grim reaper turns out to be a pretty okay guy

Death is An Existential Repo Man

Because these comics are admittedly non-autobiographical (this one especially so, thank goodness!), I rarely get to talk directly to you guys, but I feel like I owe you an explanation for all the late/missed updates, and for the scheduling change (more on this below), so here it goes.

Basically, I work three part-time jobs and I'm also a full-time student (I only work one or two jobs when I'm in school), and, lately, trying to keep up with three RPC comics and two Little Worlds comics every week has been especially exhausting. In the last year I've started having some stress-related health issues that have affected my sleeping, eating, and working patterns, which is a pretty raw way to live. Anyway, lately I've been struggling to set boundaries to manage my stress and make sure that I get to spend the time I want with the people I care about, especially my brave and patient girlfriend who has stayed up with me for countless comic deadlines, watching me edit and re-edit single lines of text until I get too tired to work anymore.

It's been a really, really, REALLY hard decision since (despite my professed callousness) I really care about you guys, but it's something I've got to do if I want to keep my spirits up and get through my MA next year. I'm going to drop two weekly comics (one from RPC and one from Little Worlds), so now RPC updates Monday and Friday, and Little Worlds updates on Wednesday.

Thank you for all your emails of support over the years. I'm always happy to hear from you at peter@rockpapercynic.com
