I Hardly Think

2016.08.22-173

The HewToons Editorial Board is proud to announce the return of HewToons daily* comics now until October 20, 2016.

Please note: the current storyline of The Magnificents is set in 2013, when Prince George of England was, in fact, an infant. Readers are politely requested not to inform the Board that Prince George is currently a toddler. Any and all temporal complaints should be directed to Mr. Walker.

We were saddened and dismayed by Mr. Walker’s conviction and incarceration for copyright infringement. (As noted in official court statements by the Board in 2013, these actions were entirely perpetrated by Mr. Walker and the HewToons Editorial Board had no knowledge of any unlawful material distributed under the HewToons.com domain.) We are confident that Mr. Walker has been completely rehabilitated and is able to rejoin polite society. If you see him, do not be alarmed by his ankle bracelet. If he begins to show signs of violence and is not automatically sedated within five minutes, please contact the local authorities.

*”Daily comics” refers to comics published Monday through Thursday. This is the maximum number of comics the Board can ask Mr. Walker to produce per week without granting him full-time working status and its associated benefits.

Return of the Toons

Gentle Readers,

In accordance with my promise made in November of 2013, HewToons will resume publishing on 8/22/16. The story stopped in the middle of a Magnificents episode. If you would like to reread that storyline from the beginning, you can start here. If you forget what on earth this entire webcomic is, use the “First” navigation button below to start over from the beginning. (And leave comments on all the comics so people think they have an actual following!)

To my spam emailers, I look forward to deleting your correspondence once again.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Doug (Evil is still optional.)

Gentle Readers,

Phooey! I had a feeling it would be impossible to keep up comic production through the end of the year. It became inevitable months ago when the comics were barely dry in time to publish them.

This time, I can at least blame my employers. They have a bizarre policy that I should actually finish my projects on time. Which means the holiday season, already hectic, is going to become miserable.

So unfortunately, I’m forced to issue an I.O.U. for the last 36 HewToons.  My plan is to keep working on them, but not to publish until they’re all completed.  That way I’ll just take one break, rather than risking multiple shutdowns.  I’m not sure when the final 36 will be finished.  I’d like to say they’ll start up again toward the beginning of 2014, but I can’t make any guarantees.

For my tens of followers, I apologize.  I hate to break my promises.  For my spam emailers, keep ’em coming.  I’ll keep deleting them.

Thanks for reading,

Doug (Evil is optional.)
