Well, it's high time I spill the beans. My production has been lagging, I know this. The last comic I made "Warriors Of Fate" I made in a day merely out of boredom. I've got a lot of time on my hands these days...namely because I'm on temporary disability from my work. Ya' boy Oz isn't doing well these days. I've been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension, Chronic Bronchitis, Hypertensive Heart Disease, Hypokalemia, Vitamin D Deficiency, Acute Kidney Disease, Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction. Yea...pretty fucked up indeed. For the next 2 months I'm spending most of my days medicating, resting and contemplating the 40+ years of bad decisions I've made that nearly landed me in a casket last month. My health has been failing for a while now, I'd say the last 2 years. But being the Marine I am I said "fuckit, I can push through".

That was a lie. I can't.

Sooooooo...here I am in the worst shape I've been in my life, with an enlarged heart that struggles to pump blood and could explode whenever the fuck it wants to. I never thought I'd be here, but again...here I am. So what does that mean for more content? Well, I don't know what it means. I've got ideas flowing in my brain, and I'll have time...but sitting in front of laptop for hours on end isn't exactly conducive to my condition. I have the pics for the next 2 chapters of Stiel Maiden and a few shorter stories already done, I just need to make the panels. After that, not really sure when I'll get to work on new stuff...as that all depends on how long it takes for me to get any of my strength back.

I don't wanna ramble on so I'll wrap this up. My productions and presence on the forum will dip from my normal. Some folk have already noticed this, I'm making it known the reason why. I AM NOT WALKING AWAY OR STEPPING DOWN. I'm just slowing down...like with everything. I've lived a fast paced rollercoaster of a life in my going on 43 years on this world, and it's quite literally killing me. So I need to pump the breaks and make changes IRL. So yea, that's why you haven't seen a lot of content from me lately, and why that trend is probably gonna continue through most of 2023. I'll work on what I can, when I can...but not at the pace I was doing in 2022. Not yet anyway.
