I just wanted to let you know that PLEASE FORGIVE ME is going on break, starting Monday, 6\/3\/19. I am not sure how long the comic will be on break at the moment. My guess at this time that it will be a month or two. But that may change. I&#8217;m not sure. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going on break because I haven&#8217;t been able to draw at a decent pace lately. My comic buffer kept diminishing more and more, and now I&#8217;m just about out of material to share. <\/p>\n<p>Lately, real life stuff has been a bit intense. A family member was in the hospital for a good amount of time and that made drawing at my usual pace difficult. <\/p>\n<p>Also, recently, I went through a rocky patch of intense worry. So I ended up taking a class on how to manage anxiety. I started going to therapy again, too. Right now, I&#8217;m feeling much better. The class taught me various exposure therapy methods and CBT stuff. <\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, my work schedule shifted and my job got busier and more stressful. After taking a bit of time off here and there to spend time with my folks in the hospital, I sort of had to catch up with work. That&#8217;s where I&#8217;m at right now. <\/p>\n<p>Fourthly, I&#8217;ve been consciously trying to relax more. Normally, I like to be constantly working when I&#8217;m awake. However, I&#8217;ve started to allow myself to start playing video games with my wife and friends on weeknights and weekends.<\/p>\n<p>During this break, I&#8217;ll still be working on PFM, of course. PLEASE FORGIVE ME is very important to me. It&#8217;s got a huge place in my heart. The break will not only give me time to rebuild the comic buffer, but it&#8217;ll let Josef and I have more time to iron out more ideas for the future of this series. <\/p>\n<p>If I feel like it, I&#8217;ll also work on some of my side projects like Wacky Land, the IT HURTS cartoon, maybe some stupid YouTubes, who knows&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, for more updates along the way, FOLLOW US ON TWITTER:<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #76448a;\"><b>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/gobolatula\">Follow Gob on Twitter!<\/a><\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #76448a;\"><b>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JosefSchwem\">Follow Josef on Twitter!<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>REGARDING PATEREON PATRONS DURING THE BREAK: <\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve turned monthly charging off for the break.
