November?!?

Hey! Sorry for the radio silence. I’m still here. I’ve just been struggling with *vague gesture encompassing multitudes* stuff. I’m going to try to get Good Tickle Brain back up and running, but probably will only be posting one comic a week for a while as I get my feet back under me. Thanks for your patience.

Expectations

Hey noble Good Tickle Brain readers! Just a quick note to let you know I will be taking July off as a mental health month. I’m OK, but the last couple months have definitely been a struggle and I’ve got to take some time to properly fix things instead of just constantly papering over the cracks. It’s really difficult, because the first rule of webcomics is “commit and stick to a regular posting schedule!!” and I can probably count on two hands the number of times I’ve missed a comic deadline over the past 7+ years. However, I’m tired of constantly having days like this:

Shoppe orders will continue to be filled, although I unexpectedly ran out of posters, so it might be a couple weeks before they are back in stock. See you back here in August! Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Once and For All

I wasn’t planning to take June off, but it’s been good for me. I’ve been trying vaguely to work, but mostly I’ve been letting myself rest and recharge a bit.

One thing I have not been doing is trying to get to Inbox Zero.

If I never responded to you e-mail, this is what happened and I’m sorry.

Today’s comic, as with all of this month’s filler content, comes courtesy of my noble and patient supporters on Patreon.

Organized

Hey! I was hoping to be back up and running this month, but May was kind of a disaster for me and I am at the end of my proverbial tether, so here are some filler strips courtesy of my wonderfully generous Patreon supporters.

Pandemic Lessons & Life

A pair of pandemic-themed comics from last year, courtesy of my supporters on Patreon. I’m extremely fortunate in that I’ve been minimally affected by the pandemic (apart from the constant buzzing anxiety and crushing lack of in-person social interaction that everyone is suffering). So I’m trying to focus on the positives here.

The last 12 months have definitely been a learning experience and I would like it to end now, please and thank you.
