Hi everyone! Sorry for the abrupt change of storyline in the strip today. I started Bleeker in 2006 as a newspaper comic strip and as everyone knows the newspaper industry has been in a steady decline. The comic section has been shrunk or completely gotten rid of. Bleeker is pretty much an online comic now. So, free from the restrictions of that format I wanted to take the comic in a new direction…one that I’ve been thinking about for a long time but wouldn’t have worked (initially at least) as a newspaper strip. Sorry again for the abrupt transition! It was a combination of timing and not wanting to get into a complicated explanation (…plus I recently got a new puppy and he’s going to fry every brain cell I have left)I think robots embarking on retirement should be a lot of fun and the online format provides so many possibilities for creating new worlds.So a new beginning for the old gang and thanks so much for reading Bleeker all of these years! Let’s see where the next 16 take us!JM
