Hi everyone! I wanted to give you an update on things here. I’m recovering well from the surgery but it’s going to take a bit longer than I thought (some nerves got pushed around and they really don’t take kindly to that!) So I’m going to give everything a good rest and aim for the new comics to start January 1st. In the mean time we have more of Refurb and 2-Slice’s wacky/weird adventures (I forgot about 2-Slice’s grandfather…he definitely needs to make an appearance in 2024) I hope you guys are enjoying them!Again…many thanks for all of the positive vibes…very much appreciated!
Thanks for the kind words everyone! You guys really make me laugh with your comments so keep them coming! I should be back to the drawing tablet by next week.Thanks again guys!
Hi everyone! Sorry, I should’ve posted something regarding the new Monday to Friday schedule. I’m still figuring out how this will all work. I may do Sunday pages in the future depending on how things go. Thanks eh!
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
Hey guys, thanks for reading! You’re right that the missing years are from when the strip was syndicated with King Features…however there’s no legal issues with posting them here at GoComics. It’s more a question of time. The strips were saved in a different format than what GoComics uses…so every comic has to be reformatted and saved with new coding. Not a complicated job but with 5 years (just shy of 2000) worth of strips to process it’s taking awhile. Hopefully I’ll get some time and get them all converted soon. Thanks again eh!J
It’s a callback to the Febuary 15th comic…sorry, maybe too far back!
