Author's Notes:

FINALLY! That damn comic is over! I'm most amused by the ending, and so would you have been... had it come out a month ago! As it turns out, that comic was a lot less painful to produce than I had built up in my imagination... and it only took a few beers to convince me to get it done. The "Sword of Storms" has been plundered, won in a ridiculous macho battle, and then sold to the highest [only] bidder! I dare say, there are no dry goods on earth that don't have a fair price. The Captain has once again proved his unscrupulous nature in his quest for MONEY MONEY MONEY!! And now... let's put this one to rest. No doubt you've enjoyed this ALTOGETHER too long comic series. Well, I have too. Especially now that it's over.

Well, surely you've read the news that I am planning a hiatus until late May. This had to be done, as you may have suspected from the long waits between comics in this series. There is more news on that on the main page. All I have to say is... I need a little break before I get into it again. Work is picking up, I have a move to deal with, and all sorts of things are cropping up. When I'm doing the comic, I feel like that is all I am doing. I have to feel free for a little while now in order to maintain good mental health. Don't worry; as I've stated several times before, I have a story to tell, and it isn't NEARLY over... in fact, I am much less than a quarter of the way through the Seaworthy canon (and that's as close as you'll get out of me of the length of this series). I will be back with more fresh material... but not until the end of May. I am waiting for a wave of motivation to set on me, like the one in the third quarter of last year. I leave you with these words: I'm outta here, but not for long!

And Happy Easter!
