Hi everyone.

I wanted to drop by to say how much I appreciate all the lovely reactions I’ve received from you. It is really heartwarming to get such a positive and encouraging response, despite the sad announcement I’ve made. This makes it so much easier for me as well.

In case you were wondering, no I haven’t come up with a new comic yet I’m just giving my mind some rest right now. These things can’t be forced anyway. Funny thing is that in the past few days there have been a few situations where I thought: Hmm, this might make for a good Happysad cartoon! The old reflexes are still there. Maybe they will fade away in time, or maybe not, I don’t know.

There was one last thing I wanted to mention: I forgot to say thanks specifically to the “hard core” fans who returned daily to my site and commented very frequently on my cartoons. I’m not going to list them, in case I would forget someone, but you know who you are. I will however make one exception. Boodie, you have indeed been one of my most loyal fans for a very very long time, and I just wanted to tell you: I’m sorry I made you cry. I hope you’re feeling better now.

Now this is for all of you:

Have a great year!

Jeroen
