Okay, I know, I’m a day late. But I thought this would be better than yet another lame and predictable April Fool’s joke today. Such as announcing a Happysad comeback or something. That would just be cruel.
Hi everybody! How are you doing?

Now I have stopped drawing Happysad cartoons, it’s only natural that my daily visitor count has fallen back. Now it seems to be stabilized at between 400 and 700 a day. Still so many visitors, and I don’t have to do anything for it, tee hee! 
But I know that some of them are Real Fans who keep coming back every now and then looking for updates, and so, to reward your loyalty, here’s a small update about how things are going. I’m only going to tell you nice things. First off, it’s taken a very long time, but I think that spring is finally coming to my country. Oh yeah. Lots of fun stuff ahead as people end their hibernation! I’m also looking forward to the summer, because I already know where I’ll be travelling to. This year, it ‘ll be Costa Rica! If you happen to be over there, send me a mail. Maybe we can meet up
More good news is that I finally got new cartooning assignments, and I hope that means things will pick up again now. And few days ago I saw that one of our national newspapers (well, their website at least) is looking for new cartoonists, so naturally I applied! Now I’m waiting for a reply, and of course while nothing is certain yet (I’m sure there will be lots of competition), my friends have been so supportive, it already makes me feel, well, you know… happy.
So keep your fingers crossed for me. The more often I get back to the drawing board, the quicker inspiration for something new might pop up

Ha, I found the original of my Rebound Boy idea Proof (well, sort of…) that he was born in a bar. Now with free product placement!
Oh look, another idea I’ve never elaborated on. It was a pretty good one nonetheless.
Meet Rebound Boy. He’s a… different kind of superhero I came up with a long, long time ago when I was having a fun time out with my dear friend and extremely talented illustrator Joke (yes, don’t laugh. “Joke” is an actual name here. Short for Johanna or something). We were out in a café, drawing silly cartoons on beer coasters, and this was one of the results.
Rebound Boy, as you already understood, is the kind of superhero who shows up whenever a damsel in distress needs consoling when she’s dumped of has been dumped by her asshole boyfriend. That’s why he wears his “cape” in his shoulder instead of around his neck. Unfortunately, there will be no wild Rebound Boy adventures. He’s retired.
While waiting for new updates on this site, why not check out Joke’s work on http://www.jokeeycken.be/ ? Highy recommended stuff, Oscar-nominated no less!
