Just a quick, friendly question - when is the next update coming around? I've been itching to see what happens next.

Just asking. :grin: ;)

Yes, I have missed this comic. Is everything alright, or have things just gotten crazy on your end?

Yes, the latter, UC. I'm really sorry for not keeping up with my updating schedule. I'm planning on making it up to everyone with a big update soon. Thanks for checking in on me. ^^

w-wow ----> tears of joy
i checked on this about a couple of months ago and it was only at the passing out scene and now woot
The Letter from God Dear child, Despite your silence, I have heard your soul weeping. Why have you been so unhappy? Have you forgotten my everlasting love for you? Child, you are mine. Why have you not called my name sooner? If you seek me, I will answer. I am your counselor, ready to instruct you and show you which path to take. When you come to me, I will embrace you and silence all your fears. Just remember that I am here to hold you close and dry your tears. I will always be right beside you. Not only am I your father, but your best friend. Do not be afraid to ask for my mercy and forgiveness. I know that its hard to live on earth, so I understand when you fall down once in awhile, ask me for help, and I will pick you up and carry you. No one loves you more than I do. When you feel alone, remember I am beside you. When you feel helpless, remember I offer myself to you. When you feel lost, remember I will lead you, and when you feel forgotten, remember that you are my child and I will love you unconditionally. It is never too late to come home. I will be here waiting, ready to embrace you. I will leave the light on for you. Forever with you, God

I, uh, updated. ^^;

Sorry, life got a little out of hand for a while, but I think I'm going to give it another try and get back on schedule. And when I really miss out on updates, instead of a dpd (or sgd day [if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then it's really no loss ^^;]) I'm going to have apology pages, like A#1 "Alone" that's up right now.

So yeah ... that's it.

BTW, unbearable hiatus or not, ST is officially the best webcomic out there. Period. Why? Gypsy art + Gypsy storyline + SANCTUS REAL! = awesomeness above all others.

Original? ^^; That can be both a good and a bad thing. The "..." before "original" makes me wonder. You can be honest, Icarus, I've already written the disclaimer about this chapter.

I did a double update today to try to make up for [almost] the entire month of October that I missed - this gave me a new idea.

I'm thinking of trying out a twice a week schedule - Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'll try to post two pages on those days if I can, but if I can't, I'll try to get at least four pages up a week by posting on other days.

I'm also going to be working on a wallpaper, and maybe an avatar or two (right after I get the story synopsis and links page done :sweat: ) and I was wondering if anyone had a scene preference or a theme idea. I'm totally open to fan stuff (less work for me!!! ... I mean ... *coughs*) and if you'd like a high res pic of anything so far, just ask. You can also specify with or without backgrounds. Oh, and for the record (I probably already mentioned this) anyone is welcome to use my art or character likenesses for stuff, but I would really appreciate either a link, or some line of text that mentions it's from or based on Skipping Tomorrows. You don't have to credit me directly, but if you could direct people back to the webcomic, I'd appreciate it.

Ok, I think that's it. Feedback, even if it's a few words, would be very much appreciated. I know that no one asked me to do this, but I am trying to be nice and post a free webcomic and all, and I put a lot of hours into Skipping Tomorrows ... getting input from CAAers about schedule changes and stuff would be extremely helpful.

I think two days a week would probably be more manageable, and even if you could only kick out one page during those days, I think having two now and then would be an even better bonus. :thumb:

I also feel that your proposed schedule would be just as good if not better. As for other comments, I'm afraid I'm not the best at commenting on short parts of a story. Some comments that I might have made I will not because of your disclaimer regarding this chapter.

Wow. Somehow I missed this thread. Your webmanga is great! Whatever schedule suits you is probably best.

^^ I just read this a few days ago. It's sooooo cute! :lol: I was literally laughing out loud at some of the misunderstandings. The characters play off of each other very well.

BTW, I like the t-shirt in the last panel. It's cool.

Hey, Gypsy, I finally got around to checking this out, and I'm really impressed. This is great stuff, and I'm intrigued by the story. Good character dev, too! :thumb:

And hey, when you do make a wallpaper, could you somehow adapt one to be widescreen? My monitor back home is widescreen (can't remember the resolution), and I would love to have a wallpaper for that monitor with this webmanga. That wouldn't be too much trouble, right? :sweat:

Keep up the good work! :)

Do you remember the aspect ratio? At least that way it would stretch symmetrically if it has to be.

some widescreen aspect ratios are 1280x800

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

"Original" is better than "interesting," and not quite so shocked as "Who on earth mixes OJ and orange soda?" That would have an odd texture, if you think about it. Pulpy and carbonated.

Anyway, twice a week works for me.

I can't remember right now (still away from my comp). But I think that what glitch said is right. Once I get back to my apartment, I'll check it out.

This is trivial, but I have a question. On page 37, what is the volume to the right of the Final Fantasy Tactics guide? Or is it just something that is intentionally eclipsed by her hand?
