		<description>Yeah, sorry 'bout that, Steph. I didn't want to interrupt your honeymoon with Retirement Death Kitties (oh man, that's so gonna be the name of my next comic).

I think we're gonna order the rest of our brewing equipment this weekend.

And yes, don't worry, I'll fill you in on what happens next. You get to know everything, 'cause you're special.

Full disclosure: Steph is my little sister and the official proofreader for all of my creative projects. Other than me, no one knows the Tee-mab story better than she does. She gets special treatment. I'm sure you all understand.</description>

		<description>Awww man... To me, this kind of feels like a kitty dying.  It's really really sad, but you know there will be other kitties someday, and there are more important things in life than kitties... But... Kitty... :*(

This was slightly shocking to me.  Not because I didn't see it coming, but because you didn't tell me!  I figured this was going to happen sometime this year, but I didn't think I would find out via Twitter.  We got back from the honeymoon last night, and I was slowly catching up with all my online things when I came across the Twitter.  It was like finding out about a kitty death from an away message. *sigh*
  
I've definitely got mixed feelings about this.  I love Tee-mab, and you've gotten really really good at it.  Most of your improvements recently have been in the artwork side of the comic, so taking up painting sounds like an awesome idea to me.  The story was getting REALLY interesting, so next time I see you, you'd better freakin' tell me everything because I'm your sister, biotch.  So, I'm really sad to see the comic go, because it was getting BALLZ awesome.

On the other hand, I'm hoping this means I get to see more of my big brother and his charming girlfriend :)  And now you can start homebrewing sooner!  Homebrewing is definitely a hobby that you and Melissa will find very rewarding.  And Tim and I will feel smart when you come to us with questions!

Anyway, to sum up, I support your decision.  It makes me a little sad, but also very happy that you'll have your life back.  That being said, we need to hang out soon, because Savor is still 3 1/2 weeks away, and I miss you and Mel!</description>

		<description>Bobby (and everyone else),

If anyone would like to know some of what happens later in the story (not everything, but some of it), email me. I'll tell you as much as I'm willing.</description>

		<description>Wow, Fruedian slip.

Edit:

Thanks for the COMICS, and especially the lightsaber ones.  Those COMICS were made of pure epic.  None of this diluted epic stuff you see on the supermarket shelves these days.</description>

		<description>Now THIS is ironic.  I logged on today for the first time in a couple months, because my webcomic load have become so great that I read a group of them in shifts - 20 or so for a few months, switch with another group.  I saw there was something exploding and a lot of text, but I didn't read it and spoil the surprise, because things are often exploding in tmabb.

So, I just put up a few comments on recent strips, including the last one which was about how I thought the strip would end.  I was actually kinda close.

So, it's sad for me, but it was a fun read while it lasted.  I just find it a bit ironic that I was waiting for the surprise of the explosion and words - finding out it wasn't a very happy surprise.

Nevertheless, I wish you all the best in any and all future endeavors.  W

Oh, and will any plots be resolved in the future?  I don't mean comic-wise necessarily, but just a little info?  Because not only did this end in the middle of a plot arc, but right after there was lightning and stuff, and we don't know if Eugene was split into two or what and what about the world with lego guys and this is a run-on sentence isn't it?

Anyway, thanks for the comments, and especially the lightsaber battle ones.  Epic win.</description>

		<description>Have you been reading "How to Make Comics" by Jim Davis?

Just kidding.

Actually, I tend to agree that profit is always an important part of art.  It always has been.  As long as the end goal is not simply the acquisition of wealth to the point that the art itself devolves into a mindless repetition of hackneyed themes, there's nothing wrong with trying to make a living off your work.

I've always despised those pedantic arguments that money ruins art, like when as soon as a band has a little success and achieves even some minute level of mainstream exposure, people start accusing them of having "sold out".  Heaven forbid a person be able to do something they love AND make a living doing it.</description>

		<description>From a business perspective, considering the satuation of the market, to enter into the webcomic arena expecting to make a profit is foolhardy unless you have a unique and solid plan of action for deliberate execution... success in ANY kind of market under those circumstances (except webcomics apparently) would be dismissed as a bad investment. To make money you have to know HOW to make money, and have a product that can sell.

This is why the corperate suits and the creative department so often disagree... one is about the money, the other is about the work. They don't live in the same house very often.

In any case, good luck for the future! I hope you find that success you're searching for.</description>

		<description>I disagree. Profit should &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; be your primary concern. The more money you can make off of your comic, the less reliant you'll be on your day job, the fewer day job hours you'll have to work, the more time you'll be able to spend making your comic perfect, the more money you'll be able to make off of your comic, ad infinitum.</description>
