    Telling the truth is the worst. Especially because I've been failing at keeping my word. I can't even begin to kickstart the 8 ball series from where it is as of right now. It's not that I don't want to, it's because I legitimately can't. I'm not going to keep you waiting for something that can't make its way out to the public. Here is a list of 8 trillion excuses:

    Creation issues:
    *I put a fair amount of detail into background art. I don't want ugly scenes. This habit of perfecting the setting takes up time. Think of my current signature. Making that fall background took nearly 2 hours. Now imagine that on every singe panel on every page for 40 pages.

    *I didn't create character models so the skin tones, hair colors, etc. always fluctuates ever so slightly much to my own annoyance.

    *Proportions are off. Fitting characters into boxes just the way I want them is a challenge. The proportions may vary, which also annoys me.

    *I like to make things that appear painted or paper-cutout as opposed the the typical cartoon which has outlines. This brought tremendous issues when characters of similar skin tone are overlapping and they almost appear morphed together.

    *I couldn't stand putting MineCraft characters into such a non MineCraft story. Aside from that, I don't like making square eyes square heads and square pupils because it gets far too repetitive and irritates me for that very reason.

    *No "racial diversity" is present with any skins on BC. Literally anybody who has a human skin is white. This irritates me simply because I've always been big on racially diverse characters.

    *I am terrible at the creation of dialogue. It made the characters seem like they are trying to sound smart but epically failed at doing so.


    Social issues:
    *Creation of such a large comic is very time consuming. As I am banned from the computer Mon-Thu; that gives me only my weekend, which I would prefer being with friends or just playing games or whatever.

    *I really don't need my glasses prescription to be any higher than it already is because I'm staring at a computer screen for long hours.

    *My homework levels have evolved into a very vicious burden.

    I'm really sorry about this because I personally think it's a really good story, but until I manage to fix all these issues, it's probably a better story for later.

    I already dropped "Where's the jam"
    This won't inspire me to drop "Time Trackers"

    To anyone who actually likes my comics, I am in the process of fixing my scanner, I need a couple more days to make it work again. Thanks for being patient. #SelfPromotionOnSomeoneElsesThread

    Well, is it good that you tell us the reason(s) why the comics have been delayed, and such, because then we are able to understand why, and so, it is probably easier to accept it, instead of not telling us why, and people would ask you why, how, when, and so on, and get irritated, or mad.

    It is also not good to stress, and think "I GOTTA GET THIS DONE!!!", as I have tried several times, because in the end, it would just make your health worse, and such.
