Well, it was fun while it lasted. Due to personal reasons I can not and will not discuss here, I will no longer be drawing the weekly /silly comic for WoW Insider. I am thankful to you, the thriving mass of WoW Insider readers, for taking the time to view my strip for the past 11 weeks. To those that commented with support and praise, I offer an even larger helping of the Thank You pie. You are the reason I stayed up those late Monday nights, forcing myself to draw out the twisted images in my head in order to share them with the world. I sought your approval, and I received it in spades.Will there be a future for /silly, after I am gone? That is up to the higher-ups at WoW Insider to decide. If they do replace me and continue on with the series, I hope you all will show the new artist the respect and support that you gave to me. And I hope that the comics will make me laugh as much as mine made you.
As for my future, do not worry. I have more passion for gaming than most people you will ever meet, burning deep within my soul like a warlock DoT that will never expire; like the Light that drives a paladin to battle against overwhelming odds. I will find another way to be a part of the industry that I love, and with a little luck, you will see the name Arturis again.

But we had a long dramatic explanation for every one of them!

Of the 11 comics I posted, only 1 was delayed. The comic for today was to be the 12th comic.

Why are you leaving? Is it for personal reasons that you can discuss here?

I believe the second sentence began "Due to personal reasons I can not and will not discuss here..." so probably not.

Bah - we're losing one of the good ones if you ask me. So many webcomics just fizzle and die - this one had potential to go on indefinitely. It was good, original, simple, and had epic stories to go with each single image. On time or not, I laughed at every one of them. Good luck Arturis!

I, for one, don't care how many were (not) on time. Quality is what counts.

On time or not didn't matter, keeping in the fashion of Blizzard better quality than on time.

It's because they wouldn't give you that Dell XPS isn't it?

I assure you, my passionate desire for an uber gaming laptop played no part in my departure.
Now that I am no longer an employee, however, I will definitely have to enter the contest...
