Black and Wh-at the hell

Update: Comic is now colored. Thank goodness for sleeping babies!

Why is today’s comic in grayscale? Because I’m actually in a hospital room right now with my wife and brand new baby daughter. Born at 9:09 pm last night after 30 hours of labor. It was a wicked, wild ride.

Anyway, I brought all my comic stuff to the hospital, and while I could technically color the strips, they’re taking a lot longer than usual to make just because a lot of my time is spent on being a new parent. So I figure I’d cut one of my major time sinks for now, since I can always go back and color the strips retroactively. We plan to be home by Wednesday, I can’t say if Thursday’s comic will also be chromatically deficient, but I can say that it’s a temporary condition at best. We’ll be back to full-color action soon enough, with these comics colored when I have the time.

At least I didn’t just not update like a chump sucka. Am I right?

    Awesome spawning mechanic.
    Did you go for the collector’s edition?

    I think certain things qualify as a good reason not to update. Getting your wife pregnant is not one. Being there the moment your wife stops being pregnant is. Congratulations.
    Maybe I’m alone, but I think I’d prefer a longer wait and some color. Though, maybe I’d be complaining the other way if that’s what you did originally. Who can tell.

    Babies!

    Absolutely a good reason! Congratulations. Oh, and you are totally extra bad-ass for not skipping the update completely.

    Really impressed at both your dedication to your family and to the comic; you’re really taking care of us!

    You should leave this one black and white then in a few years have the newborn child, who would be less newborn by then, color it in. FAMILY FUN!

    Your dedication is amazing. Showering was about as much as I could manage for the first two weeks after my son popped (after MUCH difficulty) into the world.

    We are NOT worthy!
