Anyway, the bottom line is I don't know how long my daughter is going to be in hospital. Thus, I don't know how long it will be until I am able to get back to work, and when I can begin working on getting more comics out in the world. I trust I can count on you for patience and understanding during this terrible personal family tragedy.

One of my daughters has been unexpectedly admitted to Townsville Hospital. I presently have no idea how long she is going to be there. But I am by her side, even though this has thrown other (especially comic - scheduling) matters into disarray. It now seems unlikely I will have Issue #4 of OI OI OI! ready for the planned April 25th (ANZAC Day) release. Other plans that were under way -- or that I had begun negotiating on -- are all going to have to be reorganised at an unknown date. I know this will annoy some and infuriate others. But while it may be even a little frustrating for me, given that I have managed to have my publishing arm in a reasonably good position for its growth in the local comics medium, there are priorities. I have chosen to make Comicoz a one man band, and so I am left with no option except to place Comicoz in temporary hiatus. My family will always come first. (I know Mrs K will be amazed to read that, because she knows the hours I put in each day to Comicoz -- often, I will have to honestly admit and as she will tell you, to the exclusion of time with her!)

Take as long as you need. Comics aren't going anywhere. Thoughts are with you and yours for a speedy recovery.
