This is something that has been coming for a while but I didn't want to cause a panic.
Here is the note from Bumble:
Here is the note from Bumble:
So...Mondays will be opening up in August. I'd like to have something ready to go well before that. If interested let me know.Howdy sir
First off, don't worry, nothing crazy will be happening for a while.
I just wanted to give you ample warning of my plans.
I never planned to do Alfie for very long, it kind of just happened. That's not to say I don't enjoy doing the comic, I love Alfie! I just never banked on him being something I'd stick with for a long while.
That being said, I have been thinking of how to end the series for a while now, simply because I wanted it to do just that-- end.
I was mapping out the dates, and for a while I was thinking of ending on the 50th strip. However, for the sake of simplicity, I shall end it on the last Monday of July.
August 1st shall be the first Monday in about a year that Alfie will not update.
The reason I am telling you this is two-fold.
1) I cannot thank you enough for giving me a place to host my comic, and to let me just do my thing.
I know Alfie may not have been exactly what everyone was expecting, but it was what I felt like doing at the time, and for allowing me to do so, I thank you.
2) You deserve so much more than just a two-weeks notice
I don't know if you'll be able to find a replacement for Mondays, or what will happen there..
I may come up with a new idea I want to put in that time-slot, but for now, I'll probably be focusing on other things. Like I said though, it's a long ways away, and I never know when inspiration may strike.
There is really only one definite in all this;
Alfie will run it's final strip on July 25, 2011.
Though, I won't be going anywhere, so don't you fret
Thanks Dave, you truly helped me give myself the push that I needed to get my creative juices flowing.
