Apparently, Mel Gibson will be starring in a new movie called, Beaver. The story focuses on a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a hand puppet, in this case, a beaver puppet. The movie is set to be directed by Jodie Foster.

Well, I guess there goes my hope of ever seeing a Charly & Company feature film on the big screen.

Sorry for the long delay and lack of posts. I’ve been away for a long time, but I’m coming back to the strip soon. I’m looking to have new material up this Monday with regular updates continuing after. So, if any of my original fans are still out there, I hope you’ll stop by now and then to check the site out.

In case you haven’t heard the news, the great Tom Racine from Tall Tale Features Radio and I sat down for a chat a few weeks back. The lovely Barb Jacobs (and her barking dog) joined in the fun. It was my first interview, and I’m terrified to listen to it. But you can – right here.

On another note, I realize that I haven’t been updating the comics. I’m saddened by this, but what can I say. I got a freelance gig that’s taking up almost all of my free time, and the company I’m working for just asked if I’d accept more work. So, I guess I’m going to have to go on a hiatus for awhile, much as I hate to do it. I’ll still be popping over to blog at TTF as long as they’ll have me. And I’m not closing the book on Charly altogether. I do plan to pick it up again at some point.

So, lemee just say thanks to everyone who was a fan. This isn’t goodbye, but rather, I’ll see you again.

Just a quick note to let you all know I’m still here and will have a new strip up soon.

I have the honor of being interviewed this Wednesday by Tall Tale’s venerable Tom Racine. If anyone has any questions they’d like me to answer on the podcast, shoot them my way and we’ll talk about it.

I hate to admit it, but I’ve been going through some very rough economic times, so much so that I have to take on a part-time job. Combined with my full-time job, I’m going to have much less time for drawing. So, I’m still planning on updating the comic, but it’s going to have to take a back seat to everything else.

The plan right now is still for 3 days a week, but that may change.

Sorry about this, folks, but the bank account needs a little lovin’.

I apologize for all these late updates. I’ll hopefully be getting back on track soon.

Sorry gang, but Friday’s comic will be up late.

If you haven’t been to the Tall Tale Features site in awhile, you should check it out. They’re undergoing a complete overhaul of the site, and so far, it looks fantastic. There are still a few tweaks to be done, but all-in-all it’s a great design.

I think Mike Witmer did the majority of the work, so stop by and tell him how cool it is.

I’m contemplating whether now is the right time to release a C&C collection or not. So, I’ve put up a poll to gauge reader interest. Tell me what you think.
