Hiatus

We here at the old Yew and Me are going to be taking a bit of a break from making comics, as both of us are way too busy to comprehend, but do not fret! we will return, bigger and better than ever! It's also entirely possible we will toss in a comic or two if we have the time, but come summer, we will be back on our once a week schedule.

Over and out.

An apology

As you may have noticed, there is in fact, no comic this week. An unfortunate event as this is, do not lament! there should with all hope be something for next week. The fact is that I am in Maine, with Ash soon to join me, as we are playing a show at Andy's Old Port Pub. So if you're in the Portland area, you should come out and see us! If not we should be delivering you a fine piece of comedic literature soon enough.

A note from the artist

I too, apologize for the rampant lateness of the comic, I am, as Ash said already- quite busy. I'm currently working on a piece for a show that our friend Kohl is putting together, entitled "And the moral of the story is..." and being myself, I decided to wait until crunch time to finish things up. I will most definitely post the piece when I am done with it, if only to prove to you my extracurricular endeavors.

That being said there were a few things that I wanted to say about this weeks comic.

The first of which is that I hate the scanners in our library a great deal. I had initially planned for this weeks comic to be done in pencil, with some lovely shading, subtle nuances, soft tones, and other things that make you feel warm and fuzzy on your tender bits.

BUT ALAS! The great gods of scanning were not with us this night!

So instead I present to you a slightly different style of comic, I used India ink and a bamboo pen, and *drumroll* I colored it! but you would never know that from looking at it because once again...the scanners hate me, and do not scan in color.

I do hope you enjoy this weeks comic, however, because despite the devilry that is modern technology, i did enjoy making it. Ink has always held a special place in the shard of flint that I pass off as a heart, and I hope you enjoy its archaic simplicity as much as I do.

Over and out,
Moss

I know I know

Yes, the comic is a little late this week. We've both been really busy. Moss has been especially busy and being as he draws the comic his busi-ness tends to be our major drawback.

You'll notice that the style is new...again...

The pitch black of the ink splattered across the page brings me back to a simpler time. It reminds me of the ol' asylum. Boy, do I ever miss the Rorschach tests...

But as stated before, we are ever so busy right now. Natural Wood (our band) is going to be playing a gig up in Portland, ME. And that is "Maine" not "Me." So we've been pulling together set lists and practicing while struggling through midterms week.

So once again, I beg you for your forgiveness.
