GU Comics: "By theKid"

I'm sure more than a few of you have been wondering where I am. If you follow the GU page on Facebook, you already have an idea of what's up. If not, please consider following the GU page on Facebook as it's the first place I post status updates, etc. Here's the link: http://facebook.com/GUComics.
Since I haven't done a comic in so long theBoy asked to do one. Who am I to refuse? As far as I understand it, the comic is about our Sunday night D&D group. In the first panel we're "toking" (talking) about D&D. The second panel are the characters we're playing in game. The lion headed guy in the left panel is our pal Scott, the one I draw as just a beard with eyes and a mouth. The little peach colored circle is theBoy. And, the one with the squiggles on his chin is me. I didn't get any more explanation than that. So, I'll leave you to your own devices to decipher it.
So now on to the meat of the situation. Why am I not updating the site? Well, we're moving into a new house. One that we'll be in for a long time (thank goodness) instead of bouncing around every few years. I've done that all my life. My son is six and this will be the 4th house he's lived in. I don't want that for him or the baby. Luckily the house situation is such that, though we don't own it, we're safe from the yearly rent increase. Well, before we move in, some work has to be done to the kitchen. I did that the first and fourth weeks of my absence. I have today off and return tomorrow. The second and third weeks I was in a daily job search, application/resume building class trying to figure out how to get myself back into the workforce. As I've mentioned before, I'm looking to take a real job so that I can make GU a hobby again. This would return it to the way it began when concern about ad revenue and analytics didn't play a part in my comic decision making process.
That being said, the comic will return soon. It has too. I miss it; I miss Ted; and, I miss you guys.

If any of you get a wild hair and want to send in a guest strip, please feel free. It's going to be a couple more weeks before I can make the comic updates reliable again. Templates are linked below.
