MTMag said on 3/15/2010 10:52:58 AM Just today decided to reread some old comics and saw there were some new ones :) good to see you have too much work to do than too little, I for one will always read what you put up for public consumption wheneber you find the time. Cheers

3vol said on 3/3/2010 8:45:29 AM Sorry guys but I've been meaning to draw the final comic for a while but I can't even find the time or motivation to do that. I just don't have time for two comic series, and I probably don't even have time for one. Believe me, it sucks, as like 100+ people still come here every day. I just have too much going on in Standup.

Menkheperre said on 2/24/2010 9:12:46 PM How are things going 3vol?

Shadow Rouge said on 2/1/2010 6:12:47 PM Never really got into that comic.... I'm still waiting for a comic with Mimi!

3vol said on 1/25/2010 1:18:36 AM New Mal's Open Mic is up... It's not the best, I'm out of practice :)

Bors said on 1/19/2010 7:17:25 AM Agh... *doesn't stop me from enjoying your comic!

Bors said on 1/19/2010 7:16:40 AM Only takes me a few seconds a day to check in, so I'll be keeping an eye out for updates. I haven't played CoH for nearly a year, but that doesn'

Seph said on 1/12/2010 10:22:53 AM I check up pretty regular too :)

Shadow Rouge said on 1/11/2010 9:54:23 PM I'll be waiting. I still check it like every morning just in case *wink*

3vol said on 1/10/2010 11:34:37 PM I WILL be drawing comics again. I seriously was going to start up Mal's Open Mic again tonight but just didn't get the time. Soon... Those who really like my comics, just wait..

jberting said on 1/10/2010 11:17:07 PM hey man, thats cool. Go where ever the creative juce is taking you.

3vol said on 1/7/2010 2:35:38 AM Still very focused on standup. When you're an artist and something starts to go as well as this does it completely consumes your free time.

Bors said on 1/5/2010 1:21:43 PM New Year, 3vol. How's that creativity and energy coming along?

Menkheperre said on 12/31/2009 5:42:30 AM Happy New Year to everyone!

Menkheperre said on 12/8/2009 10:05:43 PM Looking forward to it 3vol.

Bors said on 12/7/2009 7:15:22 AM I agree with what 'jberting' said exactly.

jberting said on 12/7/2009 5:14:03 AM hey man. I'm new at commenting here, but I've been following your work for a while now (sounds creepy when I put it like that), and all I have to say is that I enjoy your work. It's fine if you take a while, because I know that when you come back your gonna make a quality product. So I know that personaly, I'm fine with waiting. Take as much time as you need. Everyone needs to relax from time to time :)

3vol said on 12/6/2009 11:38:30 PM Another update. I really intended to start drawing again by now. I don't really know how to explain it but being on the road for 9 weekends straight has destroyed me, both creatively and energetically. I now just DIE for time to relax and play some video games which I rarely get. Next weekend is my last gig until February, so I expect some comics will return. I am starting that flash animation series but that won't take up much of my time and has been written for years. See those of you who stuck around in a couple weeks. I appreciate your readership.

HardLeeNewYee said on 11/26/2009 4:34:30 AM I didnt expect CoZ to be back for long, im just glad you tried again. Take care

The Krumpis! said on 11/26/2009 4:23:15 AM Glad to see you back, keep up the hilarious work.

3vol said on 11/25/2009 3:44:04 PM RandomDude clearly has no idea what it's like to be someone that actually produces something instead of just consuming. Also, the comics are going to be starting up again, don't worry. I have a lot of free time in December.

Bors said on 11/25/2009 10:29:44 AM I just happened visit today... I come here from time to time to relive the old storylines, and I see there are NEW comics? Now you've stopped again? C'mon, 3vol - keep it going!

RandomDude said on 11/24/2009 5:09:50 PM I know you've got a busy life, but I'm disappointed. Next time don't start something unless you know you can continue it. You just get people's hopes up for nothing. *delete from bookmarks* Good luck in the future.

Blacklock said on 11/17/2009 10:32:58 PM BTW, I don't know if the TV show `No Heroics` has made it to N. America, but it started a few weeks ago in Australia and provides an acceptable substitute to CoZ for those with a yen for super-hero related humour. The main characters are not citz, but Z-grade heroes.Give it a look if you can.

Blacklock said on 11/17/2009 10:27:41 PM Like Menkheperre said, we're glad to see you back, but don't stress if you can't get a new strip done regularly. (I am glad to hear you're okay though - I was getting worried you were sick or something)

Menkheperre said on 11/16/2009 10:25:45 PM You don't have to update every week, just when you can. We're just glad to see you back!

3vol said on 11/16/2009 10:00:05 AM You guys all deserve an explanation. I'm really sorry I started doing this then stopped, but I am just stretched unbeliviably thin in my life and something had to give. I thought restarting CoZ would give me the passion again but it obviously did not work. I had lots of great ideas for this return but I don't know if it's going to happen anymore. This is my last weekend of shows this week and then we'll see what happens after that. No more false promises.

Seph said on 11/6/2009 12:09:45 AM Don't worry about it and just update them when you have the time. :)

3vol said on 11/2/2009 10:20:32 AM Ugh I didn't get back into town until midnight last night, and my girlfriend is expecting pretty much my entire night tonight. We'll see what time she leaves, but I doubt it. I will try to update CoZ and Mal's tomorrow night if I can't...

Shadow Rouge said on 11/1/2009 7:34:34 PM So are we getting a new comic tomorrow??

Menkheperre said on 10/28/2009 11:29:06 PM Hey, you've got to earn a living!

3vol said on 10/28/2009 11:12:39 AM Damnit, no way do I have time this week now to update either series. I'm really down about this but nothing can be done. I seriously don't get a minute to myself until midnight or 1AM and the last thing I want to do is stay up until 2 or 3 drawing... Sorry if anyone is dissapointed..

3vol said on 10/27/2009 8:02:51 AM Sorry been crazy busy. Weekend of shows last weekend 8.5 hours away, a show tonight 2.5 hours away, and then am in the neighboring city for Thurs-Sun this week. Sorry.

Shadow Rouge said on 10/27/2009 7:53:53 AM So been waiting for the next comic.... /waiting `checks watch` where is it!

3vol said on 10/25/2009 10:20:30 PM Sorry for no comic. Just got back from an 8.5 hour drive home and am exhausted. Wednesday night or afternoon.

Seph said on 10/21/2009 4:21:45 PM Great ideas :)

Shadow Rouge said on 10/19/2009 9:07:22 AM I so love that your back Derek! and very funny!

Menkheperre said on 10/18/2009 11:20:19 PM Welcome back. I'll spread the word in our SG that you're back!
