In which Grambo encounters a kind of line

Implied frame 1: Grambo approaches a line and muses aloud, "I wonder what kind of line this is." Implied frame 2: Grambo very apprehensively steps one foot over the line, grimacing.

A sign of life

Illustration: Grambo sits in the bare branches of a gnarled and leafless tree that grows on the edge of a cliff. Caption: Sometimes, when you don't hear from me, it's not because things are going bad. / I mean, things are still not great. But that's not why.

I haven't forgotten about you, dear readers, and I haven't given up on making comics. As you surely know if you've read more than a handful of my posts, I am permanently Going Through Some Stuff. It's several things, each one both variable and unpredictable, but for most of this year they have been severe and unremitting enough that my decades of acquired coping skills have been strained almost to breaking. Mere survival is often all I can do. And the prize for surviving is more struggle, holding on and and waiting for more favorable conditions in which I could grow again. It could happen. I'm not ruling it out.
Anyway. I am still here and I hope that you will stick around too.
And good riddance to 2024.

Sondage

Grambo stands at the bottom of a body of water deep enough to be quite dark. A fish swims by overhead and a pale crab looks up at Grambo. Grambo thinks, "This puddle might be too deep." The crab thinks, "This puddle might not be deep enough."

Old style

Grambo, sitting in a puddle, recounts an important tale to a small child, also sitting in a puddle and holding a toy that appears to be a potted branching cactus and the pot has the legs and tail of a Tyrannosaurid dinosaur. And so anyway Grambo says, "So I made a humorous reference to wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time..." The child experiences puzzlement. The end!

Mind changing

Top caption: The thrilling conclusion to "I have to get out of here", panel 1 of 4: / The panel shows the shovel-user, still sitting on the log, projects outward calm while saying, "I think—and I am furious about this—you are right." Bottom caption: See the rest on ko-fi.com/CrustaceanSingles .

I've just added one more four-panel entry to "I have to get out of here" to the yesterday's megapost on ko-fi.com/CrustaceanSingles. Here's the first of the four final panels, which I hope will interest you enough to follow a linkto a second location.

Catching up on getting out of here

Image of a shovel with the title "I have to get out of here".

For the dozen of you who were following the "I have to get out of here" story, this post starts at the beginning and catches up on the story I didn't post from 2024-06-19 to -23. Then there are several words I wrote about it all.
