This cartoon is going live on Wednesday, November 23, which is the day before Thanksgiving here in the US. I know it's a tad clichéd to talk about what you're thankful for at this time of year, but here goes (I'll make it short, I promise):
- I am thankful for my wife and my children, who have helped me to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
- I am thankful to have a roof over my head, food on my table, unpolluted water to drink, and decent schools for my kids.
- I am thankful for my family and friends, who love me and support me even when they don't necessarily understand what I'm doing. Case in point: My wonderful mother-in-law reads my strip even though D&D humor is definitely not her cup of tea.
- I am thankful for the stress release valve and creative outlet roleplaying games can be. I've needed it, especially after the past year and a half.
- I am thankful for all of you. A cartoonist (or any artist, really) cannot do what they do without an audience. An actor without an audience is just somebody reciting lines on stage to themselves. A writer or cartoonist without a readership is much the same. Thank you for reading and for commenting and just generally being the best readers I could ask for.
That's what I'm thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm taking next week off, so I'll see you all on December 7.
Take care,
~Rob
Whooh, Becky has da muscles!
Which of course makes sense, and she’s both a dwarf and a paladin. Nice work on the drawing there
I am thankful for the story you bring to life through this comic. It’s been fun watching the characters grow over the years.
I am thankful that you have children. The world needs more young people.
I’m thankful for my job and the people who need me.
I’m thankful for my family, especially my wife, whose presence in my life helps me to be a better person.
Most of all, I’m thankful for my God and his Church.
