10 years ago today I decided to start a webcomic loosely based on one of my favorite things: D&D. After a much needed sabbatical, I have come to the following conclusion:
MeatShield will continue!
I’ll be changing things up a bit, though. For example, I’m exploring the opportunities presented by a new format, which you can see in today’s strip. More changes will be phased in over the coming year.
Thank you to each and every one of you. To paraphrase Quark of DS9: “Good readers are more precious than gold-pressed latinum; cherish them.â€
Onward to Year ELEVEN!
Take care,
~Rob


We knew you would be back. You just needed a cookie and a nap.
As the noted Bard, John Sebastian, sang,
Welcome back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back!
Oooh, there’s a pleasant surprise!
I’m glad to hear it. I’m looking forward to what you have in store for us.
We’ve missed you.
Welcome back, You have bin missed!
Nice to see the comic has survived the sabbatical. Welcome back!
Welcome back. I look forward to the stories you wish to bring to life. Will it be fantacy-mancy? Tale-o-mancy? Tall Tale-o-mancy? or some other such wordsmithing? All of this combined with pictomancy is some really powerful stuff. Now weaver of words and forger of worlds, what wonders will you create to mystify minds and enthrall your audience? We eagerly await the trials and tribulations of UNAC 47.
♪Home Ad… oh, wait, wrong sheet. *switches sheets*
Ah, here we are. ♪Hallelujah♫
Welcome back, and wow, things are starting to heat up a bit here. I wonder if Sims was, ah… “Moonlighting” with the now Widow Oldridge?
Welcome back!
Welcome Back !!
Glad to hear it, I love this comic.
Good to have the gang back.
Of course things will change. That’s why Bill Watterson stopped doing Calvin & Hobbes, because the alternative was to stifle his creativity (the way that Jim Davis has). Do what it takes to keep your creative juices flowing!
Welcome back, and happy anniversary!
So, Widow Oldridge, ummm…
Is that your statement, written in your late husband’s blood on the carpet from his home study, that Sergeant Sims is taking?
It’s nice to know Sims didn’t add lying to the officer behind the desk to the list of things to arrest him for…
I sense a failed Fast Talk roll on the part of Mrs. Oldridge. ^_^
Very happy to have you back. Take your time with the new pages. I’m just glad this didn’t go the route of Jefbot or Johnny Saturn. I am glad to have you back at it.
Um, Rob…little worried after another silent month+…is MeatShield going to continue continuing?
I am hoping that everything is ok Rob. Getting worried about you with your lack of communication. I think I speak for all your fans when I say we miss you!
