A Villainous note from the Artist
Greetings VILLAINS! I really appreciate the patience from you all during our first hiatus ever. The reason for the hiatus is that my father passed away suddenly and it was much more important to be spending that time with family and loved ones. I know you all understand and that any loss in any family deserves its time. While it is difficult to even get going again, we have to. As much as it pains us, life moves on and it keeps moving forward. What this situation has taught me is that at any time, it could be our time and that life is too precious to waste on the little things that don’t really matter in the long run. For this week’s page, I kind of took my anger and aggression out on it. If you think it’s too violent or if it is too much, then why are you even reading this book?? You knew what this was when you started reading it! Again, I thank everyone for their patience at during that time and we promise to keep moving forward and bringing you the final act of VILLAIN. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a villainous week.

No problems with takng time for that. My Dad died while I in the middle of writng puppets scripts for my church’s vacation bible school. It was hard to keep that out. It did help temper having too much joking around for the last skit that was really delivering the message of the story arc. Use what you have and in this case your material is much better suited to letting some of that out than mine was. My condolances to you and yours.
Family matters, we are just a faceless mass…family first, always.
