Notice of Break
My Grandmother passed away this morning and I’m going to attend the funeral services. As they are in another state, this involves some preparation and traveling time so I’m delaying the comic for a short while.
If you’d like to be notified of the next new comic as soon as it is posted, please subscribe to the updates:
If you haven’t read it yet, I talk about my Grandmother on the More About Samantha page. She was so proud of my little comic.

You have my most heartfelt condolences during this time. I wish you good travel weather both going and coming and the strength to go through this period of grief. May God’s love be showered upon your family.
Thanks everyone. I liked coming here and seeing nice messages.
I intend to do strips to post on the missed days so we will still have the full calendar of strips for May.
I can relate, my great grandma is in the ICU in the hospital and for a bit we thought she would die…
Travel safe and all that!
I am so saddened to read this. I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Safe travels to you and don’t worry about the strip.
So very sorry, Samantha. Enjoy your time with your loved ones, and all of your fans will be here for you when you return.
You have the blessings of Scapula, if one such as Scapula can give blessings!
Thanks everyone (LOL at you DadaHyena! Scapula’s good wishes are welcome even if they’re no effective.)
It looks like I won’t be traveling right away. The service is tomorrow and there’s no way I can make it. Grandmother chose to be cremated, so I will go with the family when her ashes are scattered.
I’ll give myself this weekend off and get back to work on Monday. It’s conceivable that I’ll only miss one update.
I grieve with thee…. and yes, I *mean* that. I wasn’t at my maternal grandmother’s funeral either (up in PA), but I do have something to remember her by: an afghan she made for me. I know you’re hurting; just don’t forget to re-hydrate yourself after the tears stop. *hugs*
This goes to your family as well.
I guess you could call that a mixed blessing, not driving that far, but having to wait for the dispersal of her ashes. That I can say I know quite well.
Samantha and family, again my prayers are going out for you all to have the strength to deal with this situation, but just remember that you are all loved. God bless you all.
This is sad. My grandmother died recently, it’s never easy. Don’t feel rushed into making the next comic! You take the time you need!
Thank you very much everyone.
Stanislav and Nikki, Welcome to Life’s a Witch! I’m glad you left me a note today.
Nikki: I’m so sorry about the recent loss of your grandmother. Pretty soon, we’ll stop being so sad and remember how lucky we were to have them in our lives. *hug*
Moonpuppy: We’ll all hope your grandmother pulls through and you have many more years with her! *hugs* to you too.
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. The last thing you should have to worry about right now is comic related worries, so take your time and be with your family. I’ll be praying for you!
Thank you, Nessa and Meggyc!
I was actually going to get back to work today, but I’m having a hard time staying focused. I’m glad I gave myself a week off! Thank you all for sticking with me.
I was just up in Bonham, TX last week for my grandmother’s service, myself. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Grandmothers are lovely. I’m sure you’ll miss yours, as much as I miss mine.
My father, who is a preacher, conducted her service, and I think he put it best when he said that we are privileged to celebrate the death of such a one, as she just got to go home, and we’ll see her again, someday.
I hope things go well for you, and my prayers for you.
Oh, Jeremy. Thank you for your sympathy and condolences. I am sending some back for you as well. I think it’s beautiful that your father officiated at your Grandmother’s services.
well, now I can relate even better, unfortunately. My grandma passed away on monday and the funeral is on saturday. Oh well, the way I see it is this: she was going to be stuck in the hospital till she died anyway, and she decided not to go on life support since she knew it would happen soon anyway. So it’s better to die before your in to much pain, right?
Thank you, Bec.
Moonpuppy: My deepest condolences to you and your family. I agree that it is sometimes a blessing to go quickly. *hugs*
My deepest concolences Sam. MY grandmother died a week before I graduated High School, she was supposed to come visit me too. :’( I’ll pray for you and your loved ones during this hard time. *hugs*
Take care, safe travels, and my condolences.
