Help SKOOKUM.....

There is a time when a plea for help comes,
When one's all out of bread save for the crumbs.
Perhaps it is the fault of one's own,
that's why at some point we all moan.
But there always forces greater than us,
and bend to them, we must.

It started out all fun and well,
It was the manga where happy thoughts dwell.
Creating it was the best thing yet,
just that the expectations that came were never quite met.
There was a sore lack of readers, for one,
and at some point that really killed the fun.

I worked hard over time, over stone and sea,
I worked on hard even when I'm busy.
I'm glad when readers write to say,
that my manga really made their day.
Still, in the web-comic world, that's isn't quite enough,
and the reader-counter doesn't quite bluff.

I have found myself something even more involving,
it keeps me up and it's more invigorating.
I love SKOOKUM with all my heart,
it is something I am always a part.
Still the painful fact remains -
there aren't enough readers for my effort to sustain.

Perhaps, once I sorted things out a bit,
the bulb of inspiration will once again be lit.
SKOOKUM will soon return,
may all those who doubt this burn!
Let's hope that the manga will inspire a greater spark,
and not another mediocre web-comic of a monkey's fuck.
Till then, I extend my sincere thanks,
for those who held out for me and not abandon their ranks.
I'd be back soon, wait and see.
And you can trust this 'cause it came from me.
