Dear faithful comic readers,

I regret to inform you that I’ll indefinitely be resigning my post here.  Due to lots of things, I can’t draw the comic anymore.  It has been fun.  Thanks for playing :)

-Artista

On a similar note, some people have forgotten how to use cell phones.

Artista

That’s right folks, we’re not dead yet. Not at all. Life and her own artistic endeavors have taken away the Time that Artista requires to draw for here, but stick with us. We’ll get something up soon.

Phoenix out.

Stay tuned.

-P

*EDIT*

Apologies from the artist, it’s gonna be a crazy couple weeks irl guyz.  By now I’m sure you all know about my show, but as things will be slowing down in life next week while it’s all set up, I’ll try to get a comic drawn next week sometime.  Thanks for your patience everyone!  <3<3

Well, here we are. It’s been a whole year. More than that, in fact, as our official one year mark was last week. So, sorry about the late comic in both that regard, and also in the sense that this is Tuesday. Oh well. I think I’ll survive. Will you?

Wow. One year. A year of doing this. Granted, we haven’t pumped out a new comic every week, but still. It’s more work than you’d think. And I have the easy part! Artista does all the work. She even goes so far as to make strips visually funny when my writing more or less sucks, which is more often than I’d like, but c’est la vie. I think my writing has improved over the past year, and Artista’s art has gone from wonderful to +1 enchanted wonderful or something. Point is, she’s talented, and if you agree with me, leave a comment here for her, or check out her art blog things. I’d also like to send shout outs to Wednesday and Switzerland, who are here to step in when I fail in the bloggering. Switz was kind enough to toss up some filler words yesterday while we were waiting for our anniversarial comic. In the realm of filling in, sometimes both Artista and I have, you know, lives (OR NOT LOL), and fail to get something written or drawn each week. That’s where Cassie has tended to step in. She likes to send me her doodles and whatnot, so of course I slap them up on my website and take all the credit for them. Just kidding. I only take half.

We’ve come a long way. The site is looking cleaner and better than ever. I’m really happy with our current layout and design. However, we’re not entirely where we wanted to be a year in (no shirts, no domain, no money), but that’s really okay. We decided long ago that we would write, draw, produce, and support a Roget’s House of Mystery comic for as long as it remained fun for us, and no longer. The fact that our ADD-addled minds have stuck with this for a full year is remarkable, in my opinion.

So, here’s to another year for both the fictional and actual gangs from the House that would be called Roget’s.

May the Force be with you.

PS Remember, the early bard gets the wyrm.

Haha, I’m sneaking in here too before Phoenix has a chance to post a proper blog. *feels sneaky* Everybody come see my show the first week of May! More info at my blog linked up top :D (Shameless, I know.)

PS: Photoshop, though it slows down poor Vera, is truly awesome.

Well, thanks for ruining the surprise, Switz. LOLJKTHX for stalling for us. While we wait for the big birthday celebration, here’s a picture of Aquaman having tea with a shark, courtesy of Cassie. Fantabulous.

EDIT: html fixed

the one year anniversary is upon us, and clearly we weren’t really ready for it here at RHoM. We’re working on getting the comic up ASAP (and by we, i mean Artista and Phoenix). i guess what i’ve done to help is scribble a possible T-Shirt design during my Physics class (and that one is unfinished, much like my Physics Homework).

Still stalling here…

ps. this is my first post, and i fail to see a time in the future when i’ll be allowed to do this again. gnite!

No blog this week, due to incredibly limited internet access at the moment. I promise we’ll get something big for next week, both in the comic and blog realms. Ta ta for now.

You couldn’t drive a wheelchair,

PS I am so excited to play D&D this summer.

Apologies for the late comic this week. I was having internet issues earlier, and not only a busy day but quite a long weekend, and I am TIRED. So here we go.

This weekend I was a rangemaster for the third annual Women’s Shooting Sports Weekend. It was a blast, as usual, and all the ladies had fun too. I was the tomahawk instructor again, so there are now eighty more women in the San Francisco bay area who can not only throw axes, but kitchen knives, scissors, and screwdrivers. Watch out, men. For the rest of you ladies out there, we do this shindig every year, so shoot me an email or leave a comment here if you’re interesting interested in learning proficient and safe operation of all kinds of firearms next spring.

That’s about it for today. I’m pretty freakin’ tired. See you all next week, or I will see you on another time.

That is very confusing.

Phoenix

PS Oh, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, how I love thee.
