Hey, hi! I suppose an explanation is in order.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the last three and a half years, the second chapter of Sucker Street <\/em>has been fully scripted, partially drawn, mostly scrapped and unsuccessfully re<\/em>written. The experience has been quite educational for me and totally opaque to anyone checking out this website. Please accept my apologies for that.<\/p>\n

In 2018, I played around in a different part of the Suckerverse, resulting in the Foldertown Shoppers Guide recently posted here<\/a>. This was printed as a trifold pamphlet and I’ve been selling it at my convention tables ever since. Why didn’t I post it back then? To be perfectly honest, I kind of enjoyed pretending this website didn’t exist for a bit.\u00a0 I appreciate the continued interest \u2014<\/span><\/span> and am grateful for the patience of \u2014<\/span><\/span> those of you who continued to check in.<\/p>\n

So, what now? I’m officially calling the hiatus I should have called years ago. Sucker Street is on break until I can give Chapter Two the rewrite it deserves.<\/strong> This is not the end of the comic. I have so much love and so many ideas for it, but I’m not able to pursue them right now. The story will continue, I just can’t say when.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I’d like to draw your attention to my current project, A is for Ambroseburg<\/em>. It’s an alphabet book written by my old friend Michael Wells and illustrated by me. We had planned to finish it long ago, but my in-progress drawings were damaged in a house fire. They’ve consequently been sitting in a box untouched for over 16 years.<\/p>\n

Yeah, that’s right: if you think Sucker Street<\/em>‘s taking me a long time to finish, you either weren’t aware of A is for <\/em>Ambroseburg<\/em> or forgot that I was working on it. Or you think I’m the sort of person who starts projects and never completes them. That’s fair, but wrong: I just take long breaks.<\/p>\n

I’ll be adding new pages here as I finish them.<\/a> If you like the world of Sucker Street, I think you’ll find something to like in Ambroseburg. Please check it out!<\/p>\n

We’ll meet back here whenever I return to Sucker Street. Or, if not specifically here<\/em>, wherever people are sharing comics in the future. I hope we’re all reunited in Foldertown relatively soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
