Here it is folks my 50th page! :D
--------------------------------------------------------------------
@demontales: Heh, yeah she did end up looking a bit psycho but since this seemed more amusing I left it that way.
@Roisin Dubh: Hate will likely be the last one to catch on ;)
@Nicotine: I'd hoped someone would spot that detail! And cheers on that final panel, took a while to get it right :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Update: Right, I'm going to blunt about this - Hate's going on Hiatus. I know, I know, not all that long ago I was doing the whole stop and start thing, so I'll stress that this isn't me abandoning the comic, I will return to it but it could be a while, as long as a year even.
Why? Well, I'm starting an illustration MA and my project is (you guessed it) a graphic novel/comic. In some ways I'm quite surprised they accepted my proposal, but now they have it would be a shame to pass up such a great opportunity to do something more ambitous.
The thing is that I've never been much of a multi tasker, and what I'm planning is going to be quite a challenge. I think there's a Japanese proverb that goes along lines of 'he who chases two hares loses both'. If I try and take on this project while juggling Hate I suspect I'll end up ruining both. Not to mention, my readership isn't exactly exploding at the moment either, though to anyone who was reading and enjoying it - my deepest apologies. For now at least I'm putting 'A Girl Called Hate' on hold. I'd love to keep it going but it just seems like a bad time. A hard choice, especially given that I just hit my 50th page but one which needs to be made.
On a slightly brighter note, my future project 'Branch' will probably start to appear on DD towards the end of the year providing things go to schedule. Expect full colour (yes, I can do colour!), twisty plotting and cyberpunk.
I know this is seriously weak of me, but the longterm payoff I suspect will be worth it. So, thanks for reading folks... and sorry...

Cheers for dropping in Pit Face! :D Unfortunately it looks Hate's gonna be on hold for sometime, but in it's place I am working on my uber-project which should appear on DD sometime in the near future...

Thanks for saying Demontales, have appreciated your support a great deal :) The MA is a Masters Degree, a follow up to university if you will.

It is a time for hiatuses, and you're right to take opportunities as they fall on you. Good luck for your illustration MA, even though I'm not completely sure what it is(language confusion).

Congrats on your "50" milestone!
