Er, hi!

I was originally going to go into a long diatribe here about shifting schedules and stress and any number of reasons why I haven't updated in like, two months, but, honestly, I think I'd rather just apologize for the delay and move on without worrying about the drama.

So, sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience, I hope there's at least a few people still left. I'm hoping to get this back on a normal updating schedule again, although it may need to be bi-weekly for the moment while I get everything completely back in order.

Four pages left in chapter 3!

Voting incentive is a warm-up painting I did last week sometime.

And a quick 'in before zealot walls of text adamantly protecting the absent artist's kindness and selflessness against the ungrateful jerk' responses (scroll down for examples) remember this is Drunk Duck, "The Webcomics Community" not "The Webcomic Online Store." Of course it's free, I have one myself (not on this name) and the creators acknowledge this concept upon getting free webspace and lots of HTML freedom to draw exposure/self-promote their work, and even place paypal donation boxes amongst it. Consider this concept before hurling rage and preaching recycled DCDT (Dead Comic Defense Team) rhetoric in response to my previous post; no hurt was intended unless one chooses to percieve it that way. SK will always get a 5 from me either way, for what she DID share. I just hoped for some correspondence at this point. Ignite!

Well, I at least hope SK is alright and nothing bad has happened to her; I'd feel pretty terrible deleting this bookmark. If not, thanks for sharing part of the story, it was amazing; I guess after 4 months without a response from her is a bummer. Don't mistake me for being selfish, I acknowledge that this was all done without pay and lots of time was invested in a free comic, but we invested just as much time supporting it each step of the way. GL in your endeavors if you ever check this, you're an exceptional, gifted artist.

Since it's been about a month since my last post, I just wanna say that I'm still waiting for your next update.
I say this, not in an impatient way, but in a more "I'll be here when you get back" sort of way.
Just wanted to let you know that your fans haven't deserted you, and it would still be worthwhile to return. =)

I love your comic, the art,the story, everything. I hope you get to move on to greater things as your art is wonderful. This is probably the best comic I've ever seen on the net.

It's to bad you have such a busy schedule, and can't update as much as we'd like you to (and as much as you'd probably like to).

None the less, keep up the good work, and I'll patiently await the next page, even if I have to wait a couple of months...

Hey, sorry for my earlier comment -- I was merely terrified that the comic had been abandoned forever through loss of enjoyment on the part of the artist! Also, I know the feeling of promising others - and, more importantly, oneself - that one will get something done by a certain time, and never having it happen because life interferes. I didn't want that to take the joy out of drawing the comic, to make it into a chore. With the note Kitty has now left, i am content to wait indefinitely for another amazing page. Buck up! There's no need for guilt! This is your HOBBY, not your job, and we can wait!

Friedenmann- That wasn't directed at you, it was just people in general really...

No one in particular.
I see it happen all the time. An artist will hit a snag in their life; be it personal or job related or whatever, and you get these people that really tell the artist off for not updating. Sometimes even really laying into the artist...

It's quite frustrating.

But no it wasn't directed at you; so please don't take it that way. I was just thinking out loud really. I've seen some people say some really nasty things to different artists in the past; so I thought I'd put my two pence in as I really like this comic.

I think she's simply busy. And we can wait. And that's what we gonna do! For the love of her and her work; which I remind everyone (AGAIN!) is done for free, and bitching about not getting stuff that is normally free is idiotic.
BTW did Kitty find herself a new job? I was outta da loop for more than a month.

I don't know why people piss and moan about updates... If you've faved it; then you'll get a message for when the next page is up.

I agree with Krae. Some people seem to think that artists have all the time in the world to draw and whatnot; but we don't, we do actually have jobs; families; and a life outside of art.

This is our hobby and sometimes we need to put it on hold so we can get life's awkward-ness out of the way before we can continue with our lesuire time.

Plus; if you threaten; bitch or behave in a generally unpleasant manner towards the artist; it can actually have the reverse effect on the comic. It could actually kill the artist's desire to draw altogether because they feel as though they're being pressured into doing it; instead of actually wanting to do it...

So far I love this comic; and although I am eager to see the next page to see more fantastic artwork; and continue an interesting storyline; I am in fact waiting patiently; and I am willing to wait for the artist.


I'd rather see work from the artist that enjoyed what they did; then see something that was quickly slapped together just to shut some moany people up.

Keep up the great work silentkitty! I really hope things get back on track for you soon

She doesn't _owe_ you a thing.

Jeez get a life. Obviously Kitty has one and it's a busy one. The moment she'd regard this comic as a burden, it's her right to pull the plug completely if need be. So sit back and relax, a little waiting never hurt anybody.

*grumbles*. _some people_ :( Getting stuff for free and not an ounce of grattitude.

Take all the time you need, Kitty, those who matter will still be around when you return, I'm sure of it.

I'm still here.

For what it's worth, sorry, I'm burned out, my schedule is hectic, I haven't had time to sit down and work on any personal projects for the last two months.

Of course you guys matter. Of course I feel like a horrible person because I'm not updating. It makes me feel like I'm just spouting out excuses when I leave notes like this saying I'm busy. I'm not going to say "I'll have a page by this date", because I don't know if I can or not and I don't want to promise something that I may not be able to deliver on.

I'm not abandoning the project at all, as I've said, and if my update schedule is making you angry or feel like I don't appreciate you, or that I'm taking you for granted or whatever, then I'm sorry.

Yes, and be as late as you want, I completely understand. Just let us know if, and when you're going to be late so we don't check constantly, or if the comic is too much for your schedule, perhaps consider altering your update schedule so you can keep it semi-regular without killing yourself. It can't be that impossible to take 5 minutes to say, "sorry, guys, work is crazy right now." Totally ignoring us is like saying we don't matter AT ALL and you don't care if we read or not.

I'm not protesting lateness, I'm protesting being taken for granted.

Jesus Christ guys, we artist do have lives. Some of us also draw for a living or work other jobs. Both of which are very tiring. It is funny to spend 6 to 10 hours a week drawing comics, you post online for free, for people to read, and then get reprimanded when you're late.

It’s like this one time when I offered a bum a buck, and he slapped it out of my hand because it wasn’t enough.

It is sad when a comic doesn't update for a while, but it is important to realize that artists have lives, too! Most of the people on DD do their stories as hobbies, the only incentive being to please readers. I love this story, and as much as I really really want an update, I respect the fact that silentkitty may have important things going on in her life.
It is immature to get angry because of lack of updates and threaten to "quit reading this comic for good".


I am impressed that Purg. Tower is still so popular, even though it hasn't updated in months. Just goes to show how good it is.

I don't want to be a jerk, but can I just point out how disrespectful it is to your fans to just disappear off the face of the planet and not even bother to leave a short message explaining the delay or telling us not to expect a new page for a while, so we stop checking? It's rude and careless. I'm going to wait a little longer, and then I'm going to quit reading this comic for good, since I can't depend on you at all. I'm sure I won't be the only reader you've lost.
