SJ Wallpaper!  By reader request, here's a wallpaper version of the ensemble coda image for the strip. This is actually an alternate coloring version done by Hikaru, 1280x1024. Enjoy! -The Gneech Current Mood: good |

"The End" on Monday
I took off from work yesterday so I could actually get the strip drawn, there was no other way it was going to happen. However, katayamma asked to have the weekend to work on coloring it "to the best of his ability," so it will actually go up on Monday. I also found out yesterday that Spiritwalker, auction cameo winner and all-around swell guy, passed away in October after a long fight with cancer. So I would like to ask all SJ readers to raise a glass today in his honor. -The Gneech |

Since Wikipedia's users seem inclined to delete their article on the comic, I've merged it with the one at WikiFur. If anyone's up for improving the latter, feel free to give it a go. It could do with more pictures, for a start; you can upload some and add them to the article with [[File:Yourfilename.jpg|thumb|description]]. A more detailed plot summary would probably be useful, too. |

Thar Will Be Strips This Week!
At least one, anyway. I got it off to katayamma for coloring last night, hopefully it will go up tomorrow. If the universe is merciful, there may be one on Thursday, too. -The Gneech |

Still Sick; Strips to Come ... Later
I'll spare you the details; suffice to say I'm not well and don't know when strips will be back. I'm hoping for later this week, but I can't make any promises. Sorry for the delay! -The Gneech |

No Strip Today
Stress at work combined with nerve pain med withdrawal (not fun) have left me wiped out. Takin' the day off and hope to get some productive time in this weekend. -TG |

An Emotional Moment
I just marked "Scripts for SJ" off of my to-do list for the last time. The last Suburban Jungle comic strip has been scripted. It was hard. Not because it was difficult to script — I've had the plot outlined for months and the basic idea in my head for years — but because it was so hard to force myself to do it. Suburban Jungle has been one of the key defining aspects of my life for ten years. To write "The End" and put the pencil down means that my life is changing in a big way. It's a good change, one I've been looking forward to for a long time, but even good change on this kind of scale is just plain scary. I'm emotional, but not sad. It's like graduation day, there's just an enormous bundle of stuff flying around in my head. Something is ending, yes — but something else new and exciting is about to begin. It's a big deal for me. Words can't really get it across. But I'm grateful to all of you who've stayed around and been patient to reach this point. The hard part, for me, is now done. The rest is all technical. Sitting at the table and converting my storyboards to pencil and ink can be time-consuming, yes, but it won't require me to overcome all the massive resistances put in to place by a subconscious trying to protect itself from change. The shape of my whole world changed tonight. And it's scary. But it needs to be done. Thank you, everybody. I hope you will be pleased with the result. -The Gneech, September 21, 2009.

There -Shall- Be Strips This Week
...if I have to carve them on stone blocks. :P But exactly when, I'm not sure. It's sorta like football ... the last ten yards are the hardest. -The Gneech |

Work Ate My Brain
This whole "being a grown up" thing is more trouble than it's worth. I want to go back to the days when I spent 30 hours a week working on class and thought I was harried. ¬.¬ Anyway, officially no strip this week, and I'll be at Dragon*Con this weekend. Assuming all goes well, there should be strips in the latter half of next week. -The Gneech |

Strip Tomorrow
'twas supposed to be today, but I wasn't up to it last night. Word to the wise: if your doctor every tries to put you on Cymbalta, run far away. -The Gneech |
