Another late post this week. However things are starting to settle down. Hopefully I’ll be back on track for next week. Thanks for the kind wishes, and please keep reading!

Another long week come and gone. Things are starting to approach normal, and my submission for Cloudscape is getting under control. I’m too burnt out for much of a blog post, Next week will have more to comment on. Hoping to not have too many more missed updates.

Hey Guys,

Sadly after one year together my partner Sydney and I are breaking up. We have been living together, and now we have to find separate places to live. For this reason I have not been able to update.

I’ve been discussing with Jonathon some solutions for how to keep the comic on a regular schedule and dealing with unexpected delays. Jonathon had the great idea of a secondary strip focusing on some of the side characters. So today, here is a rough sample of Jonathon’s own “Teach Emily in Japan”.

Well, it’s been a rough week. I’m hoping to get back to a regular schedule, assuming life settles down a bit.

There’s been a lot of positive feedback on the site recently, so I hope you new readers continue to enjoy.

cheers,

Jeff

PS: Apologies for the bad Japanese, as usual.

Sorry for the delay.

cheers,

Jeff

Welcome back! Not much to say this week, I’d rather let things play out on their own. It has been nice to draw Jim again. I especially like drawing Jim when he’s outside the office. What a character! Jim is more a composite of many people who worked over me, than any one person.

I moved into a studio space for the new year and it’s been really helping my productivity. I’ve also been putting the finishing touches on my submission for the latest Cloudscape book. Expect more news on that soon.

Aaaaand we’re back!

So begins an exciting new chapter of Teach English in Japan! Based on actual events! It’s good to be back, hope you enjoy the new stories for 2012.

cheers,

Jeff

Happy New Years!

Ricky is carrying a traditional Okage mochi which is a traditional home decoration put out for new years. It’s made of mochi (rice paste) and oranges.

Expect regular updates to resume next week.

Merry Christmas from Teach English in Japan!

Cheers,

Jeff

Today’s guest strip was provided by Ed Appleby, my friend and former student. (Not from my time teaching English mind you, but as a graphic design instructor.) Ed’s work can be seen at edsrus.com and you should all go there and check it out!

As for the regular story arc, I’ve decided to wait until Jan 9 2012 before restarting normal updates. I will still have new content every Monday but the next plotline will start in the new year. It’s a story focusing on James Kelly and it’s a story that Jonathon and I are really excited to be telling. Hope to see you then!

cheers,

Jeff
