For those of you who don’t know, I make this relatively obscure little online comic called Ancient Messages. I’ve had it since July '00 and used to update it every single day. This was back when I was a bored high school senior with enough free-floating hatred to draw comic book pages in class.
A couple of months ago, I decided I couldn’t conceivably continue with AM, and that the best thing to do with it would be to end it gracefully and keep the comic around as a completed web project.
Tonight, I finished drawing, scanning and uploading the last of my pages. I cried when I scanned and uploaded the last one.
I’m still kind of confused as to how I should feel about having it done. On one hand, I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to continue it anymore, but on the other, I’m proud of myself and I’ve had a lot of fun over the last few years. It’s also what got me into hanging around the Internet. And without that, I never would have met any of you wonderful people, or experienced the Greatness that Is Cecil.
For better or worse, Ancient Messages is set to end on Monday, August 19th.
