What I put on Chalkboard Manifesto a few days ago:

Do not lose faith, readers. I will update late this Wednesday. I’ve figured out the problem. I usually say to myself, “I am a student. Therefore, I will do my work first, and then my comic.” I have three essays to write in the course of 2 days. That’s why I can’t update now. Yet, I managed to write a political essay for my weblog. I can call myself a satirist and a political commentator as easily as I call myself a student. However, calling myself a cartoonist seems foreign, even though that’s all you know me as. But, dear readers, from now on, I will be a cartoonist. This cartoonist will be taking a brief hiatus until Wednesday. Then, I will return with a new frame of mind. Each time before, I said I was going to “get back on track,” but there was no track to get on. That formulation was entirely wrong. When I return, I will make this comic a bigger part of my life — making it as important to me as it is to some of you. Broken promises were the norm here, but not anymore. Thanks, I hope you continue with me on this journey.

So, now I’m a cartoonist.
