In all honesty, the fact that he did say something, even though it was very little, made me stick around these several weeks. If he had just gone completely dark, with no mention of an emergency, I would have just assumed the comic was abandoned, and abandoned it in turn. Even though the details were promised, and not delivered (as of yet), I'm just happy that he bothered to let us know that something had happened, and the comic would return some day. I've seen better comics die suddenly with no explanation from the author, so at least this is a better situation.
