Here, have a snappily dressed robot I knocked together. With any luck, it'll take the edge off what I'm about to say.

Now. I have said a few times in the past few months that hOkum will be coming back to a regular schedule soon. This was obviously (and unintentionally) complete fabrication.

Essentially, what I'm going to do is keep writing and drawing hOkum, but not updating it for a while. I need a buffer more than anything right now, so I'll keep slogging away and hopefully come back at some time in the Summer.

But don't hold that to me.

The robot- interestingly- is something I drew up for a ComicFury Crossover Game I've been working on. And this- along with TELOSA and my degree work- made me realise that I can't be taking on so many things at once. So I'm dropping off of all that (except the degree work) a bit as well. Not completely, but enough.

So what I'm basically saying is stop hanging on for a hOkum update if you were in the first place. And if you're just arriving to have a look for the first time, you couldn't have arrived at a worse time!

But do watch this space, and I apologise for hitting such dodgy ground with updates. Can you ever forgive me?

Jacob i liked the way you took h0kum and ok. you missed some updates and stuff.

but dude, you focked up and here is why:
- you have let down your readers on multiple occassions, because you just took a break whenever necesary
- a little while ago you took a break, than when you posted your 2nd k0kum after that break, you where already talking about another break. if you don't have the hart to do this, than it will never succeed

so bottom line:
FOCK YOU TOO

serieusly man, get it together.

if i made you mad by this wake up call Jacob than suck my white balls (serieusly, give them a good one)

if you want to contact me or tell me stuff about your feelings and/or how buzy you are than BOO HOO.

It really is BOO HOO because I can't contact anonymous guests. Obviously.

But you've given me food for thought. I am sorry if you feel like that - and if anyone feels like that- and I'll have to think over whether I actually do have the heart for this or not.

But your white balls are going to remain unsucked. Sorry.

Jacob, i love hOkum, but if your heart isn't into it anymore than continuing it would be mil-none. If you don't want to do hOkum anymore and go onto different projects than just say so, you don't have to keep us on a constant hook line.

Bahhhh...
Chill out all of you..
Just wait till Jacob updates again..
If you are subscribed then you can just wait it out till you get a notification from ComicFury saying it's updated..
It's not like he is making you check his page every two days for the next few months or something like that..

That's my rant over with..
Look forward to seeing you on the flip-side Jacob!

Peace :)

of course you can't contact me i totally forgot.

I like that evendo I took it to a little extreme level, you still took my post serieusly.

so if you do want to contact me you can do so, i'll give you my gmail. for obvious reasons i am not going to give my real e-mail adress so i also won't respond that often.

DonYoshi15@gmail.com

ps. it's an old gmail account, im not 15 anymore

OMGJACOB I CANOT BLEVE U WULD DO TIHS HOW CULD U!?!?1

Not really. I forgive you.

It's totally understandable that you would want a break. No one is paying you to make these, so you're not obligated to make them happy. >:O Do what you think is best!

Meanwhile, I'll be looking forward to hOkum's 100th comic. :D

I had no idea I had accrued more comments since my last one D:

@aSadFan: No, as you said before I shouldn't be emailing about just to try and justify laziness. Apart from anything else, a big part of a webcomic is consistently putting content out there, and I fell down on it somewhere. So I'll go lick my wounds and give some proper thought to it.

@Everyone else: I love that you care- in apparently varying ways- but we shall see what goes on with hOkum someday.

@Lady: Stop reading the comments. And uncross your legs while you're at it.

#3,129 on TWC is pathetic Jacob. Why even my comic
is like 1,302 or abouts. You've got to get your act together man, stiff upper lip and all that!

Oh no! My man-gina is hurting from all this moaning I have been doing!

It's probably because I am a whiny little bitch!!

But I have some major accomplishments that give me the right to give you life coach lessons! If you want to find out what they are (WHICH YOU SHOULD DO! BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING AWESOME) then email me at aSadFan@fuckyouhokum.com

Gotta go, I am having lactation issues!

Something... and I'm not sure what... tells me that this is not the same person as above.

Call it intuition.

In a way what he is doing might actualy bring up subscriptions. With out a real schedule more people will subscribe so they know when it updates. or else they would have to constantly check it just in case it updated.

@ jacob
i don't think that is the same sadfan either.
