This blog is one of my all time favorites! I couldn't figure out how you managed to keep loading all the amazing scans (so many of which I hadn't seen in years , or ever) but the effort was really appreciated. Just wanted you to know that.
Be well. You deserve a good rest after all you've given us.
Thanks for leaving it up. There's a lot I now have to download! :-)
Sorry to hear that, Joe. Thanks for all the artwork, the fit birds, the laughs, the conversations... everything, really. If you do decide to resume blogging here, you know I'll be here too.
Look after yourself, mate. All the best, Simon ( cerebus660 )
Take care of yourself, Joe. This is one of my favourite stops on the ole' interweb thingy, but it's not worth you bursting a blood vessel over. Look after yourself, amigo.
Thanks for all, Joe ! I'm a french fan of your blog et I find here so much treasures, with the amazing pages of comics (and the pretty girls...). You'll be missed. Take care of you and I hope we'll read you again in the future.
That's bad news for me because I really dig your blog, but good news for you, I guess. I just wanted to send big Thanks and Hugs from Germany, your posts were amazing (and the fitbirds were a very welcome diversity). All the Best!

All I can say, Joe, is that I hope one day you'll find the energy and enthusiasm to return - if you want to, that is. I know how much work goes into what can seem even the most trivial of posts on a blog, but that's always the secret of the best things in life - making them seem easy. At least we'll have your archives to console us.
