Hello, There’s Been Some Unfortunate News.

Hello, there’s been some unfortunate news.

Hi, Bepis-Boii speaking.  Over the past week, I got the crushing news from someone in my inner circle of in real life friends that one of my closest acquaintances, someone I had worked closely, and who helped me with inspiration for this project had taken his own life on Dec. 29th, 2020. I’ve only found out about it five days ago. I was and still am incredibly devastated by his death. He was such a lovable teddy bear, talented person, and overall jokester that when I initially heard about this I thought that it was just another one of his pranks, even when I got to go see his body one last time during his visitation, but no. It was all too real. He was gone and there was nothing I could do about it. I wish I got to properly say goodbye to him or at the very least hugged him before we went our separate ways. But I can’t take that back now. I’ve been going through it a lot this past week and because of that, for the sake of my mental health, I unfortunately have to delay the webcomic just a little bit longer. Not by a lot, but enough so I and my friends can grieve for my friend. Right now, I cannot work in this mental state. I hope you all understand. If anything, I want everyone to know one important thing out of this story. Don’t take your loved ones for granted. If you haven’t talked to person in a while, please talk to them. They’ll really thank you for it one day. You’ll never know how much they meant to you until they’re gone forever. Don’t forget that. And of course… if you, a loved one, or anyone else you know are going through a hard time, have suicidal thoughts, or just need someone to talk to.
