From Niego's mailing list:
"The subject of this email rings true. This something I'm gonna hold off
mentioning on the site until Wednesday, but I'll tell you guys now
since you's my mailing list and you's got my back.
Niego's in it's last few weeks.
I know, I know. This is sudden. But not for me. Honestly? I'm just
insanely bored with Niego, and have been for a while. That's the main
excuse for the sparse updates lately. I guess I have creative ADD.
So I need some time away to learn to enjoy drawing again. Then, after a
few months? I dunno. Maybe I'll come back and reboot Niego. Maybe I'll
start one the many half-baked projects I've been developing mentally.
Maybe I'll start doing the journal comic more regularly. Maybe I'll
just keep my distance from comic creating and direct my attention
towards those short films Seth and I want to make. Who knows? Not me.
One way or the other, you gotta trust that ending Niego is the thing to
do right now. Otherwise, its just going to start going (more) downhill
and I'm going to end up a bitter hermit who cries whenever you show him
a mechanical pencil. I didn't come to the decision lightly.
But, like I said, we still got a few more weeks and tonight's comic
kicks off the last arc. Hope you enjoy it!"
