Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
House Tindal. Physicist, Head of the Crystal One development team and all around curious man. A late term cancer patient, Dr. Gage heads out to Bellisarius Territory to settle his own curiosity about some flaws in the eyewitness reports. He now finds himself spending the last days of his life with his reformed team of Crystal One scientists in an attempt to prevent the literal end of the world.
I have to say, I am relieved. In May 2018, Mr. Roden wrote:
“As for how far along we are in the story right now? We’re in
the last 15%.
“The end is finally in sight.”
I have dreaded today. I had calculated the number of the last comic, given Mr. Roden’s estimate, and that comic was yesterday’s. I have been fearing that today’s comic would be something like “And then Dead-Eyed Tôbalkin nuked the world and they all died”.
Given Terry Pratchett’s comment about the End of the World Button, I keep expecting to see a large red button that says “Do Not Touch! Under any Circumstances! Ever! Restart/Reboot” and a line of entities racing to get there first.
That’s not ominous at all.
“As for how far along we are in the story right now? We’re in
the last 15%.
“The end is finally in sight.”

I am so very glad to be wrong.
