Filler: Double Announcement
We’ve got a double announcement folks, so LISTEN UP!
1) The good news: CD Rudd is back from his deployment! Thus, regular Jeanie Bottle updates will finally resume this month, on March 26th!
2) The bad news: Carlos, the artist and writer of The Melvin Chronicles, lives in Venezuela. His entire country has been suffering from near-constant blackouts for the last week, and that’s made it impossible for him to work on Melvin Chronicles. That’s why this week’s comic is this announcement filler.
None of us have any idea how long these blackouts will last, so we’re afraid that we have to announce a hiatus for Melvin Chronicles of unknown duration. It could be just this week… It could be longer. We just don’t know.
I wish that second bit of news was better, but it is what it is. Hopefully things will be back to normal for Carlos, his family, and his whole country sooner rather than later.
Also, here’s Jean rocking that cute Venezeula tourist outfit in full resolution:
Welcome back C.D. Rudd and I cant wait to see your story continue.
So there are three things that we the audience can take away from this.
1) Currently Carlos is out of action for the time being, sadly.
2) CD will soon make his long awaited return, awesome!
3) Jeanie is rocking that outfit, adorable.
Oh you just reminded me! I totally made a full-resolution version of Jean in that outfit, and uploaded it to the site, but forgot to link it in the description! It’s there now. 🙂
Welcome back CD!
its took bad we won’t get to find out what happened with Melvin, Red and Holly for a while.
Still..there’s always a chance for possible fillers until the blackouts end. ^^
Well, when He giveth with one hand, he taketh with the other. Good ta have ya back, CD. And Carlos, hopefully everything gets straightened out for you. Best of luck to both of you.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that me and my family are good and safe at the moment. As Robert said on his message, this last week have been really chaotic for me, I just recently got stable electric power, and only this morning I recovered my connection to the internet.
I am getting informed of this situation as it goes, due to the frequent lack of power, internet and even signal for the cell phones, is hard to get to know the whole situation, even from here, though, again, things seem to be mostly stable right now, though as far as we know, they are far from fully resolve.
I will keep contact with both Robert and CD every chance I have, to keep them informed of the progress around here, and in all honestly, assuming things don’t get any worse, I am just taking this week to get to figure the extend of the situation, as Robert said, this may be just a matter of one week, or it could be longer, I just don’t know yet.
On a personal level, I want to assure you all that me and my family, we all are dealing with this the best we can, as I said, we already have two days of mostly constan electricity at home, and the way things are being “handle” (a lot of this problems come from flat out incompetence from the people in charge) at least until recently, is that when a part of the city was out of energy, other parts did have it, so we were just moving along with other family members as it goes. Again, things seem to be working at the moment, but I need some time to be sure if they will remain that way, there is also a chance I get cut of internet at random moments while still having power at home, that was my case last night, so even if I could work, there is a chance I still couldn’t make any type of updates.
So, yeah, a really forced hiatus at the moment, I really hope things get back to normal soon, and also let you know that even now I am still working in the MC in some capacity even if don’t get to do updates… I need to do something to pass the time after all.
I apologize for the inconveniences, and thank you all for your patience.
You don’t have to apologize. It’s just good to know you’re okay.
Ouch. The worst part about unreliable electricity is that all of the refrigerated food spoils quickly–which is doubly bad if you can’t afford to replace it.
You’re probably going to continue to have those blackouts and sporadic internet connection until June. Maduro might be replaced by then.
Hadn’t realized about Carlos. Sit tight and hang in there! Things will likely be worse before they get better! And good luck!
Take care, the news I’ve seen has not been that great, hoping that things pick up for you and your’s soon.
Keep safe Carlos. I hope all goes well for you and your family.
In the meantime perhaps we can entertain ourselves by coming up with suggestions for the “Snack to the Future” menu. How about waffle fries called “Force Field Fries” as one of the sides? Or would wedge fries called “Hoverboard Fries” fit in better?
Curse US imperialism!
Why curse US Imperialism?
Carlos is in Venezuela and CD is in Canada.
Do you not know what’s going on in Venezuela right now?
@Nobody actually I do, and I am also confused as to what you mean with your commet. If anything I curse the Cuban Socialism for all of this, but even that is old news, at this point is just flat out imcompetence and corruption from the joke of a goverment we have.
Guys, I apreciate any good wishes on your part, but honestly, there is no need to bring politics here, or blame the US or whoever, believe me when I tell you this, because I can asure it as fact, everything wrong in Venezuela from the last 20 years come from Chavez and now Maduro… and to be honest Fidel Castro too, but the point being, our “goverment” is the only one at fault, and to be honest is not a subject I want to discuss here.
So, again, I am really thankful for your support, but please lets avoid bringing politics here.
So, what is that fruity concoction that Jean is drinking there?
Something alcoholic, I’m sure.
