I decided to order some sample mailers, to make sure they fit the books and avoid a repeat of the last fiasco. I finally found one that's big enough to hold the book, but not so big that the book sloshes around and gets damaged. They'll probably get here in a day or two. Unfortunately, I'll be heading out of town for the memorial service tomorrow. Hopefully they'll be waiting when I get back, and I can get cracking on getting these books out.
I really apologize for the long delays. If I had any idea so many wrenches would be thrown into the works, I would have held off on the preorders until I had the books and mailers actually in my hands.
Once I have this system smoothed out a little, I'm hoping to open a more expansive shop page, not only for my own comics but for Eleanor's as well. It'll be awesome. I'm telling you.
I didn't know what to say before, so I didn't say anything. I am sorry for your loss.
I do know what to say now, and it is this: it is totally understandable that there has been some delay. Do whatever you need to do, I trust that you will get everything done eventually. Your family should always take precedence over work, unless you're actively saving the world.
I waited more than a year for one book of comics from a different author. I'm sure you'll best that by a long shot.
