Merry christmas and a CucuC new Year !




Hi friends,

As year 2009 is ending, we feel the need to take a few weeks off. For several reasons.

  • First, because we feel like it :) It's been nonstop for us since February 2009, and all our spare time sofar has been solely devoted to Oghme Comics, and... as our wives (yes, we have several each) never fail to remind us, we do have a family too, children, dogs, even gardens to tend (not that we'll do much tending in the dead of winter). Christmas is for familly.

  • Second, because we have a technical problem of sorts. Without going too much into the details, we like to have a buffer of 4 weeks in advance, in addition to the strip being published. We're progressively eaten up our advance, which - as any banker will tell you - is not a good practice ;) And, we truly need it to do things correctly. So we'll use this holiday time to rebuild our buffers. As a rule, each time we go under 4 pages in advance in the next months, we'll have to skip one update to regain that advance. Our aim, before all, is steady quality.

We'll keep you updated on the exact "resuming date" right here (somewhere near the third week of January). If you wish to be kept informed, either subscribe to the RSS FEED (on the top of the right column) or subscribe to the Oghme Comics newsletter here. (no spam, only important updates)

Soo... What's up for 2010 ?

  • We'll conclude CucuC Volume 1, sometime near the end of spring, and hopefully, some printed versions will be available for those who're interested

  • We'll either begin CucuC Volume 2 (which is still a "CucuC" adventure, meaning Setanta before Emain Macha) but will take us amongst warrior troops, the kind which will become the basis for the Fianna of historical Ireland. There will be quite a lot of Morrigan/Badbh (for those who are tired of Oghme), and some blood will be spilled.

  • ... ooor, we can put that aside for 6 months and speed up on the Cuchulainn webcomic, for the rest of year 2010.

Last, we wanted to express our gratitude to our loyal readers and commenters, your words lasses and lads, are our fuel. As much as we'd like to get our comics in print, we're doing this for ourselves as much as for you. Here, a very special thanks to our Oghme translating team, Scán (CucuC and Cuchulainn in German), Dave (Cuchulainn in Gaelic)  and Logodenn Ben Doul (CucuC in Breton).


See you very soon !
