I appreciate everyone leaving comments here and the Facebook fan page regarding the comic. You all have such kind and awesome words, I’m sorry to keep you waiting so long.

Right off at the top, I want to mention that I’m officially closing the Eros Inc. store on January 1st, 2012. Everything in the store is now 50% off, so if there’s something you’ve always had your eye on, now’s the time to get it. Prints are $2.50. Comics are $2.50. Deals deals deal-y deals.

The main reason for closing the store isn’t the official end of the comic, so don’t panic just yet. The truth is that I’m working hard on a career in writing for television, and I don’t really want to worry about this stuff for tax purposes, etc. I will also no longer be making appearances at conventions.

Which leads me to the comic. I started Eros Inc. when I was working as a production assistant for a development company, a job that wasn’t very creative. This was my outlet. I didn’t really want a career in webcomics (though some success I wouldn’t turn away), but I did want practice writing.

As most of you know, I worked as an assistant on Good Vibes for most of 2011, which was the reason I put it on hiatus through most of this year. When I was working on the show, I was pitching jokes and ideas in the writer’s room (as well as setting up calls, printing scripts, proofreading, other menial assistant work) and when I was in that room, I got a taste for what I want to do for the rest of my life. And to be honest, because of that taste, the drive that I had when I started this comic has dissipated. My time at Good Vibes has ended for now (though I am occasionally live-tweeting as Mondo and Woodie on Twitter during the episodes), but I’ve spent my time writing. Applying for jobs. Making connections. Punching up friend’s scripts. Playing Skyrim (okay, forget you read that last part). And I’m satisfied.

I’m not officially putting it on hiatus, nor am I ending it with this comic featuring Obama. I want to try to get some more updates to you guys, or at least fast forward the full twelve episodes I had planned into something more manageable so I can give you guys an ending.

In the meantime, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you watch Good Vibes. Yes, I worked on it, but a bunch of my jokes are scattered throughout, and I actually do a voice or two throughout the season. The show is vulgar and definitely written towards teenage boys for the most part, but there are also an ton of very smart jokes, as well as a ton of heart. It’s clever about it’s vulgarity. And I think you guys would like it. It’s on Thursday at 10:30 on MTV, and a bunch of the episodes are available to watch online now. I tweet the East Coast feed of Beavis and Butthead and Good Vibes, so if you want to have fun interacting with Mondo and Woodie, tweet at me.

Okay, now to more fun stuff. My lovely girlfriend Nan Lawson got me a 3DS as an early christmas present, so it’s my new toy. In it, you can make Miis for the 3DS and Wii, so wouldn’t you know it, I made some Eros Inc. ones. You can now have Mot, Clue and Tomas hang out in your Nintendo device. If you guys like these, maybe I’ll make some more! Oh who am I kidding, of course I’ll make more.
