In late January of this year, Loaded Dice went
on what was to be a short break. I was headed to Disney World for a family vacation.
We anticipated a two week gap in the comic.

Life had other ideas.

While on vacation, we had a tragic death in our family - my wife?s brother passed away at the age of twenty-eight.

My boss was waiting for me
to get home, so that he could
let me know that my job
had been eliminated.

In an effort to ensure my family?s survival, I took up very long hours doing contract web
development. With my time and creativity pinched, I had to put the strip on indefinite hiatus.

By the time I was ready to continue, Tiana had taken on too heavy of a load to resume the comic. I bid her the best, and we parted ways.

So, is this the end? Heck, no!
We have a new artist - Lyra Logan will
be taking over all art duties for Loaded dice. Her work looks amazing.

Keep your eyes open - we should be back on a regular production schedule by the first of May. In the meantime, check out http://www.rdinn.com/view_topic.php?topicid=2372 to see our new concept art!

The first statue crashes to the ground, shattering a good portion of an arm in an attempt to catch itself. Ray: Yes! Steve (narrator): The damage makes it difficult for the statue to regain its feet. Meanwhile, the second statue is unable to stop its momentum in time, and it trips over the first one. Brad: Did one of Ray's plans actually work? Rich: Somebody write this down for posterity. Ray: Shaddap. Amy: Hush. How badly are they damaged? Steve (narrator): The broken limbs have made it near impossible for the statues to stand, and they simply flail about on the ground for a while before totally freezing in place. Rich: The bigger they are, the harder they... Tim: Don't you dare. We already have to live with your puns - start spewing cliches and I'll physically injure you. Ray: I second the motion! Tim: All in favor? Steve: None opposed? Very well, then... motion carried! Rich: brikker brakker, rassafrakker... He Has my Vote!
