All good things must come to an end. And so must the mediocre, and the downright bad. Where Home Run falls within this continuum, I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that my creative interests are no longer in just drawing comics. As such, I am ending Home Run and that other infrequently updating comic that shares this site, Topical Salve, where they stand. I hope you have enjoyed the ride. I certainly did.

This is not to say that I am packing it in and riding out of town. Instead, I am relocating and reinventing. If you're interested, point your browser here. The name may be familiar, but the content is all new. Plus, since I'm using actual blogging software over there, I have added flexibility to accomodate my ever-changing creative outlets.

And who knows? Joel, Toby, Walt, Joules, and the rest of the gang might show up there every once in a while. Berkeley Breathed couldn't retire his characters. I see no reason why I should.
