Botched Spot on Hiatus…
It pains me to say it, but Botched Spot is taking a month long hiatus. The reason behind this break is that I have to finish my thesis for my M.F.A. degree. I finished classes at the Savannah College of Art and Design a year and a few months ago, and have been working on my thesis since, but much of the time I devoted toward it has been sporadic and kind of in between my day job and this comic and other things… and that needs to stop. When I was at San Diego Comic Con I ran into one of my old professors and talking with him about it is what inspired this redistribution of my time.
So after much consideration I’ve decided to take this break from Botched Spot so I can fully devote all my time to this thesis. I don’t know that I’ll get it all COMPLETELY done and signed off on in a month, but I know I’ll get a lot more accomplished. I hate that this comic is the thing that suffers, but I believe that when I get the thesis monkey off my back, being able to focus my attention fully on Olav and Rad Bad DeBone will make it much stronger.
Botched Spot will be back in full swing on September 6th, although I still plan on occasionally updating the blog with wrestling thoughts. I hope all of you understand! I’ve taken breaks before, but none this long. I think it’ll be worth it though.
Thanks for reading,

Good luck on your thesis!
Good luck! Maybe you’ll enjoy the comic better when you come back, without that hanging over your head!
Thanks for the heads-up; it’s quite frustrating when one of your favourite websites goes on an unannounced hiatus, isn’t it? 🙂
Best of luck with your degree.
Best of luck going over on your thesis.
Good luck on your thesis! Take all the time you need for it!
Maybe one day we’ll get to see your published thesis. If anything, the best birthday gift is seeing Botched Spot back in action. Can’t wait for the 6th of September.
Thanks for the support guys! I definitely will be back and better than ever after this. I’m making decent progress so far, but still have a ways to go. Thanks for understanding!
Wish you all the best, thanks for making this webcomic!
