Oct 3rd, 2007 - [974]Kimberly's weekend getaway (15 of 18)
Re-run for Mar 16th, 2025Link
Original Commentary
I just love how sweet and yet so strange this comic is... I really get the feeling Kimberly is a daddy's girl. I don't even think I asked Terrence if she was- I just wrote it that way. Or maybe we did talk about it... but then again, for the longest time, Terrence and I were divided on Kimberly's past... there are parts of it that we still don't agree on (such as past boyfriends and the like). -Isabel
Modern Commentary
Speed dial! That's the precursor to your smartphones' contacts. You could assign a person's number to an unlabelled slot instead of manually dialing. You'd have, like, up to ten slots as I recall it.
Having a name attached to it is an improvement, as is having virtually unlimited space for contacts. But back then, you'd remember peoples' phone numbers. And giving someone a spot on your speed-dial list meant something; nowadays I've got a contact list that's half full of people I'll probably never call.

First, You Say it First is going to be running with commentary starting July 18th - next Monday. Seven days a week. With original commentary AND new modern commentary that has the full benefit of hindsight! Be there!
Secondly, Panda Jenn did a video - Old Furry Websites I Used To Visit. In addition to being an look back at how the internet used to be - and it used to be different - one of those sites was Unlike Minerva, the prequel to You Say it First.

Over the last month, Isabel participated in Mermay, a mermaid-themed drawing challenge. If you follow her on Twitter, you've probably seen it. Our friend Eric Pearson has compiled them into a video for one-stop viewing. If you haven't seen them, please check then out.

So, we're less back than we wanted to be.
We really wanted to finish the Amoeba X-ing storyline and we're glad that we were able to. We were hoping that momentum would carry us forward. That was overly optimistic.
The pandemic is still on. We're kinda going crazy staying at home, but it's the safest option for us and those around us. Isabel's art anxiety has gotten worse. We're not ready to come back yet. Sooner than later, we hope. Not as long as last time. But not right now.
02.25.2021 - Terrence Marks:
We're back! Update schedule is, well, we'll see how things go. We thank you all for coming back.

So how are we doing?
Well, main thing is comics are on hold until further notice.
Physically? We're ok. We're staying indoors. We work from home. Haven't left the house in months apart from vet appointments, and we know we're both lucky that we're able to do that. If you can stay home or socially distance or wear a mask, we really appreciate it and thank you for it. We want this whole pandemic thing to be over, because, like everybody else we're kinda tired of it by now. But still staying home.
Mentally? Kinda bad right now, to be honest. 2020 kinda sucks. Everything is just so much right now. It's hard to be creative.
Comics? On hold until further notice. I really don't know if or when we'll be back. I'm sorry. Some days it feels like we've been slowly running out of steam for a long while and these are not energizing times. If we come back, I'd rather we do it vigorously instead of in fits and starts as life wears us back down. I'd hate to say we're coming back, then we don't or we stop after a few updates.
Expiration is turned off for NamirDeiter.net accounts. If you supported us, we sincerely appreciate it and hope you enjoy the backlog of content we have up there.
Cats? Doing surprisingly well so far. Buttons' thyroid treatment was a success. She's put on at least two pounds, which is good since she was on the low side of four pounds before all this. Momo is still around. Her kidneys weren't in great shape at the start of all this and they're very unlikely to have improved. She's doing better than we expected, but we know that won't last forever. Every extra day we have with her is a blessing and we're grateful for it. Beowulf is doing good, to the best of our knowledge. He doesn't have any complaints as long as we feed him before we feed the other cats.
