The Greatest Show On Earth

The explanation

There are a lot of reasons that I have decided not to continue with Kyle and Josh as it is right now. The first and biggest is that I do not have the time to devote to something like this. When using that excuse I hear a lot of people tell me that I should just update whenever I feel like it. But really, a web comic is almost like a business. To run a successful webcomic you need an updating schedule, something that brings people back and makes them want to read it. If they don't know when the next one is coming it's way too easy just to forget about it.

The other reason is that I just don't have the same love for the comic that I once did. I've been working on this thing on and off for over 10 years now. During that time I've put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and finances into the whole thing. Regardless, I think 10 years is a good amount of time for almost anything and it's time to pretty much move on.

That said, there are only 2 ways that Kyle and Josh will make a return. The first and most unlikely is that I both find the time and my next project completely falls through. The second is if someone else agrees to do all the artwork, from start to finish. I have scripts that are more-or-less finished and they could easily be added to this if someone willing and able to pick up the artistic mantle is eager enough to take a stab at it.

What I will be doing in the meantime is updating the Gallery and the Archive sections with everything I have amassed over the last 10 years. You'll see a good chunk of things that very, very few people have ever seen, including the very first, complete issue of Kyle and Josh that we did on Kyle's computer. There will also be a few additions to the gallery and comic pages in that I will eventually be able to add text to give you more of an understanding of what you're looking at. Don't expect that until after the first of the year, though.

In the event I ever get fan comics or randomly do a comic myself I'll post them, or if someone emails me to say they want to take over drawing it I'll let you know, but for the time being you can consider this the end of Kyle and Josh.
