By BigBadBen's request, I'm creating this thread to announce that he is
A) Not gone for good,
B) will return to the forums part time in about a week from this Friday and
C) Will likely post more of his graphic novel August 1st.

For those worried he was gone for good, breathe easy. He'll be back soon. Although his new youngling will prevent him from conversing like before, he'll still be lurking about. He just wanted to update you folks on his future here.
