I thought there was something said where he might come back to it at some point, that while he was pursuing other projects, once those projects are out of the way, he might readdress the characters.I don't get the point of this picture considering he's already ceased the comic. It's like "hey guys, here's what you could've seen!" and sort of like rubbing the strips cessesion in our faces.
I could be entirely mistaken, though x_x
