Bad bad news

It appears that a storm last night ate Charlie, my pc. I can't get him to boot, and everything Akashik, Heavenly Bride, and 10 Confessions (as well as other projects) is tucked onto his slave drive. In short, I'm screwed.

Getting a new one that can do the things he did and/or putting him into a shop that will end up saying, "gotta reformat" is financially out of the question... so it looks like after the current scheduled updates the comics I run will not be updating for a while. Using my notebook (for work) I can still surf the web, update the news, and run the contests. I just can't do the things that constitute a finished webcomic page.

If it's one thing, it's another huh.

I'm very sorry for the news. Maybe things will turn around the way they tend to do. I certainly intend to keep trying to boot Charlie, but at this point in time the problem is pointing to a major hardware error.
