I hate doing this, but my life has gotten too busy to maintain any semblance of a schedule for the strip. It's unfair to the 4 or 5 of you that actually look forward to reading the exploits of the mall employees for me to keep having you guys checking back day after day. I hereby announce: "kiosk. life in neutral" is on a long hiatus. It's NOT over. It WILL be back in one way, shape, or form. I just have too much on my plate right now to update with any frequency.
I am currently working two full time, and one part time jobs. Add on top of that, the fact that I just started chemotherapy on Friday to hopefully take care of a tumor I've been living with for 15+ years (it's not cancer, but it sucks). Plus, I'd like to once again spend some kind of time with my wife before she hates me too much for taking all these projects on during this time.
Word will be out when we're back in business. I have a great PR guy who will make his voice heard when the strip is back up and running.
Thanks to everyone who has read, and looks forward to reading more.
Today marks the one year anniversary of Kiosk. Life in Neutral's debut on HM. I recently went back through the archives and have been very pleased with the progress I've made with the strip. It started with gag-a-days, and quickly morphed into what I wanted it to be, a story-arc centric comic. I hope everyone else has enjoyed the strip as much as I enjoy making it.

Alright! Jake finally wins in this one! Sure, he kind of schemed to get something he has been longing for, but I think he deserves it. Also, notice who's holding the mistletoe. I think Candy is beginning to see something in our favorite mall employee.
Well, now that Christmas has come and gone, it's time to do what all the stores do...focus on Valentine's Day! I'm currently writing a story involving dating and love lives, so this one's for the ladies...
I hope you all enjoyed the X-mas arc, and thank you again for reading.
Please drop by the forums and let me know how things are going, what you'd like to see, just say hi...whatever.
Wow am I behind on this one, or what? Work has been super busy, as we're putting the polish on a 2 minute promotional clip for our boss to take with him to Las Vegas to shop around at the end of next week.
Making his debut in page 7 is Jake's hairless cat, Bendis. Our hero is in a tough spot, wanting to get the object of his desire something special for Christmas, and he's getting desperate. In the next few, we see just how low he goes to get his inspiration.
I'm really hoping to crank out the next 8 parts of this to finish it up, and get started on a Valentine's day arc in time for V-Day. I mapped out what I would like the next 6 months or so of strips to be, right through this year's Summer Spectacular, so maybe the next 8 months.
Hello!! Welcome to the kiosk Christmas Special! I haven't sat down to put together a solid schedule for when this one will be out, but I'll do that this weekend, so you faithfuls can read along as soon as a new strip is up. This one is 15 parts, with a HUGE pay off in the end. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and not too many of you are out wrestling 65 year old grandmas for a 10 dollar DVD player/toaster oven.
Hello all you faithful kiosk readers, and WELCOME to all you newbies! I know Sean did a whole hell of a lot pimping to get word out on his writing debut, so thank you all for checking out the strip. Sean came to me before October, and he asked if it was cool if he wrote a Halloween strip. Knowing what a good writer he is, I quickly said yes, and the result is the great 6 parter that you have just had the pleasure of reading.
Now, my plan is to collect the enormous Summer Special and the Halloween Spooktacular into a nice comic book sized "Kiosk. Life in Neutral's Indian Summer Sectacular 2007" PRINTED volume. PLEASE feels free to email and or PM me on the forums here to let me know if you want a copy, and I'll post the details as to when they'll be available over there on the HM forums as well. I've had a ton of fun over the past few months working on the strip, but it's time to take a small break, so I can write a bunch of strips, and get ahead on it again. Thanks to everyone who hung in during all the delays, and thanks again to Sean for keeping the arc fully in the realm of the kiosk world. You'll definitely see more from him in the future!
Yes, that bottom panel is supposed to be pixelated, in case some of you don't get the joke. Seems we're chugging right along now. 3 more parts/4 more pages until the end, how is this possible? Double page spread baby!! The next strip will be pages 18 and 19, then we wrap up in time for our now 6 parter for Halloween. Hope you guys are liking the current arc, I'm looking forward to the payoff, as I think it's pretty funny.
