No new comic this week due to Balthazar's passing
I knew it had to happen sooner or later, but it was still unexpected: my pet bunny Balthazar died yesterday. He was an old man (8 years old) and had numerous health problems, but the loss is still devastating. He has been my friend during difficult times and I loved him like I'd love a dog or a cat. He was an extremely gentle and sweet creature and I miss him.
I got the call from the vet as I was working on this week's comic, so finishing it became impossible, unfortunately. I'll be back on the regular schedule next week.
Rest in peace Balthazar

It's been a while, but allow me to say that I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost a pet a few years ago, a dog we had had for several years. I still miss him. However, as long as you remember the good times with Balthazar, he won't be truly gone.
Died on my birthday ☹️
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, losing a pet is always hard... take the time you need.
Thank you man, for sharing us about Balthazar. Despite never meeting him in person, I really liked this noble bunny. He was loved in life and will continue to be so after.
Sorry to hear that. Take care.
Oh man, that sucks. Losing a pet is harder than losing most people, frankly. Especially one that’s been in your life so long. My sincerest condolences, take as long as you need.
My sympathies. Take all the time you need
I’m so sorry, take as much time as you need.

Do whatever you need to heal. He seemed like such a sweet gentle bunny and I’m sure he knew you were an amazing friend.
Take all the time you need, losing a loved one is hard no matter who it is.
Sorry for your loss, just remember that Balthazar's life was enriched just by knowing you. It's definitely never easy, so take all the time you need.
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet will never be easy, but know this. You gave them the best life you could to the very end, and they will always be grateful for that. Take all the time you need to recover from this. Love you, man.
That sucks man, please take all the time you need.
Sorry for your loss, please take all the time you need.
