It's  been a month since I was told that my strip might be dropped due to lack of space and URBAN GERBILS are still being published as normal every week in the Camden New Journal plus its two sister papers with no further hints on them being dropped, so I'm just going to carry on sending them for as long as they need 'em, although it would be good to get into a weekly magazine. I would love to get some kind of feedback from the readers of those newspapers on my strip like the feedback I get on DA, but  unless someone who reads that paper takes the time to write in, I'm never gonna know. I scan the letters page for a mention, but it's usually full of letters about major local issues like ''I'm confused over whether to put eggs in the recycling bin or not.''  or '' I've lost my one eyed three legged cat named lucky.''  So I'm not gonna hold my breath hoping for a mention.


The gerbils are on Facebook now. So if you're on there and you've had your daily dose of Castleville, Farmville ,Cityville or whatever the fuckville else there is , drop by and give them a like...  [link] - they're feeling kinda lonely on there at the moment!
