Sticking to the old story

UPDATE: Yeah, it's been almost a year or something, but here's an update on the *original* storyline.
It's never been taken down since the re-make effort started (and fell flat after three pages), but the main page features the original 2214 comic again.
Why, do you ask? Okay, you probably didn't ask. After a couple of years of inactivity, it'd be surprising if anyone still read this column.
What's my plan? I reckon if there's any more work done on 2214, it should continue the storyline rather than try to re-tell it. Sure, the early pages are pretty much exactly what I *didn't* want the comic to turn out to be, but after going this far into it, it seems like a waste of effort to re-create the comic instead of just continuing it and moving forward.
Having said that and not having worked on the comic in a very long time, moving forward with the story is a greater incentive to resume work than starting over from the very beginning.
So... what have I been doing? Professional stuff, learning new software, and to some extent, still taking online courses. That, and hiking in freezing weather.
Something might happen here soon.
