has been missing for a good reason...

Sofa Kingdom the webcomic has been on hold until the comicbook is completed. no blame on shariff the co-creator (blame the other guy!) dont worry we both have a good amount weekly hi-jinks of comic strips to fill each week like 3 months worth.. like over 16 strips combined..
In the mean time. the comic is almost completed for C2E2 Chicago comic show 2011. Story by Shariff Musallam and Aleroart! 32 page comic including special guest pin-up art with sketches too.
Getting close to wrapping up .. here is the rough cover. more to come and please stay tune!
