Welcome to Tove TL;DR! For anyone who's new to the comic and hasn't read all of chapter 1, here is a summary that neatly and accurately describes everything you missed early on. It's also a handy refresher for anyone who's been reading since the beginning. Reader comprehension is very important to me!
I'm not quite ready to pick up with real pages yet, but it's my goal to resume updating by the end of the month. In the meantime, I can probably draw another filler comic or two to keep the website feeling fresh.
edit: I must give a huge thanks to Lauren Davis at io9 for giving Tove such a nice review! Seeing it left me floored. The review was very positive and left me wanting to work harder to live up to such expectations. http://io9.com/this-surreal-adventure-webcomic-should-be-a-cartoon-net-1692043718
