OK, it seems that maybe the half page updates were maybe too often, or perhaps just not long enough for people to get into the rhythm of each update, so we've made a few changes to the website. I was originally worried about people having to scroll around too much, which is why I snipped the pages in half, to make them more screen shaped.
I think that maybe made people expect it to be a gag-a-day kinda comic strip, like with a punchline at the end of each page, but it's not, it's a story comic. A funny story comic, but not a punchline-y comic.
Now they are full pages! I think this makes each entry more fun to read, and hopefully you will too.
Here's a link to today's double length instalment, and starting next week we'll update a full page like this every Tuesday:
The entire archive has been updated too.
Let us know what you think!

| Network Maintenance: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 04:00-06:00 UTC/GMT |
[Nov. 11th, 2009|02:00 pm] |
On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.
Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.
We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!
As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work. |

It just hit me that the only food I know of outside of unprocessed fruit that no one talks smack about is Cheerios.
Please tell me there is no secret, horrible, deadly, Satanic component to Cheerios. |

One problem with this one is that I do not understand the inner workings of a sink. So instead of a busted up sink you have some kind of malformed rhinoceros lurking back there. Oh well, the dangers of drawing straight to ink with no reference except my brain. My sugar high must be wearing out.

| Songs for Kylie |

I'm trying my hand at webcomic-ing, and come to you with a new project. Songs For Kylie is pretty basic. There are no sci-fi, futuristic, fantasy elements or anything like that. So, what does it have? A small group of 20-somethings trying to figure out how they fit into the rest of the world, some more successfully than others, as they deal with the sorts of things 20-somethings typically deal with (not quite drugs, sex, and rock and roll, but pretty close at some points).
I'm brand new to this whole comic-ing thing, so I'd love some feedback! |

| Final page of PS Part Three today. |

END ACT I
10.27.1998 - 11.09.2009
Thus ends the first PS storyline. It took over ten years to complete, kicking and screaming at times, but there it is. I did not intend to create a webcomic in the beginning. Rather it was always intended to be a series of books. However, I do not regret taking it online for a moment. Thank you all for reading and for encouraging me along the way. I could not have finished it without you all.
What's next? As I've hinted on my blog and in the comments section, I will be taking a break for the rest of the year, in part to get Part Three ready for press and get plans together to promote in in the new year. There are also a number of small projects I've been putting off in order to finish this, and I intend to finally get to them.
However, this isn't the end for Kate and Mike. Oh, no. PS will relaunch next year with a new look, new story, and new website. I have high hopes for a triumphant return, and look forward to getting back to the story after taking the necessary time to prepare it. I do not have a definite launch date set, but I promise to not keep you waiting any longer than necessary. I will have a better idea once I get Part Three off to press.
In the meantime, keep an eye on this space. I will be posting regular updates and goodies in the meantime, including lots sketches, background material, and footnotes to the story as I get the book ready to print.
Thanks again for all your support and patience. |

| Want a Cameo in someone else's Comic? Now's your chance! |

Quick Refesher: I draw the webcomic Last Res0rt, about a futuristic reality show (and the girl who signed up for it before figuring out she's also a vampire!). I'm almost done getting Volume 1 ready for print.
With Volume 1 looming on the horizon and the holidays coming up, now’s the time to put together what it’ll take to make sure this preorder stays on schedule — which includes no small amount of fundraising! Since the start of Volume 2 (if not throughout Volume 2) is going to involve, among other things, a veritable battalion of Star Org soldiers, why not ask you to help me find a solution to both?
You can help support the comic and keep Volume 1 on track, and I can draw you into the comic as a Star Org soldier instead of having to come up with random extras! You’ll not only be helping me, you’ll become part of the story!
Continue reading at lastres0rt.com and get full details...
TL;DR: Pay at least $50 and you'll get not only a custom conbadge of yourself / your fursona / whatever in their new role as a Star Org character, you'll also get a future cameo in Last Res0rt as well. If you don't feel like spending that much money, I've got a new wallpaper and some new Zazzle merch available as well. I'm doing this to raise money for the books; if I don't raise enough money, don't count on seeing the books anytime soon. |

| Farewell to Dry Pond. |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|01:06 am] |
As a writer/artist/colorist (etc.) in comics, I feel an odd kinship with the tragically noble tribrid depicted above, the Bearsharktopus, so I have adopted him as my new spirit animal and branded my new blog accordingly. This post marks the beginning of my transition from LiveJournal to Tumblr. See you there.
