It’s a new month! Hooray!

The September experiment of providing voter incentives was a fun and successful one, I think. We’re gonna have to back off from it this month for time-management reasons, but we enjoyed all the feedback we got from it! It’s definitely something we’re interested in doing again in the future, and meanwhile, if you have any questions you’d like to have sent in, we’d still be thrilled if you sent them our way!

If you haven’t seen the most recent one yet, it’s still there over at TWC, and we’re planning to leave it up for a few days more.

Otherwise, things are still going as usual here at the main comic, but a little quicker and more comfortably. School has started, so we’ll see how that goes–so far it’s been great, though, and we’re not anticipating any problems with keeping to the update schedule. :)

So, that being said, we’ll see you on Saturday! Thanks again for all your input and support!

Just a reminder — now is a great time to head over to our two voting sites at TWC and WebcomicZ and vote! The incentive strip currently up at the former place features a character who has not yet appeared in the main comic!

I also wanted to mention that there’s a new other strip being linked over on our sidebar — Digger. It’s deservedly well-known already, but I had to sound off. I just finished getting caught up in the archives, and I have super mixed feelings about it. I’m thrilled because it’s so good it hurts; I’m sad because I can no longer see dozens of new pages at a sitting. Clearly I’ll have to reread it right away. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look!

Meanwhile, we can always use new questions to answer in the incentive comics, so if you’re curious about anything, send it our way!

Thanks again for reading and voting and giving us your input. We’re having a wonderful time, and your support has been incredible. :)

Hi everyone!

It’s September, and the big news this month is voting incentives!

Once per day, we invite you to head over to our two big exposure sites (TopWebComics and Webcomicz.com) and vote us up. As a reward, the TWC site will reveal a special mini-comic, visible only to voters and drawn by yours truly (so Michael can focus on the regular pages). The first one is up already–and you’re also invited to send us emails, which may be featured in future comics!

Webcomicz.com doesn’t yet have incentive functionality, but it’s an easy side-track while you’re over here clicking things anyway. :) Plus, we made it all the way up to #20 on that site last month, without any kind of special push, so I bet we can do even better this month! If we make it to the top 10, I hereby vow to do something spectacular.

Incentives will be updated every week, probably on Wednesdays (this week was early because I’m excited). So that means we’re as good as updating twice weekly from now on! Woo-hoo!

Also, thanks tons for the comments we’ve been getting. We’re having a blast, and we’re thrilled that you’re all reading. You folks are awesome.

See you around! Whenever it should happen to cross your mind, send some votes and some emails our way!

Hi all!

Just so everyone knows, we’ve made it much easier to post comments to both journal entries and comic pages, thanks to a little bird that whispered in our ears. :)

You no longer have to log in, so please feel welcome to drop a line!

Coming up in September: voting incentives. :D And they’re gonna be pretty darn awesome.

Thanks for reading!

Early last week, I got a text message from Michael in the middle of the night containing the following image, without comment:

If I understand correctly, he left it like that on the lineart.

It makes me laugh every time I look at it, so I thought I’d share. Hee hee hee hee.
