I have about 80 recorded notes on the Boston Anime Convention with The Pirate Nigel and going to the Sheep and Wool festival with Happygoth and Dragon Con goddess. The thing is, both of these “story lines” will take about a day to map out. I have to write out each comic so that I can figure out what goes first, make sure I get all the points, and there’s some sort of flow from beginning to end… ish. So I try to put some filler in between the ren fest comics and the rest. So thursday and friday will be “filler”.

I’ve wanted to do a comic about this for a while. When you sit down in the bathroom and find a good book and then next thing you know your feet are asleep and family members are pronouncing you dead. I’m shaking my foot in that first panel because it’s fallen asleep. I like how I’ve got myself draped over Obby. I have been told that I have to stop finishing a comic with Obby’s face in my boobs. So this one just has his chin in there.

Third panel, you can always tell when I’ve used photo reference.

Banner Ads

So, the banner ads are gone.

We never really liked them outside of the fact they helped pay the bills. However given current happenings, we’re super not comfortable with them anymore.

In our household we have started boycotting certain companies, and meanwhile I see these same hyper-corps living (relatively) rent-free next to our art. It just doesn’t sit right. Why pester you, our readers, to funnel more of your money into the hands of greedy oligarchs?

I tried blocking the companies from advertising on the site, and it actually worked, but there were just so many companies to block. Even if I blocked them all, ultimately some of the big tech companies would still be profiting greatly, giving them yet more money to wield against our collective interests.

So I just pulled the plug.

I was expecting to feel some great anxiety, but instead it was a great relief.

As for what’s next? We don’t know.

We might use the space to promote other things in the future, or nothing at all, but for now it’ll be a message of thanks(that some of you may already be familiar with).

Thank you for your support.
