We’ve received pretty good feedback for Jennie’s first e-book publication, however getting around to converting the other books(and their booklet cousins) to the Kindle is a task which we will not be able to complete any time soon. My dearest and I are juggling various plots which require our divided attentions to divide no further; they are already in a fertile and tempting enough of a substrate as it is.
But fear not.
While a future concerted effort will happen to bring the edited, expanded and enhanced books to mobile devices, The Devil’s Panties is now available in readily updated, automatically delivered bite sized chunks on the Kindle.
The first hit is always Free.

Monday I posted asking for excuses to flap mah yap. Without further delay, your mostly queries: ANSWERED.
montuos asks:
“…tell us something completely outrageous!”
The music… I am told it is contagious.
Boomer Goodheart asks:
“I would like to order a custom octo. How much, and how do I do it?”
Unfortunately I have pre-booked the lady’s commissions till at least the end of the year. In watching her work I noticed that she seldom gets a chance to experiment with her art, her tools or her characters. In the run-up to the heaviest part of the convention season she’s been using the usual Ustream time to make sure that the sacred space does not go empty during her absence. In the near future I hope the Ustreams become a more open ended activity where she can simply play without restrictions or expectations.
PurpleRanger asks:
“So, are you the one posting new strips this week?”
A soulless, unfeeling automaton is currently flinging pre-conjealed globules of joy onto the site. It and I are only remotely related.
James Hull asks:
“is she really as neurotic as she portays herself?”
*parry*
Aili asks:
“Is Jennie eating her vegetables?”
She has planted a garden. She has planted several gardens. They threaten the order of things with their incessant growing.
There is talk of revolt.
Jennie Breeden Asks:
“Um… What are you working on?”
My primary work streams can be summed up as follows:
– New hosting
Dreamhost has been a whole bunch of OK, however I think the site could use both extra power and more redundancy. My background in the hosting industry instinctually highlights the path NOT to take: A server on A rack in A datacenter. I’ve swapped out enough allegedly ECC RAM modules and supposedly RAIDs to know not to lead my dearest down Obvious Trap Lane.
An earlier experiment with TEH CLOUDS showed two things I already knew. That it was possible to host a webcomic on a cloud service and that I can’t code worth a crap.
So rather than re-implementing Comicpress in Python on App Engine(not to deride folks who have), I decided to take what already works and move it to Amazon Web Services.
More on that soon.
– Converting all book fulfillment to Amazon
Jennie spends way too much time doing things that don’t involve making people laugh. Packing, shipping, filling every crevice of our three story townhome with books, haggling at the post office… I don’t think this is her lot. Exposing her works to a bigger audience and allowing her more time to work on her comics is hardly an unideal situation.
Mari Huffman demands:
“Speak! Speak, good sir!”
Were I a vampire, and would what lay between us be a threshold, and would this be an invitation(it is), I would be grimly grinning(I am).

I did a guest strip that’s up at Something Positive
Every Wednesday night at 9:00pm EST I stream live video of an art project. I’ll be drawing on my computer for the next two Wednesdays (I won’t be streaming while at San Diego Comic Con, Otakon, and Gen con) over at my Ustream chanel There’s also some video’s of past paintings
Devil’s Panties Volume 5 should be in your local comic shop this Wednesday. If anyone’s feeling a little immobile or impatient, you can pick it up from Amazon as well:
Press refresh.
Then let me know if you find any glitches with the site.
