Dana and mine’s meeting of the minds went well this weekend. We completed two scripts, both of which I think turned out much stronger than if I had written them alone (which is how it used to go down). I’m not sure when they’ll be up, but I’m guessing sometime in Jan. I know I promised sometime in Dec., but between my sickness and starting a new job, it just wasn’t going to happen. I apologize for the delay, and vow that it will be worth the wait.

And by that I mean there will probably be comics with swears in them.

Good swears. The fun kind. Not the kind you whisper under your breath, crying, while you remember your middle-school soccer days.

Once the updates start rolling in again, they will probably start coming in a much slower pace. Dana and I have decided to focus on putting out the best comics we possibly can, rather than adhere to an arbitrary update schedule. It’s pretty early in our new creative process to say with certainty, but we’re currently getting a comic up every 2 weeks. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but that’s the idea.

WIth the longer production time, here are some things that we’re planning on adding to the comic:

• A new art style (maybe)
• Color (probably)
• Writing that isn’t horrible (god yes, please hurry)
• Comics that are funny (fingers crossed)
• This is second consecutive bulleted list I’ve used in a news post (Radness)

I’ll be working on the site a bit in the next few days, so if the site looks like it’s on fire, don’t worry. It’s just me running around with a pack of matches.

Love and Plasmids,

The anticipated December relaunch approaches! Sort of! I am heading up to visit her this weekend and hammer out the beginnings of our glorious rebirth. Even though Dana has been sick and I’m an idiot, I’m expecting a productive weekend. However, I’m also expecting the following:

• Dana and I are probably going to eat some doughnuts
• Gossiping about boys? HELL YES.
• Arguing over the best dinosaur

So, what I’m saying is, no promises about production.

Seriously though, I do want to thank everyone who has been visiting the site over the hiatus. We’ve had a (relative) ton of traffic, and Dana and I are vastly grateful for everyone’s time and kind words.

Look out behind you,

-Mike

Dana is in New Zealand, a known lazurous pit for the Wulfekotte Clan, coming back I guess in another week or so.  When she returns, I will probably head up to visit her the weekend after or so (unless that’s Thanksgiving, then it’ll be the weekend after), and shore up plans for the relaunch. I may fuss with the site a little bit in the meantime to try and make it not so hilariously ugly, but I also may decide to sleep all weekend, so I guess we’ll see what happens.

All my loaf,

M to the C

Research is the bane of all writers, moreso than slaughter-poles or Tory virgins. . .

They also turned Bigweed into a rapping, anime donkey.

You should probably read the wiki too, if you want to know all the really sad details.

Otherwise, Stepdad Bill looks like he’s a pretty clean-cut guy.

The Captain Planet/Captain Pollution fight would probably also be highly rad.

Obviously since I was basically unconscious for two weeks, I’m a little behind on my writing for the relaunch, but we’re still basically on target for a late-December restart.

Thanks to everyone for reading and the kind comments,

Mike
