PLEASE, GODDAMNIT, ACTUALLY READ THE NEWSPOST… IT’S IMPORTANT!
So, if you didn’t read earlier when I updated my post from Thursday, I’m officially changing the update schedule of TWE. My reasoning, dear readers:

Reason one: My schedule at the Day Job has changed. Originally I would work a straight six days a week, this is no longer the case. I have two full days off, you know, like a normal person. The Sun, Tue, Thur updates worked great with my original hours, they didn’t with the extra time off. I wanted to optimally be on a Mon, Wed, Fri schedule, but I couldn’t muster it orignally. Now I can, so I’m doing it. It also gave me an excuse to update my header and link buttons… Thinking about shrinking them down, but not sold on it yet.

Other news. You bastards aren’t leaving enough comments on the other sites, damnit! Sorry, sorry… I know, loyalties and whatnot… We got a lot of great comics going now, and I would really like to see them all succeed. A few of them are coming up on some print work… And more excitingly, the same artists are going to be working on some comics that will be straight to print! I’m trying to encourage folks to be prolific, as to help the greater good for all of us. Anything that they produce, I publish… Means, I get to be a big bad publisher, and they get to be published artists… So far, no one can find any fault in those intentions.

Between Ratchet, AJ, and Erica we’re really starting to produce some great art, and those cats are working up some rad comic books for you to phyiscally read… you know, like on the can. So I encourage you, nay, I plead to you to go and support and read their comics. Any ego boost helps, and those girls are working overtime. But that ain’t all… Ian Bell (FackGerbil), handed me and our beloved editor, Deviation, a rough draft to a multi-book epic science fiction war drama… Like… A fucking novel, people… The fuck? Seriously! If that weren’t enough, Deviation has been shitting out scripts for comic books, one to Marlize (who has been working her lil cracker buns off pumping out coloring work for just about EVERYONE), and one getting worked up for Erica.

To top that off, August is Melissa’s first anniversary, and I’m going to release a compendium of MGB work, full of guest art and other stuff from across PPP spectrum. That’s going to be over 100 pages of comics and art, yo! She’s shown some isane progress as an artist, her work becomes more and more polished and her technique more and more realized, I’m really, really fucking proud of her.

Ian Gibbs hasn’t quit! We’ve postponed the launch date of his newest comic til June, because I’m buried and shit and so is he… It also gives him time to work up a assload of buffers, which is always helpful.

The Wife agreed to help out around PPP as well, bless her soul, the efficiency and orginizational expert that she is. She’ll be handling shipping for all the upcoming comic titles, as well as making sure the artists get paid on time. Yee haw, I’m intensely happy I don’t have to worry about that, and anything that involves lists and sticking to a date is intensely easy for her, where it is an uphill battle for me (which is why I get so fucked up when I screw up my updates or miss one, because it takes a lot of work to keep me on that schedule).

Now I just need to convince the Drawing Blanks boys to give me a 48 page comic about whatever the fuck it is they gotta say, which is frightening and random… Nearing almost the horrors of some of the same things I say in TWE.

Ahh… Shit, and finally… In a couple of months, I’ll be releasing a print version of Koala Krakdown. Again, chock full of bonus art and comics from our people, which is a bonus you’ll see quite often. None of the bonuses will be printed online, and only for release in the books… Seriously, I gotta give you SOMETHING for a comic that you already read for free. Hopefully I can muster the guster to work on a bonus comic that you can only see if you get it!

Also, I was thinking of doing a print Zine annually for all the TWE artists, where we compile a bunch of print only comics into a magazine and release it… Showcase our talents, etc. I want your opinions… C’mon, see what I can get for feedback. Especially from like the… Half dozen UK denizens that have returned to this comic scores of times but have refrained from talking… Yeah, I know I see you ‘Dude from Edinburgh’, say somethin.
