Upcoming Return from Hiatus & Multi-Page Comics
Hi folks! How are you? I’m fine. I’m back from my trip and I’m back to work drawing IT HURTS!!
I wanted to let you guys know that I’m going to be making changes to how I release multi-page comics from now on. From time to time, I’ll release a comic that’s unusually long. Examples: comic 100, Ally killing The Hellbeast, Pasqualo vs The Principal, Belch Rainbow Extravaganza. These comics are super fun to release, but they are a lot of work and they put a strain on me trying to maintain my “comic release buffer.”
The reason I bring this up is the next comic that I’m working on. As you may guess, the next comic is a confrontation between Pasqualo and Momsqualo. It was originally going to be a comic that’s 5 pages long. When I was storyboarding it (I’m actually storyboarding this one), I had to talk to Josef my best friend / editor / advisor because even after 5 pages it felt “abbreviated” to me. I was dreading adding more pages because that would mean that I’d have to complete a 7-8 page comic and then have even more updates lined up beyond the “return day.” Unfortunately these days I don’t have the time to pull something awesome off like that 🙁
So anyway, I came up with a solution. Instead of compromising the story, I’ll be changing the release format for this comic and other extra long comics. Instead of dumping all the pages at once for one mega-update, I’ll do it page-by-page, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting October 12. Again, this is just for this long comic and other comics that are similarly long.
As for the long-term, after this Mom VS Pasq confrontation, we’ll probably be back to jokey joke 1-shot comics for a bit until we wander into the next part of the story I have planned.
It’s good to be back to work! Thank you for being awesome, guys. And as always, if you have any thoughts and stuff, please leave a comment and I’ll give you some e-kisses.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
Oh fug I knew what it was without clicking
Just for that, we’re renovating that special corner of hell just for you.
Would you consider compiling those big updates back into a single page down the line for archive readers? The ones we’ve gotten so far “read” as one page, and I think that helps a lot with the pacing. It comes across as everything happening at once, it’s a big single “oh shit” moment instead of many little moments.
Right, yeah, I was thinking about that. I think that’s what I’ll end up doing. It’ll be like “331 page 1 331 page 2” etc until the comic is complete then when I start the next comic I’ll put all the pages on one update for neatness’ sake.
Assuming your multi-page comics won’t go longer than 26 pages, you could use a lettering system like “331a, 331b” ect.
I could do that, yeah. I’ll definitely do something similar for the initial updates them squish them to one update when it’s complete.
My reason for the post-completion squish is because it’d look neater in the comic archive 😉
Neatliness is next to Gobliness, after all.
Don’t thank me for being awesome! I don’t slave over a hot toilet all day formulating shitposts so you can appreciate me! I’m a mean guy! A big mean asshole! I’ll…I’ll show you one day..!
Somebody needs their e-smooches :* :* :*
