It’s come to our attention that the Contact page auto-emailer isn’t working. We recently were moved to a new server and the emailer seems to be having trouble with the new settings. We’ll try to get it addressed as quickly as possible… so if you’ve been trying to send an email, please bear with us!

These sketches were drawn about the same time as last week’s sketches – shortly before the comic began running in ’06. (Holy crap has it been that long already?!) I’d been playing around with Joel’s hair, trying to figure out what I was going to do with his bangs, and I think I pushed a little too far… On the other hand, Dustin hasn’t changed much, and is that an early version of Victor? Nice striped sweater, dude. (Actually, I think it’s supposed to be a strange black band atop a fishnet shirt. Not really sure what that was all about! Glad I settled on Victorian-goth for him – it suits his long hair better.)

Whew! Been a while that I posted something straight from the sketchbook, and since I’m in the middle of a move, I dug out some of my old, old sketchbooks and found some VERY early concept sketches of Abbie and Sarah. As you can see, their designs haven’t changed much, except for Abbie’s pigtails. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted them both to look like, and that hasn’t changed over the years!! There wasn’t a date on this particular sketch, but the sketchbook was from 2006!

PUN WEEK!!!! Prepare the brain bleach – I’ve got some good (bad?) ones this time.

ALSO!! It is the LAST DAY of the Book 5 Kickstarter, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, you only have a few hours to do so!!!!

Ok guys!! Thanks for sticking with me through this storyline! It’s sparked some great conversations in the comments. (Thank so much you guys for being super awesome and civil in there – you’re the best!)

But, it’s time to crank the drama down, at least for a week or so. We’ll pick back up after the break to see what some of the aftermath of this breakup is, but for next week we’re going to have another D&D interlude. After all the SRS WRITING I’ve been doing, I have a backlog of terrible D&D puns I need to get off my chest.

Remember – Monday is the last day of the Book 5 Kickstarter, so if you were going to get your hands on the book or any of the sweet swag we’ve got, then there’s only 4 days left!!!
