Luke looks unruffled after the blast because he’s a Messenger and isn’t necessarily bound to the same physical nonsense as everyone else. Like getting dirty. The perks of being dead.

There’s a new preview panel for the next page available on the forum. All you have to do is register to view it!

In general news, I’ve fiddled with the RSS feed to fix something, and if you use it to follow the comic you may or may not have issues with it. If you stop receiving the feed, delete it and re-subscribe. If you have no idea what this means, don’t worry about it because you’re probably not using it.

I’ve made an update to the RSS feed, which means that it might stop working for you. (Hopefully it won’t!) If it does, delete it from your reader and re-subscribe and it should be ok.

If you follow via the feedburner feed, use this URI: http://feeds.feedburner.com/messenger_comic

And if you subscribe via email, you may have to sign up again since I have no way to port existing email subscriptions to the new thingamabob:

There’s supposed to be an automated warning coming to feed readers in the next two weeks to remind you about the switch, but we’ll see if that actually happens or not. Meanwhile, I’m warning you. :B

Sorry for any confusion! D:

Remember, the new schedule for the comic is Wednesdays and Saturdays! You can also get a sneak peek at upcoming pages when you register for the forums!

A couple of other bits of interest:

- My friend Pomp of the sometimes-a-comic Lunavis is doing crazy dirt cheap commissions! If you’re looking for custom character art or almost anything else, Pomp is your artbro.

- I’ve updated the links list to include a relatively new comic made by two of my friends: WaMoH! I helped put the site together, so you should check it out.

That’s basically it for now. Check back on Saturday for more, and thanks for reading!

Last year I got a job doing pretty much exactly the kind of work I’ve always wanted to do. This is good. However, being a creative sort of work, it made it so that the last thing I wanted to do after I got home every night was do more creative work. This is bad. I’ve half started new pages about a dozen times over the past few months, and gotten nowhere. What changed? I’m not sure. But I’m tired of not doing comics and artwork for myself, so I’m going to make time and start again.

I haven’t decided what the schedule will be yet, but probably once a week for a while until I can knock the rust off my comic-drawing hand.
