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!

Wednesday

Bugbyte — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:00:04 +0000

Welcome to the new Wednesday/Saturday schedule! From here on, Messenger will update on Wednesdays and Saturdays, pending disaster and/or artist burnout. It seems about as evenly spaced as you can get doing two pages a week, anyway. If the next update seems too far off for you, registering for the forums will unlock preview panels for upcoming pages!

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!

10-19: blast

Oh, hello there.

Bugbyte — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:13:29 +0000

I’m back! No, I’m not dead. No, I haven’t quit. I just needed an extended break I didn’t realize I needed, nor did I realize how extended it had actually gotten.

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.

10-18: the longest wait

This is important.

Hi guys! Comics are on the way soon, but in the meantime, I have something I’d like to share, which is especially important if you’re American. This video does a pretty good job of summarizing, so I’ll just leave this here:

Have a couple of articles as well:
Ars Technica: House takes Senate’s bad Internet censorship bill, tries to make it worse
SOPA: Hollywood Finally Gets A Chance to Break the Internet

And lastly, this infographic is pretty handy and easily linkable for sharing with others. Click here!

Get to it. Write or call your representatives and let them know what a total load of bullshit this is.

Ugh.

I probably ought to have conceded defeat a while ago on this one, but I’m taking a break. Work has been crazy and I’ve had a zillion things going on that have seriously cut into my drawing time. Maybe I ought to just take a month off from comics every summer, since that’s where I always seem to schedule slip.

New pages will start up on September 5, 2011. Sorry for the long wait! That said, if anybody wants to do any kind of filler art for between now and then, I’d gladly put it up on the main page.

Thanks for your patience, and see you in September!

Podcasting today on the Webcomic Beacon!

Just a silly reminder that I’m going to be talking about comics, watercolors, and making comics with watercolors today on the Webcomic Beacon! You can tune in live at 12 PM EST to listen in as I make a fool of myself all over the internet. They’ll also have an archived version up you can download afterwards. Should be a good time.

Also: apologies for the late pages. I have them halfway to complete, and I’m hoping to have them up tonight. Real life is awesome, but also time-consuming, unfortunately.
