Sorry again for the scant update, folks. Anyway, I hope this one was worth the wait. I think it turned out nice. Hopefully I'll be back to regular updates soon.

hey, folks. Sorry it has been so ridiculously long since the last update. I've been buried under work plus my girlfriend came to visit for a week. Sorry again and thanks for your support!

Sorry for the slow updates. I have been so swamped with work I haven't had time to even SIT, let alone anything else. Sorry, folks. I have been sketching though. I really feel the urge to draw, I've just not had the time unfortunately. Hopefully I can manage to get something up soon. Sorry again.

argh. Sorry for the lack of updates but I've been unable to make painter work on Mother's computer. Once I get it working, the comics will resume as scheduled. Sorry. >.<

Sorry that the comic is late. It is indeed finished (and pretty good if I do say so) but I am unable to upload it at the moment due to issues on my end >.< It should be up shortly. Sorry.

and we're back. Sorry about that there but I didn't get my comics done in time for Spring Break, where I was without internet for the week. So yeah, I'm a little bit behind now but its ok.

hey all, sorry the comic was late. I just decided to go to bed insted of working on it. Anyway, naturally I'm interested in knowing what everyone thought of Friday's panel - and all my panels - so let me know if you like! I've rearranged the panels I had planned out a little for somewhat better flow. I think its for the better.

New comic today, naturally. I'm returning to Chief Ribauld and Maggie for a couple days to wrap that up (if only temporarily) before the story will move onward. I have officially changed the title of the comic to "The Super Peoples!" because I have not reached the "Hammer of God" portion of the story and, the way the plot is mapped out to me right now, won't for several more months. So I've gotten tired of seeing that old title when it didn't apply as much. If you are unaware, the Hammer of God portion of the story was actually partially written a while ago, and the art style was different. I put the comic off for a while and ruminated on it and when I returned, I had developed a different art style and decided on a different story direction. And there is alot of plot stuff that I have in mind and I just don't want to move onto the Hammer of God stuff before it. Thanks for understanding. And thanks always for your support!

hey, sorry. I don't know why my by-line is missing from the front page. Something is wrong with the code or something. I can't quite figure it out. Its not like Comic Genesis ever works right or anything. I feel like I am so far behind.

Hey folks, sorry that Monday's comics have been late every Monday for the past couple weeks. Been really tied up with work all of a sudden, but I'll be done with that by the end of the week. Thanks for reading!

Well, Mr. Straub's odyssey of Blamimation continues as a new Checkerboard Nightmare Blamimation episode is posted at the brand-new Blamimation site. I know that I normally applaud Mr. Straub's comic genius but I feel especially obligated here. This cartoon is bang-on. Both subtle and outrightly hilarious; simply hilarious. Of course, I did see Hostel last night so that helped. But bravo, Mr. Straub. I know I mentioned it befor, but I think this Blamimation is good step toward the future and I look foreward to more with great anticipation.

Also of note is the interesting service for putting webcomics on your iPod.

Mr. Kurtz and Mr. Straub apparently are buddies (well, they are in my mind where all the famous people I admire are really friends, like the Justice League or something) and so, they've been working together to create new flash animations which they are calling Blamimation or something like that, and they're just fantastic. If ever there was a valuable meeting of the minds, this is it. Two fertile comedic geniuses coming together to create something really funny, is just great. Seems that they're excited about this project and the community is really jazzed too so maybe this will be some new ground that can forged. I'm not wholly certain that I whould want to venture into this field, it was very difficult to get me going even on the webcomic. However, I think there is a lot of promise here and animating Superpeoples whould be a very interesting possibility.

Happy New Year! The road goes ever onward, as they say....Also, new Checkerboard Nightmare, in which Mr. Straub pokes fun at Modern Tales - a site that I abhor.
Well, I probably shouldn't but I'm going to take this "opportunity" to complain, like always. Its ok though cause my opinions don't really matter as much, so you can ignore me completely if you don't agree. Eric, of Radioactive Panda, has taken to complaining about Mr. Kurtz, and I almost feel obligated to stand up for Mr. Kurtz, not that he needs my help. Well, on the other hand, Mr. Kurtz seems to almost invite these battles; he's just as opinioned as everyone else. Anyway, Eric contends that Mr. Kurtz is out of line, and that Mr. Kurtz is doing nothing to improve his style etc. To me, though, Mr. Kurtz just has his style. You know, whatever works for you. So - in defense of Mr. Kurtz's non-improvement - Mr. Kurtz doesn't have to improve his style, its not like the comic is stagnateing. A portion of webcomics is in text, for sure, and as long as Mr. Kurtz's comics are entertaining to read the style doesn't have to change. I really can't contend that Mr. Kurtz isn't an ass, though, but I will say that he's not any better or any worse than most people. He's an ass, but so are the rest of us.

Amazingly, Mr. Straub responded to me again! You can read his comment and my response by scrolling down to December 19 2005's post. I'm really elated that he offered such encouraging words to me and means alot to me. I don't know, its really encouraging that someone that high up on the webcomics ladder whould take time out for me. Further, its really nice to hear such things when stupid fucking Keenspace co. decides that all the keenspace.com domains need to go away and I have hassle with adjusting all my page code so that it conforms to the new comicgenesis domain. So like, if you're links are suddenly broken and/or the page looks odd, I'm sorry and I'm working on it as fast as I can. I hope the page survives the new year in one piece. Thanks Mr. Straub. You've made my day when keenspace co. tried to ruin it.
