Comic in limbo

The Comic Genesis update que seem to be jammed. Todays comic will apear as soon as someone kicks the server.

You Rock!

Well there is a lot going on today. To start off with, we got a new site design. I was getting a lot of complaints that people couldn’t use the menu system and the layout got all messed up on the larger comic pages. So I took the weekend to redesign the site. There is still some minor things that need to be tweaked such as the donation bar but all and all and I pleased with the new look.

We get another early post this week thanks to the diligent effort of Studio Boom. Next week we are back to the normal Thursday update schedule. This week all of the ad space I have been buying lined up on Tuesday so I moved things up.

Speaking of money you guys have been awesome! We are up $128 in donations and it is only the 8^th. If you keep this up we will definitely break even and might even reach the 2 comics per week cut off point. I feel so honored that so many of you care enough about this comic to donate money. I really appreciate the all small donations that have been made. While big donations are great the fact that a people are willing to chip in a $5 here and there makes this a real community effort. And that’s what makes doing this comic so much fun.

Now some of you can’t give money right now and I understand that. So I am starting a new program: “Links for Wallpapers”. If you post a link to this comic somewhere on the web and let me know about it I will send you a wallpaper of your choice. I will also put the linking site over in the Featured Links section on the main page for a week. Ad space costs money so linking to the site is the same as donating money.

Last thing I want to mention is this concept of community. Some of my best ideas come from you guys. I have also met a number of people I now call friends though this comic. I want to hear from you. You see that forum link on the top of the page? Click on it and give your input. You guy are paying for this comic so should have a voice in it’s creation.

The End is Near

Well I am putting this weeks comic up early in an attempt to get some draft on the voting sites. Your votes would be much appreciated. This week I am trying a major ad campaign in an attempt to get more readers.

Why the push? Well it is one last desperate attempt to keep the comic running. Money unfortunately has become and issue. I have had a number of unexpected expenses as of late that are making it harder to keep paying Studio Boom. I have enough cash for 8 more comic and then I will be forced to shut things down.

The comic won’t disappear, just be put on hiatus while I save up for a couple of months. I could draw it my self but honestly Studio Boom has put a very unique stamp on the comic that I rather like. If there is anyway to keep the comic going with them as artist over my sub-standard works, I would much prefer that option.

So this brings us to the begging portion of this post. I need you the reader’s help to keep things going. I am going to work on some ideas to drum up donations but in the end it is you’re going to decide the fate of this comic. You don’t have to donate a lot. If only 10% of the readership donated $2 we would have enough cash to run this comic for a year. I really appreciate any support you can give.

Whatever happens I feel really lucky to have been able to work with an artist as kick but as Studio Boom and to get a chance to bring my ideas to such a beautiful life. And I really appreciate all of you that showed up each week to read the random raving of my mind. You guys are the best.
