Some news:
The release schedule will shift slightly. Each page will still be released every 2 weeks; however, due to the delay of this page, the next page will be released July 6th, a Monday.
Work for the other pages that remain in this chapter is underway and is expected to maintain that schedule. There are 3 remaining pages to this chapter, though I'm contemplating adding another 1 or 2 (the ending that I have scripted so far is sufficient, but a little abrupt.)
After this chapter is complete, I'll be taking a long break to go back and make corrections to previous pages, as well as other miscellaneous edits. (Some personal events have occurred since the comic's launch in 2015, so some changes are needed to compensate.)
The long break after this chapter's completion will also be used to review the script for, and draft up, the next chapter, as well review the drafts and tighten them up. If time allows, some pages may be sketched ahead of time to better prepare a backlog.
I am also reviewing my funds. With current events in the world, I'm carefully considering my options. Sadly, my printer-scanner is no longer supported by its manufacturer, and while I have been using it as a scanner, I'm looking to upgrade to a newer model. Thankfully, the potential purchase would be much more affordable than when I first bought the current printer! A fundraising effort, or goal, shouldn't be necessary.
I will also be removing the links to the character submission forms on the website. As of now, the comic has as many cameos as I feel comfortable including. I will continue to consider new additions, though I'm looking for specific criteria to make the cast more diverse.
Lastly, I discovered that someone had been leaking my Patreon submissions on to various other websites. I don't appreciate this. I won't be releasing the art files used to create these pages as a result. I am also reconsidering releasing the high-resolution versions of these pages. I'm worried someone may decide to reprint what I post and sell it without my permission.
I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding, as well and enjoyment and contributions to this comic! I will release a special page as a celebration to all of you during the long break.
