Page 345 has been pushed back to Thursday, February 16. (February 15 for Early Access patrons.) Apologies for the late notice on this schedule change.

Over the last few weekends, I’ve steadily been updating the site archive and re-uploading the Phase Two chapters in a slightly larger resolution. The pages were originally released at 700 pixels wide, in keeping with the website layout at the time. With Phase Three, I reformatted the site to accommodate pages 750 pixels wide.
As of now, all of Phase Two has been resized to match Phase Three. I plan to do the same for Phase One and the mini-comic “Sister” over the coming weekends. (I’ve been working backwards from the more recent pages so that anyone browsing the archives during this transition will see a “clean” switch from small older pages to big newer pages, instead of starting with bigger pages, then seeing smaller pages, then seeing bigger again.)
I’m not changing the content of the pages. The strip-formatted pages from Chapters 1 and 2 will remain strips. They will just have their upper and lower textual elements removed. (Series title, logo, strip number, strip date, and strip title.) Those parts are redundant, since all of that info is present on the webpage itself nowadays.

The next UTC page is going to need some extra time to finish. Instead of Monday, it will go public on Wednesday, January 25. (Early Access patrons will see it on Tuesday the 24th.)
Also, while we’re here, I’ll mention that there will not be a UTC page on the week of January 30. In the past two years, when UTC was updating on a weekly basis, I made it a policy to release 4 pages each month, even if the month had 5 Mondays. The 30th will be the fifth Monday, so I will take next week to catch my breath.
The release calendar has been updated, as always whenever there’s a schedule change.
Exactly what it says in the title. I was slammed with several hours of unexpected overtime this week, and that ate into the time I could spend finishing next Monday’s new page. I meant to get it done early in the week, because I’m out of town this weekend. (Actually posting this from my hotel room… I had SO LITTLE SPARE TIME this week, it’s not funny.)
Thank you for rolling with these delays, everyone.
UPDATE 12/12: The page was just finished and uploaded to Patreon at 2:00am Monday morning for Early Access subscribers. It will go live here at 2:00am Tuesday, December 13. I’m immediately starting work on the next page to make sure it goes out on schedule next Monday.
Page 334 of UTC was supposed to go up Monday, since that was the 3rd Monday of September. Obviously, it didn’t. I lost track of things.
I’m sorry I wasn’t more on the ball with the new release schedule. The page will go up next Monday. I’ll focus on sticking to the proper schedule for pages 335 and 336 on October 3 and 17, respectively.
