Next Page Delayed to February 9

on January 31, 2021 at 2:00 am
Posted In: Site News

[UPDATE 2/7: I’ll need one more day to finish the page. Last week left me with very little time to do any art. This is the final delay.]

There are some elements of page 276 that haven’t been coming together right, so I’m taking an extra week to rework the page.

In the meantime, I’m progressing the chapter behind the scenes by doing more concept sketches and drawing a page that’s already fully planned out, which is going more smoothly than page 276, and will eventually save time in the long run by giving me a little buffer the week we reach that page!

Hope to see you back here next week.

UTC Vol. 1 Revised

on December 8, 2020 at 1:00 pm
Posted In: Site News, UTC Books

I’ve issued a new edition of the Volume 1 trade paperback (now the 3rd edition). This version removes some insensitive content in the book that was both misogynistic and racist. Effective now, both the print-on-demand and digital PDF editions have been updated.

While no one has actually told me they’ve found the content offensive, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t hurt anyone out there. I’ve finally realized the only correct thing to do is remove it.

The only page from the book that’s also viewable on this site has already been updated in the archive. That’s found here.

I was wrong for including this content in the book in the first place and for ever thinking it was funny. I’m sorry that I took over a decade to acknowledge and take meaningful action to address this, and I’m sorry for the hurt I’ve caused those who read it.

If you click this link, it will take you to itch.io, where the digital book is currently available for free. Go ahead and grab a fresh new copy if you’re so inclined. (You’ll see a suggested payment pop-up when you click the download button. Just click “No thanks” to skip through this.)

Any reader who finds content in my work that causes discomfort is more than welcome to contact me. (My email is in the menu bar.) I want to tell stories that everyone can enjoy wholeheartedly, and I’m always trying to change for the better.

Thank you.

Chapter 13 Begins December 21

on December 7, 2020 at 1:00 pm
Posted In: Site News

Salutations! I’ve started working on the pages for the next chapter. Things are going well so far, so I’m confident in announcing that the first page will land on December 21. (December 20 for Patreon early access members)

I also finished prepping the pages for Chapter 12 for the printed book, which will be available on Indy Planet, probably after Christmas. I made some fixes to the pages of Jen’s chapter that had been bugging me for a while. The most significant is that Trom is now pulling on the power cord of the soup cooker instead of the tablecloth, which a reader on deviantArt pointed out would be a safety hazard.

(Although, with a kid like Trom in the house, pretty much everything is a safety hazard.)

Next Chapter Update

Posted In: Site News

Now that Chapter 12 is finished, UTC will take a little time off as I finish up writing the script to Chapter 13 and start drawing the pages. I’m aiming to have the story ready to start releasing in December. There will be another update when I have an exact date.
