Good morning, everyone.

I have no honest news, so you will have to excuse me, and entertain this plug instead.

We’re doing a bit of online advertising, and I’m happy to say all of our numbers are up, and our readership is steadily growing. Hello and welcome to all the new faces out there, glad you could join us!

Now we need your help.

We do not do any paid advertising, we do everything here for free and we like to keep it that way. So we need your help in order to make our comic grow. See that little vote box up there? Every time you click that bad boy it puts us up another vote for the Web’s Top Webcomic. The highest we’ve ever been is #147, and we would like to beat that. Last month we wound up around #200. This month, let’s shoot for the top 100!

We cannot do this without your help.

Now you ask, why is this important? Well, aside from making us feel pretty good about ourselves, the higher our rank, the more free press we get from TWC. People will notice us, surf on over, vote to see the side sketchies, the cycle continues.

So vote early, vote often, pilgrims. You have our eternal gratitude.

It’s been a while, but we’re still here.

Good morning, fellows. Especially those from Russia and the Balkans, which we seem to become very popular with this month. Privyet, good to see you.

There are a few news bits today, first of which is that you should all check out our links tab: we have a few new friends over there, a few really kickin’ comics! Give them a skim, if you have time.

Also, two of my personal favorites have status changes - Dovecote Crest has finished its first story arc and it is simply too adorable. If you haven’t read it, now is a good time as they are on guest art hiatus. Second is that Lovecraft is Missing is coming back from it’s hiatus on May 27th, be there, or be an equilateral rectangle.

The next piece of news, following my penchant for geek culture movie reviews,  is that I went and saw the Wolverine movie (I have yet to see Star Trek, that is next, don’t worry).

What can I say about this movie? It was… pretty gosh darn terrible. It had halfway done cinematography, no story continuity with the comic, too many random cameos that did not make any sense, and a script so bad I could have knocked a can of alphabet soup off the table and had a better finished draft written on my floor. But you know what? It was definitely watchable. One does not approach this type of thing with high expectations: I went to see Hugh Jackmanangst about his past and blow up half the Canadian landscape, and that is what I got. So if you’re into that kind of thing, go to see it. Just don’t get angry over what they did to Deadpool.

Alright onto happier topics: What ho! Did Neil Gaiman and Craig Russell make a graphic novel out of Coraline? Why yes, they did. How fantastic! Let’s all go see what that’s about.

Oh, and the last bit, check out the credits on this week’s page - two of our designers made cameos, and they will pop up again. See if you can find them a couple of pages from now.

That’s all, see you next week.
