Blank It

As we’re sure you’ve noticed by now, there has been a bit of a constant delay with the comics. This is due to a lot of real life situations eating time like…monsters…that eat time. Time monsters. So, rather than be “constantly late,” we’re making a temporary move to publishing Blank It once a week on Tuesdays.

THIS IS TEMPORARY! Relax! Thing will settle (i.e. babies) and time will be restored to its rightful place. We’ll be back to two comics a week soon enough.

Thank you for bearing with us. We’d rather put out a quality project at a manageable pace than a shoddy product at a speedy pace. If twice a week can be called “speedy.” Look, we’re getting away from the topic at hand.

Maybe this will tide you over for this Thursday.

Thanks everyone. We will not abandon you! The adventures continue!

Quick note, my art computer is unavailable to me tonight, so I’ll need to finish the comic tomorrow. I have a new desktop being constructed, hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll be back to full capacity. Who knows, maybe with a new tablet you folks are so generously helping me afford. Thanks for all the orders, I’ll get them shipped next week. If you haven’t ordered something, do it now and I’ll make sure it gets in the mail with the rest of the orders.

Update: Monday’s comic will be up later once it’s colored. I’m considering just making Tueday/Friday the norm, we’ll have a chat with Aric maybe.

Lemmo here. You guys and me, we have a cordial, albeit informal relationship. Let me welcome you into my inner sanctum for a moment.

Let’s be clear. What we do here isn’t a charity, but it is still an act of artistic expression and a perpetual passion. I’ll draw comics until the day I die, whether you support them or not. But to be fair, sometimes our projects, like potted flowers, need some water to grow. And by water, I mean dollars.

I’ve hit a glass ceiling with my art, and it’s high time I move to a fully digital medium. So I’m investing my own personal money into a new tablet. I’m putting my money into Blank It with no expectation of returns other than quality. But you are in a unique position, as you can put less money into Blank It and get even more out of it!

Go into our Blank It merch store and pick out a shirt or two, maybe some hand juice, and by all means, get the book if you haven’t already. They’re wonderful. All proceeds go right back into this beloved project, allowing us to create more, better. And as we said, we’re not making those shirt designs again, so when you get it, you get pure “old school” bragging rights.

I look at every order myself. And if you order with love, I’m going to cram your order with freebies. I still have posters and Captain Phenomenal books from conventions that I’m more than happy to give out to people who pitch in. I have piles of original art panels, I’m just going to start signing and putting into orders. Get some swag, help Aric and I fund our growth, and of course, you’ll always continue to get more out of it as the project lives on.

Or hell, just donate. We love you either way.

Hey folks, the comic will be late, I don’t have the time to finish it tonight. I’ll wrap it up and get it posted tomorrow. In the meantime, I do suggest brushing up on the archives, since we’re going to be bringing back some familiar things shortly. Gotta keep sharp!

Update: I’m just running a day behind this week, I’ll update the next comic before Friday.

We’d like to welcome everyone who is new to Blank It. It’s nice to see you!

Okay, enough pleasantries. Blank It really benefits from word of mouth. So please, if you have the time and the gumption, spread the word. IM, TXT, message boards, Facebook, Twitter, hand shakes. Whatever.

Tell friends and strangers about Blank It. We’ll be eternally grateful. That’s right. Eternally. And eternity is a long long time. Don’t you want gratefulness for eternity? Feels pretty good.
