This week's strip

Post by Durandal »

Just so everyone knows, I'm very seriously considering giving this up. I enjoy working on the comic and getting feedback from everyone, but I put a good deal of work into these things, and $10-a-pop just doesn't justify the amount of work that goes into one of these, much less the minuscule amount I get after Uncle Sam rapes my paycheck. I just got more hours at my other job, and it pays well enough that I don't need the small amount of extra income this gives me.

I may do one more, farewell strip, but I don't see the point. I might start back up again, so if I stop, I'll stop with this one.

$10 a pop?? They're great and I'd miss them, but I can understand.

And Eleas, that avatar is disturbing. I love it. ;)

Hey, the Kiss poster :) Cool.

I'd be sad to see this go though.

Still awaiting. If that actually happened, I'd be more willing to keep the comic up.

My section guy just E-mailed me and basically told me that they didn't want to lose the strip and that he'd talk to some people about the money situation.

It's nice to be loved. :)

We appreciate them, but I can certainly sympathize with a reluctance to put more time into a virtually non-profit enterprise :)

Thats why you go with the "Intaglble Benfits Line"

IE- Your more well know on Campus! Meaning your more likley to score! Heck I would pay money to get the chance you have!
(I worked on a Campus newspaper once and thats the line I got when I asked if I could kindly be payed on time not a week late every week and only for the previous week's pay not this weeks...)

That's a nice poster in the background :twisted: .

Hope you don't give up, these are quite good.

That was my plan originally. I figured "Eh, $10, but everyone reads this fuckin' thing, so I get to tell chicks I do the only good student-made comic in the paper."

I'd hoped to be at the point where I was granting guest appearances in exchange for sexual favors. Sadly this has not happened.
