Hey everyone,

Due to working 40+ hours per week, along with the 25-30 hours per week spent on Koalacaust, I am going to change the update schedule so I can get ahead. I’ve been staying up late to make sure I got comics done and it’s affecting my sleep as well as the quality of my work on the comic and my day job.

You guys are coming back to keep reading, and you should see good art. I hate it when I look back at a comic and see a ton of flaws I could have easily avoided if I wasn’t tired. For this reason, I am altering the update schedule of Koalacaust to be Tuesdays and Fridays. Monday/Thursday is kind of crowded, so I’ll go with this one.

My plan is to only keep this schedule until 2009. By that time, I should be at least a month ahead, and that will give me a chance to continue improving my work. I really hate sacrificing quality just to hit a deadline that I have complete control over. This will help me improve the consistency of my characters(mostly because I’ll have more time to practice in between comics than I do now), improve the overall quality of the art and just make Koalacaust a better comic to recommend to your friends.

The comic is not ending. The comic is not going on hiatus. The comic will start with the new update schedule next Tuesday morning. If I am able to get far enough ahead(and with the big winter break my office gives everyone, this is VERY likely) I plan to start the M/W/F schedule back up on Friday, January 2.

To sum up: M/W/F update schedule is gone until 2009. A Tuesday/Friday update schedule will be adhered to until 2009.

You’ll Thank Me Later.

I was unhappy with two of the panels and the colors just didn’t turn out right . It wasn’t up to snuff, basically. It will be up sometime this evening after I do a better job on it.

Chapter Two ends on Friday, then we have some Character Sheets and Location Sheets that will give you better insight into the happenings of the Koalacaust Universe and why these characters act the way they do.

You’ll Thank Me Later.

As some of you may know, Koalacaust is digitally produced in every step except concept sketches and thumbnail sketches. That means the pencils, inks and colors are all digital.

I drew this latest late one on paper(not good paper like Bristol Board, Volume 2 will be, though) because my eyes were hurting from looking at a computer screen all day at work and I still wanted you guys to get a comic. I spent Tuesday evening cleaning the picture up and will get it up for you as soon as possible.

My schedule has been terrible. It’s downright pathetic, and I am aware of that. Fortunately, I am taking steps to get ahead for 2009. By the time that year rolls around, I’ll be way ahead! People will link to my site and everything.

Seriously. That’s the real deal, right there.

Don’t delete my bookmark! If you’re pissed that I’ve not updated as consistently as promised, you have every reason to be, but come back in a month or so. Punish me by not visiting for a while! Don’t punish both of us by never planning to return! Chapter 3 will have started by mid-November, and what’s to come will be worth it.

To my loyal friends that keep coming back just because we’re friends and you’re bored… Thanks. We both know how damn good looking you are, with those charming features and well-placed bookmarks.

No Tag Line Until I Post the New Comic, Damn It.
