AWA – Page 100

all blue now

End of chapter announcements! First and foremost: if all goes well, updates will resume on August 13th. I’ll be traveling a little bit, so from August 2nd through the 4th orders won’t ship out from the shop (but you can still order urself a Sweet Poster during that time if you like!)

You might have noticed that the little Project Wonderful banner at the bottom of the site disappeared a couple weeks ago. PW closed its doors for good this month, which might not seem like a big deal to folks on the reader side of things but it’s a pretty big blow to us. They were one of the last advertising networks available to obscure indie comics like mine, and it’s another in a long line of spooky web developments for artists trying to make and deliver our own content the way we want. I’m saying this here on my own site but it goes for any indie work you’re into right now: it’s really REALLY important that if you enjoy someone’s stuff, you should spread the word! Frankly it’s out of the artist’s hands after a point: whether or not something takes off depends on its audience. Word of mouth is the best way to advertise, and no amount of yelling or link spamming I do can compare to a handful of enthusiastic fans sharing fanwork or excitedly recommending The Thing to their friends. As for me, sometime during the break I plan on replacing the old banner with my own where I’ll cycle through promos for webcomics I love, so give em a look! You can also find most of them on my links page right at this very moment.

If you wanna be informed about updates as soon as they happen, keep up with sketches, art, and other things I do, OR you just wanna hang out with some chill folks and chat about KC (or Hearthstone for some reason) join the Discord! Agatha is also there and she’ll even show you a cool bird picture if you ask her nicely. In a similar vein, if you’re looking for a Kidd Commander fix you can check out the community’s google drive full of fic and such, or if you’re feeling spry maybe add something to the wiki or the TVTropes page!

If Discord’s not your thing, you can keep up with the comic on:

Archive Binge
Twitter
Tumblr
Comic Chameleon
Belfry Webcomics
Piperka
Comic Rocket
…or the RSS feed, which is at the bottom of the page! You can also follow me on Mastodon, where I post art and comic junk much more frequently but is definitely used more as a personal account, so follow at your own risk.

Finally, if you’re enjoying what I do here, a gentle reminder that a dollar a month on Patreon reallyhelps me out. And you’ll get postcards and stickers from me! Neat!

Love y’all, see you soon <3

Sooo now Phin’s gonna find the solution.

This page actually spoke to me on a personal level. For a while now I’ve been privileged to be a part of the life of someone who has put away their feelings for years because they thought they didn’t have any other choice. Now that person has done the same to me by burying their feelings and shutting out me out of their lives, and it is interesting to see this insight into how such people work. “Dredging it all up without a solution is just cruel.”

Thanks for that. It gives me a new angle to see things from their perspective.

  aaa making a connection like that is always so cool. That sounds rough though, a lot of Agatha’s stuff is based on my own pretty personal things and I’m like, really happy so many people have found things to relate to in the story but also man everybody needs a hug haha. I’m glad I could give you something new to think about at least =)

    Oh yeah. Amazing experience. The rough part is watching them fall back into their old ways, but I guess in this instance I’m like Phin: “oh, okay, you don’t want me around. That’s fine. I will leave you alone.” *schemes day and night on how to fix it*
    
    Glad you’re enjoying sharing this with us. It’s been an amazing journey so far.

As always, Thank you for the art. Life isn’t always neat and in 52.4 minute packages. Sometimes you have to wallow in your own mediocrity to find your way. I don’t think the story will end here. Phin is not one to give up, but she just learned that being persistent sometimes has a cost. Methinks she will find the path. It is just that her special brand of madness is never linear. She’s down. But that gets her looking in new directions. Our little demon is going to surprise people who are expecting surprises.

Project wonderful was how I found most of the webcomics I really love. As a reader, I am sorry they are gone.

  I’ve been hearing this from readers all week and it sucks hhhh. I get mad all the time thinking about the good shit I’m missing out on just because they can’t afford to advertise.
