For Your Perusal

I broke the site for about a half hour, there. Sorry about that! I’m having RAM issues on my server, and I’m not sure what’s causing them. I don’t actually track the traffic here, so I don’t know if I’m having a hotlinking issue or what. I was trying to set up the server-level tracking and I broke the site for a little while.

I think I’ve got it all in hand, now, at least!

Just a little update

Hi all, just a small update to let you know I’m still slowly plugging away at this. I’m hoping to have updates starting back up in September, but time is a fickle thing and we’ll see how that goes.

I ended up not getting much done in the first half of this year, after kind of burning out finishing Old Souls in December. I’m currently about four pages away from having the rest of DMaDC completely written, after my lovely wife Crystal and my old pal Steve helped me nail down the ending that has been giving me trouble for the last week and a half.

Thanks for still checking in! You can always follow Jonny on Twitter if you want to know immediately when updates happen: @jonnycrossbones

You could also follow me but I gripe about US politics most of the time so it might not be much fun.

Update!

Hi all, just posting real quick to let you know what’s up. I had hoped to be back at this project in November, and obviously that didn’t happen. The graphic novel I’m working on, Old Souls, expanded quite a bit beyond what I was expecting, going from 120 pages to 240, and it’s taking me a lot longer than I expected.

However! I’m nearing the finish line and will be done with the project in just another couple weeks. And, beyond that, I find myself in a position where I don’t have to make any money for about half a year, and I’m going to take that time to try to turn Jonny Crossbones into my full-time job. I plan to finish this story, write out the next one, try to find an agent to start the process of getting a print publisher, launch a Patreon, and try to get this whole thing rolling. I’ll see you all with some new updates in January or early February!

I Live to Disappoint

by Les McClaine on May 31, 2017

You may have noticed there’s no new comic today. This is because I was way overoptimistic about how long working on Old Souls was going to take.

That book has ballooned up from an expected 150 pages to 244 pages. That extra length combined with some health problems means I’m still working on it, and expect to be working on it until October.

So, I have to push back the new updates to November 29. I’m really sorry!
