One might think I'm still shirking posting with this, and you'd only be half right as a lot of stuff changed in the last couple of months, so it's time to find out what.
The Wotch is still having issues with artists, mostly in the fact that their current one hurt his arm and can't post at the moment. Honestly, at this point they probably should consider throwing in the towel. I'm moving it back to Monthly until things shake out one way or the other.
What Birds Know is slowly drawing to a close. I think they're up to the last chapter, so there will be a retrospective in the near future for it, maybe. There does seem to be some time between posts, something about 5 days of summer and Canada.
Pole Dancing Adventures stalled out in May, again, no idea why. The news posts are still updating, but not the comic, very odd.
Rounding out the cast of comics that should update more, Dead Winter isn't updating either, with little to no obvious reason. Kind of a shame as it was just starting to get the next arc rolling too. Both this and BDA stay on the Weekly list for the time being, despite lack of updates.
It Hurts! had an interesting transition to hell via exploding planet, so the current course of the story is, um, odd. Lots of odd this update. I do like it as it reset the storyline a bit and keeps things moving in that, um, crazy weird way it does.
Still little solid information on what happened to Kiwi's By Beat!, but at least there's a mirror for most of the comics. Yay, I can still read minus and Great. That said, there's no official word on what happened, guesses range from bankrupt to dead, so yeah. If I hear more, I'll keep you informed.
Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks still haven't updated since their last round of doing so. Don't count that as "dead" just not moving much. As such I'll ship them over to Monthly to keep an eye on them.
Out There's finale, um, still doesn't exist. Which is leaning toward it being a dead comic. I'm glad we were TOLD it was probably going to be shelved, but some kind of ending would have been nice to have. Expect a Retrospective on it soonish.
Commander Kitty has had sporadic updates thanks to the fact that he has to work for a living. But you know, if I had a job in animation, I wouldn't be as worried about the comic either.
Finally, Pete Abrams is planning Sluggy Freelance past it's 20th year (next year I might add). Specifics are still in the air, but the gist is there's no way to wrap up every storyline (not that I was expecting him to, mind you) in that last year. Some of the idea is make a less scheduled comic after the 20th anniversary. He does like to eat, and the comic has been making him money, so I could see him trying to keep something going (Howard Taylor over at Schlock Mercenary has talked about something similar in the past). How it'll work out, I don't know. We'll see, and I'll be here updating this blog for it.
Next time kiddies, hopefully I'll get The Successor moved along some more. Until then.
