I set up a voting incentive over at topwebcomics.com. I’d like to promise that I’ll do this every month, but we’ll see what time allows. Swing by, drop a vote in the bucket and check out the Grrl Power Xmas party.

First off, thanks for all the topwebcomics.com votes, (vote link) we got the comic into the top 10, which is amazing since the guys who usually dominate that position offer a post incentive with every comic that goes up, usually nudie pics of their female characters. Especially Spying with Lana, which you should check out if you’re not at work and enjoy well drawn naked people.
I saw some other webcomicers on twitter post some year over year stats, so I thought I’d do the same. I’ve got roughly 5X the traffic since this time last year, so thanks for sticking around everyone. Still, a year ago the comic was only a few months old so while my current traffic level isn’t bad for a relatively young comic, it’s not something I’m going to be making a living off any time soon. So my goal for this year is to get another 5x increase in traffic. I don’t know how realistic that is, but I really would like to escape the cube farm and do this for a living, which of course means more comics each week, so at some point I’ll probably add some ad banners to the page (I know, ads suck but I won’t allow any annoying flash ads or any epilepsy inducing gifs) and that’s not going to pay my mortgage, but at some point my host will probably say “Hey I know we said ‘unlimited’ bandwidth, but… here’s a bill anyway” so the ads might defray that cost and maybe even pay for some advertising of my own.
I don’t have a donate button or any other source of income off the page yet, except for a few T-shirt sales… I should really link the store at some point… but if you enjoy the comic and want to help out, for now the best thing you can do is share it with your friends, facebook, twitter, whatever, and hopefully people will find it and decide to stick around.
Edit: I went with the 910CMX forum. I was just asking around in case they weren’t adding new comics. Thanks for the suggestions.
So I’ve been getting a ton of comments on each page for a while now, after a day or two it gets a little hard to scroll through them all and track a conversation. It’s a nice problem to have but it might be time to look into adding a forum. I’ll keep the comments of course, but I’d like to minimize the number of additional usernames and passwords people have to deal with and try and get into an existing webcomic forum (assuming they’re even accepting new comics.) I know of the 910CMX forums, but that’s it off the top of my head. Any other good ones I should check out?

Given that I only have a few hours a week for games now, I think I’m set through about 2015. Blizzard says they’re still shooting for a ’11 release for Diablo 3, but honestly, I wouldn’t be too upset if it got pushed back to early ’12, cause I’m going to play a looooooooot of Diablo 3.

I did a guest comic for Danielle Corsetto of GWS fame. Be warned though, it’s probably NSFW, assuming that pictures of dildos are NSFW where you work.
Danielle has rearranged her archive and I’m not sure how to link to the strip on her page now, so here’s a direct link to it.
