First off, did you check out the new comic? If not, it’s currently plastered onto the main page, so I’m sure you’ll see it soon! This is one of a new line of one-shot/theme comics about various topics I’ll be posting here. I hope you enjoy them, and encourage you to spread them around if you do.

The site is coming together, though you may still notice some little things here and there that aren’t quite right. I have, perhaps foolishly, taken on the task of redesigning the entire thing myself. It means that things might be a little glitchy at the start, but if I ever have a problem in the future I won’t have to wait until my web person is available to fix it.

You may have noticed that an official update schedule hasn’t been declared. Now that The Idle State is a content hub rather than a single title, you’re going to see updates from various projects at various times on the main page, as we saw with last week’s That SciFi Guy video. In addition to those, I’m personally committing to getting something of my own up once a week for now as things are still taking shape. This could be a comic as it was today, a video, or something completely different. If you prefer to only keep up with certain projects, we will have separate RSS feeds for each, so feel free to follow those on the Subscribe page!

Lastly, I wanted to give a little more detail on how things are going with the comic series I originally ran as The Idle State. I’m exploring a couple of different options, but at the very least you should know that the series is getting a new name and is being rewritten. Some (perhaps most) of the original art is being used, which makes it seem like the reboot takes place in an alternate universe where things were funnier. As soon as there is news on that series, you’ll hear about it here!
