Vol. 1, Issue 3: To Infinity and Beyond! (Poll time!)

What does Vel do? Does she...

The Jagger Fallacy

 Time, it turns out, is not on my side. 

Onto the business of writing awkward posts.  Roz and I want to bring you the best work we can without a compromising its quality. To do so and still manage to uphold our other commitments to school, family, and gainful employment will not happen if we remain on our current schedule. Our lives or the comic will suffer, and we would rather that neither option happen. Thus we must find a middle path. We have a story we want to tell with you guys, one that presents itself more as an online comic book than a comic strip. Going forward, we'll be uploading pages over the course of two weeks and running a one week poll between issues. If that schedule needs tweaking, we'll tweak it until it works.

We want to thank you all for the support we have received with the comic so far. Roz and I are committed to this project; it's a labor of love for us both. Of course, there's also Vel to consider. Her story has a beginning, a middle, and an end, but we can't reach the terminus of her journey without your help. Once we do, we'll crack open the cover on a new volume and see where the tale takes us. Stick around while we iron the kinks out of the process. It'll be a wild ride.

Late schmate!

Roz here!
   Phew, this post is coming in late!  Sorry about the delay folks.  I kid you not - a buzzard flew into some wires at our power substation and fried our section of the grid last night.  Everyone's a critic.
   Also wanted to take a moment to say a few things about the art.  I'm still trying to get my style legs on this comic, so you may see changes in how the art looks from week to week.  Nothing too drastic.  I'm trying to figure out the most comfortable - and efficient - process.  Hopefully, the art will get tighter and the style will settle out with time.  I know from my work on Napkin People, that after a while you stop thinking about how everything should look and things sort of work themselves out.
     Thanks for your continued support!  We could not do this comic without you!

Where will Vel and Garadhan travel next?

Did we mention that it was a "Water Closet?"

…so with a combined total of 37 votes and a clear majority of 67%, the bathroom wins!

I jest, of course.

Voting on “Rise and Shine’s” poll has ended and the results are in! With 45% of the vote, you’ve lead the sleepy-headed young lady to her closet door. Roz and I would like to thank everyone who voted on the strip as we take our first tenuous steps into the great living room of comicdom, wriggling toes probing the carpet for stray Legos and other detritus swore we put away, promise. At least that’s what we told our moms.

We’ve learned a lot in these last couple of weeks, specifically about our limitations. Roz and I have school, work, and familial “obligations” (I ensnare that word in quotes because I don’t want to imply a lack of joy in those duties) and having only three days post-polling to complete a strip simply is not feasible. So we’ve made some adjustments to our strip schedule in order to clear room for life’s other distractions. Our plan going forward is to have two strip weeks a month, with a one week polling period between each strip. During strip week, we’ll feed out new content Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Friday’s strip will also contain our poll. Be sure to visit the site during poll week, even if you’ve already cast your vote, as Roz might have an artistic surprise for you. Heck, as the story gets rolling I might even throw a dash of text your way.

We appreciate your patience with the comic as we work out the kinks. We aim to bring our readers pages of comic, so there might be the occasional hiccup along the way. We’ll try to appraise those scenarios before they happen, so we can let you know in a post or on one of our social media outlets. Thanks for sticking with us as we move through the various iterations of our grand experiment.
