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.
