2005/08/03: Explanations

Okay, so here's the deal. I tend to work in spurts, and I don't know what sort of output I'll be able to sustain. My last \regularly-updated webcomic (Eaveston) was a big case of burnout, so this time around I'm pacing myself. The pace I've settled on is one three-panel strip, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Or maybe just every other day, or something.

I'm also trying something totally different than anything else I've done before, and actually writing the story around a traditional panel-based comic setup, and with very deliberate pacing to the strips. This comic will actually be humorous, or at least it is to me.

The first couple of weeks are pretty slow and methodical, but I hope that you'll stick around for the characters to be established, because I really like the way it's already developed, even with the month's worth that I've already drawn. I also have a lot of story lines planned, and hopefully this comic will last for a long time.

One warning is that I may decide to change the strip update schedule based on my own free time. If the buffer gets too low, it'll probably drop to one or two times a week, and if the buffer gets high enough I might increase the number of updates. It all depends. For now the three-a-week pace feels a little slow but I'm comfortable with it.

Also, the name "Pernicious" isn't anything I'm planning on sticking with. It's just the first word which popped into my head when I set up the new weblog in MT. Feel free to come to the forum and make better suggestions.
