Templar: Nothing good can come from this.

Rock out, everybody!

Poor Ben, not a moment's peace.

...

Y'know, I think I'm fully capable of going thrice-weekly on a regular basis. This comic is actually getting easier to do as time goes by, which I guess makes sense. But then my tip jar wouldn't have a gimmick.

Solution: Tip Jar for fourth day. If the pattern gets out of hand, tip jar for color.

I hear that's how Peanuts started.

Y'know, it is endearing to me that Ben eats the cereal and watches the show.

Dear god, woman! How early do you get up to post these?

And tip jar gimmick or not, I absolutely love these three-a-week posts. I agree - for tip jar overflows, color might be fun - perhaps as an optional viewing, since I personally love the sepia tone of everything. I'd read it in sepia, and then look at the color just because if it's anything like the covers, it'll be just that cool.

Hey, COLOR!!. That would be more awesome than 500 midgets unicycling upside down across Niagara Falls whist eating spaghetti from a cup. And yes, I mean one cup for all 500 trans-Niagara midget unicyclists.

Hear that, Spike? The midget population of Northeast America is jealous of you...

And with good reason, too.
Then again, as stated above, the sepia color scheme works well too.

I would recommend against color. Not because there's anything wrong with it, but the sepia tone works REALLY well, and it seems like a lot of work for disproportionately little return. For many of us, anyways.

If you don't feel up to four comics when the tip jar floweth over, you could do three-and-a-half weekly -- post one earlier than you would otherwise. (But that would only work with more-or-less regular updates.)

Or, my favorite solution, perhaps just one giant sepia panel about something completely unrelated. Your world seems rich enough, and your work potent enough, to make something like that work. (Besides, I'd tip for it.)

You are so good! Some of the best drawing I've ever seen in a webcomic set in a fascinating fictional world with complex and nuanced characters. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us and hope you're having a great birthday with your new little nekkie puppy.

You guys are really making me think, now.

See, I WANT to go three times a week, but I also want you all to SUPPORT MY LAVISH LIFESTYLE.

And I agree the random color pages would be a little jarring.

So what I'm leaning towards, really really leaning towards, is a standard MWF update schedule and a bonus page on Saturday. If iI built up a buffer, I really think I could handle it.

Thanks for all the input. And all the compliments. :)
