After a few tweaks and adjustments, I think it's safe to say Templar, Arizona has settled into its new, off-WCN site and is once again ready for the world. The domain, http://www.tempalraz.com, will take you where you need to go!

The new site has cleaner code, faster load times, a working forum, streamlined content, nested comments, a new comment section for every single page posted, and a bunch of other cool stuff that makes me happy. Maybe it'll make you happy, too. however, all of this means the Webcomics Nation edition of TAZ will NO LONGER UPDATE. And you MUST switch over to the feed on the new site if you want to continue to follow the TAZ RSS!

Trust me, it's for the best. See you there!

Templar's been updating, and I haven't been telling you like I should. Sorry about that! Click the back button a few times, you should be good to go.

I've begun a new feature, and I'm calling it Comics Held Hostage. basically, every once in a while, I draw a quickie strip, charge something for it, and then make it free to read for all once the ransom is paid. The first hostage, Confirmation, went up earlier this week. Read it here!

And finally, I'm gonna be a guest at Stumptown this weekend! I've heard great things about this con, and can't wait to go. If you're gonna be in Portland this weekend, please stop by my table and say hi! I'm at 110.

I'll also have a spotlight panel at 2:00 on Saturday. Come hear me yammer!

Okay, gotta go pack. Later.

Enjoy, guys. New page soon! And by request, I've re-added a tip jar to the TAZ page, next to the "New To The Comic" button. That's for all you guys who don't want print versions of TAZ cluttering up your house, but think TAZ is cool and wanna support the comic anyway.

Later!

W...wait. Wait, holy shit. Ben, did you just say something snarky??

My GOD, man, what's come OVER you!?

PS: Hay guyz? Quit missin' my uStreams.

They're announced on my Twitter and they are fun. Really.

And have you ordered book three, yet?

I think you would, too.

Poor lady, just wants to read her magazine in peace.

Back on track after ages and ages of page retouching and footnote writing? PERHAPS. You guys have already pre-ordered your copies of book three, right? Hope so!

I've begun taking pre-orders for the third print installment of my webcomic, And A Stick to Beat the Devil With, with the same intent as always: To cover the print bill. I've cleaned up my shop pages and put (nearly) everything I sell on sale to help towards costs, but the prices are going right back up the second the bill's covered. This won't last forever, so you've gotta hurry.

I'm offering pre-order packages with sketches, plain pre-orders, and general discounts. My goal is to have book three paid off in two weeks, like book one was.

Here's the freshly-upgraded store. Go nuts!

And the chapter that will be going to print can be read, in its entirety, starting here.

Warning to surf-at-workers and little kids: This chapter's got some male and female nudity. Just so's you know.

New comics soon!

Whoever she is, I contend she is pretty stylin'.

Scene change!

I think we've seen enough of the Elliotts for a bit.

Still, you can't help but feel stupid when it happens.

Something is probably about to happen. ]]> http://www.ironcircus.com/mt4/2009/01/trouble-every-day-page-028.html http://www.ironcircus.com/mt4/2009/01/trouble-every-day-page-028.html Comics Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:01:56 -0600 A sweeping vista, for your troubles.

The only thing more fun to write than New York accents are hillbilly ones!
