no new episode of normal comic this week. unfortunately, there comes a time in every webcomic's life where it must go on hiatus and it is that time for normal comic. so there won’t be any new episodes for a little while

this is mostly so i can focus on other upcoming content but i also want to explore some options for improving the webcomic more significantly than in any past improvements we’ve made so far

i’ve also received so many nice messages recently that i really want to catch up on! my apologies for neglecting them, this new stuff i’m trying is really hord guys, i’m doing my best! and thank you for sending them!

normal comic will return! we’ve only released just the very first chapter so far. we’ve barely even begun! there’s so much more story to tell and i’m dying to tell it!

in the meantime, if you want to stay in touch with some 100% normal content. i stream on my day’s off currently every sunday, 2pm(gmt) onwards over on twitch where we play mostly factory sims as well as test some of the live technologies we’re developing. we’re only a very tiny community but a friendly bunch with some interesting characters. come join us some time!

wow. well. wowza. 100 editions. first chapter, in the bag. done-zo. hoo-boy howdy

when i started this comic the primary thought in my head was to have something small, achievable, public. something i could share right away longer projects that are harder to share, weighed me down emotionally, and I was pretty desperate to communicate. to say hello to the world, from here on the internet that necessity determined a lot of what would become the design of Normal Comic. the simplicity, the themes it's only been 100 episodes, not really that many in the end, but in that short amount of time i've already been able to learn so much about composition, writing, pacing, scheduling, being better at interacting with my audience from initial idea, to the first episode, was a spur of the moment month in time and then in the first 20 or so episodes, i completely revised the storyline several times over. until getting it to a place i'm now very happy with. is now more true to life, and more personal i've been able to transition from, what began as clumsy papercraft, to a fully digital comic, totally paper free, whilst retaining some of the stylistic elements i initially happened upon i've still got a lot to do, more things to improve, a story i want to tell it's never gonna look like other comics. i've always known that. i'm not a graphic artist. i don't practice drawing. this isn't a sketching portfolio but i'm pretty happy with how it's going so far

all the more for seeing some people show up for it the comic existing out of an emotional need, meant i never really entertained any idea that people would show up at this point i fully expected to stay at zero for the entire duration it was a stop gap, whilst i worked on bigger things it still is that, but i already have a few thousand followers across all of the platforms i've appear on. people have already subscribed to places i've only put the shoddiest of pilots down on so far i'm met a few people who, i would be interested to work with, if that could be arranged

it's not much. but it sure all makes me smile and i have to admit to being hopeful that it might be a sign of things to come

of course i've always known the only way of telling is to do it and see

so, with that in mind, i've made the decision that, for a short period at least. and maybe this will become the norm for Normal Comic when it's between chapters like it is now - we'll see Normal Comic will be returning to fortnightly releases this is to free up time so i can invest more into other projects (aside, full disclosure, this isn't the reason why this episode was a week late. i neglected to take into account rendering time, is all. honestly amazed that that hasn't happened already before tbh)

i'm not gonna talk too much about what my other projects are just yet i feel like i've already said way too much and i'd rather show than tell

so for now, thank you, in whatever capacity you've come along for the ride i always hope to make it worth your while and i hope you wish me luck
