Schedule News

September 6, 2009

Big News! The new OaH schedule will henceforth be Tue-Thurs-Sat instead of Mon-Wed-Fri.  I think this will work our better for me as far as my personal schedule, and should help me keep up my current comic rate during the school year.

Plus, every 3-day-a-week comic is Monday/Wednesday/Friday.  I’m tapping into a fresh market!  So if you or anyone you know is feeling down on a tuesday, you know where to go to get new content to cheer ‘em up!

News and Twitter Reminder

September 2, 2009

Hey, everybody.  My scanner had problems, so comic midday tomorrow.

But guess what? You could’ve known that TEN MINUTES SOONER had you subscribed to my Twitter account.  Yes, I know I don’t have the widget here on the website yet, but it’ll pop up soon.  But nonetheless I’d recommend subscribing because It’s more direct and immediate, and also because I feed on attention like a lamprey.

Peace out, y’all

News N’ Stuff

July 29, 2009

Hey, all. I’m here to tell you that Out at Home will be going on hiatus… sort of.  For the next two week, I’ll be running guest comics, sketchbook pages, and other stuff in lieu of Out at Home comics proper.  There are three reasons for this- 1. is so I will have a SUSPENSEFUL CLIFFHANGER ON FRIDAY OOOOOOOH! 2. is that I’ll be making the transition to a new, better computer over the next week or so, and 3, I have been looking into T-Shirt sales!  The break will give me time to decide which designs to move forward with and with which company to set up a store.

Also, I’m going to be visiting CONNECTICON on Friday! I don’t have a booth or anything to sell, but I’ll be floating around as a patron, so if anyone’s going, maybe I’ll bump into ya. OOPS I’M FLAT BROKE NEVERMIND : P

So that’s what’s goin’ on here for a while.  If anyone has ideas for what they want on a t-shirt, let me know in the comments for this post (and before you ask, I’m definitely making “music band”. :)

Forum!

July 17, 2009

That’s right, people, I have an official Out at Home forum now.  Have something to talk about that you feel is too tangential or verbose to discuss in the comments box? well then head yourself on here and blab to your heart’s content. (There’s also a link in the top bar, for future reference)  I’ve started a few topics to get things going, but feel free to start new ones whenever you like.

You WILL need to register a username and password, and then confirm in your email.  If you’re at all familiar with forums, you know that this is standard procedure and the approval process is instantaneous.  Once you register, you can post in any of the other forums at rampagenetwork.com, so it’s like tens of registrations at once!  It works the other way, too, so if you’re registered for another comic’s forum on that site, it works for mine.

“Alex” was taken on the overreaching boards, so I go by Mr.Threeve o’er there.  Hope to be talkin’ soon. :)

I Got Talked To By People!

June 26, 2009

That’s right!  Thom over at 515 comics hit me up for an interview about myself and Out at Home.  It’s the first I’ve ever done for the comic, and I think it came out okay, if a little rambly on my end. (Hey, I never get to talk about this stuff!)  Thanks a bunch to them for letting me do this.  My voice sounds weird because my microphone is terrible and we did it over AIM.

You can check it out here.

In other news, the donation button will be back at some point, I don’t know why it’s not showing up on the page.

It’s the new site!

June 23, 2009

Whoopdee doo, it’s the brand-new site and it’s… not finished.  Many of the bells and whistles I’m hoping to use with my brand new host have not been set up yet, so it may be a while before the forum is functional and the archive is working again.  Plus the site style needs some work… anyway, by the end of the week everything should be working fine.

The good news is all of your comments were kept!  Surprise!  (at least those made before the past 12 hours)

Big ol’ news- site redesign!

June 15, 2009

That’s right, kiddos, once again I will be redesigning the site, making it more aesthetically pleasing and functional for comic archiving services.  The big reason for this is that, in one week, I’ll be moving my hosting to the Rampage Network.  As a result, they’re helping me completely overhaul my site, making it easier on my end to manage, and also bringing some new features to you guys that’ll make it easier to navigate.  Oh, and don’t worry, the url and my email will remain the same.

Unfortunately, since this is a total overhaul from the ground up, it means that all of your comments up to this point will be deleted. :( I don’t want it to happen, especially since a lot of you have been so positive and supportive with your messages (Over a THOUSAND of them!!!!), but there’s really no way around it.  However, I will be setting up a brand new FORUM where you can discuss Out at Home to your heart’s content, as well as keeping some comment functionality on the new site.  More details will be posted when I make the switch next week.

One more bit of news- I’m stopping link exchanges- again.  I know, I’ve flip-flopped on this issue again, but as I’ve gotten more popular, it’s caused a lot of unnecessary drama with some people (who will remain nameless) that have contacted me.  This doesn’t mean I’m going to take away links I’ve already committed to- that’s dishonest and unfair, and I wouldn’t want it happening to me, so any links I already have are going to be kept.  I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, I just don’t think it’s worth the grief.

Anyway, keep reading and tune in Monday for the changes!

Help Out at Home by Clicking Shiny Buttons!

May 24, 2009

Hi, all.

I’m installing some buttons on the lower left underneath the donation button on the left sidebar.  I’ve begun submitting OAH to as many webcomics lists, forums, groups, etc.  that I can, and by clicking on these buttons, you, the reader, will greatly help me, the comic-maker-guy.

The higher I rank, the more exposure I get, which means more readers, which means more money for me, which means I can afford to make more comics which means that BY VOTING FOR ME ON THESE VARIOUS LISTS MORE AND BETTER COMICS COME TOWARD YOU AND YOUR COMPUTOBOX HOLY CRAP

So vote now, vote often!  Thanks.

Three more comics this week!

May 18, 2009

That’s right!  Thanks to my donators, including a very generous contribution from Mr. Ross Brownell (Who has a blog right here go look at it) I’ll be doing a strip on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

In FACT, Wednesday’s strip will be something special that’s unlike anything I’ve put up before, so look out for that’un.

I’d like to thank everyone who donated, and would like to remind you all that a donation gets you a cameo as a background character in a strip and a link to your website/blog/DeviantArt/whatever.  Thanks to everyone, again!
