Hey folks! Sorry for the late color update. I spent far more of the weekend cleaning out Alice than I anticipated. My darling Alice (my computer for those who haven’t read Comedity) was running out of room on her hard disks. Who’d have thought that all those Photoshop files took up a lot of space? So I went and acquired a 1.5TB drive a month or so back. Yeah, yeah, I’m only now getting around to installing the bugger. Anyway, while I was in there, I figured I’d do a deep clean. Now, I keep my computer pretty well dusted out. Could be cleaner, sure, but I like to think I do fairly well. I was shocked by the size of the dust bunnies I pulled out of there. Whew! But she’s clean and back together and full of awesome! Rawr! Fear her mighty disk space! Now all I need is a 64bit OS and she will have reached her true potential!

Also! I have been made aware of the Web Comic Reader’s Choice Awards! The nomination stage ends at the end of the month (as does the slashed prices on FK artwork), and while I would never tell you how you should vote, I think you know where this is going. That’s right. It’s time for some recognition! It’s up to you, though. You, the reader, are in power. You decide what is awesome and deserving and what is not! Do it! Cast your nomination! If you don’t you’re a communist! Lots of readers tell me how awesome Finder’s Keepers is. Now it’s time to tell the world! Well, at least the internet.

That’s all for now!

It’s kind of amazing, really. As of the 31st I’ll have been doing Finder’s Keepers for a whole year. And what a doozy of a year it’s been. I won’t lie, it’s been a rough year all around. But I am touched that you all have stuck it out with me and kept reading. I can’t do this without you guys. And not to sound too much like a PBS special, it’s readers like you that make this comic possible. So happy anniversary guys! Here’s to a year gone by, and to an even better one ahead of us! Cheers!

And what anniversary would be complete without presents? So! For the rest of October, I am slashing prices on all Finder’s Keepers related artwork. Let’s see… how about a whopping 40% off? 40% OFF ALL FK ARTWORK? Yup, that’s what I said. Crazy you say? Nah. I just like you guys. But this insanely good deal won’t last forever. Once the 1st hits all that lovely artwork goes back to it’s regular reasonable price. So get ‘em ludicrously cheep while you can!

I’ll also be updating the wallpapers sometime tomorrow. This month’s wallpaper will include a second anniversary edition wallpaper as an added gift to all donors of over $1 to the great cause of keeping Finder’s Keepers alive and online. I’ll post both wallpapers here tomorrow, so look for them.

Oh, yes. Because I said I would keep you informed. The position with Thinkgeek fell through. Case of bad timing it would seem. The filled the position before I could get my portfolio in to them.
