We've been married for two years today! Woohoo! Not that it's anything to do with today's comic, mind you.

12.13.2004 - Terrence Marks:

And here we have the seasonal portion of the comic. This is the first Christmas-themed arc I think I've ever written. Not the first holiday-themed one, though. Spare Parts celebrated Independence Day this year. I hope you a good time preparing for the winter holiday of your choosing.

12.10.2004 - Terrence Marks:

Today (Friday, Dec 10) is the last day to get your ND Unlimited orders in. We'll be closing the store for a bit, and re-opening it after Christmas. We want to be sure all orders arrive in a timely fashion.

12.02.2004 - Terrence Marks:

Good news is, we're going back to six days a week, thanks to a generous last-minute donation. We've got an extra comic in the archive here to make up for the day we took off - be sure to go back and read it!

The bad news is we were short on making the donation total to have You Say It First update six days a week for the month of December. This is especially bad news since both my husband and myself are still jobless.

The good news is that since we made it to at least the half-way mark, You Say it First will update four days a week instead of three( Monday through Friday -excluding Thursday). That way, things won't change too much. :)

The other good news is that the donation total for YSiF has been lowered to $200 a month- and you'll still get a six day a week update (this, of course is good news for you all- bad for me, but hopefully we'll come closer to our goal.)

So in conclusion... please enjoy the old updating schedule, plus one.

Well, here we are at the start of another week... I'd like to have some good news or some anecdote, but I have nothing, just feeling a bit down with the whole jobless husband thing right before the Holidays, but what can we do that we haven't been doing?

I really, really wish I had something to say other than the usual pitches of 'please donate' or 'please purchase something from the store', but that's all I got.

Not much, I know... I hope post-Thanksgiving life will have some good news on the job front (but at this point of time I'm not holding my breath) or news about the comic or what not.... use the forum?

11.15.2004 - Isabel Marks:

So yeah, it's been a good long time since I've updated the news around here... since Terrence lost his job I've had a lot less time than I used to, yet still have the same work schedule. Bleh.

At the very least, I finally got two things off the ol' to-do list- the first one is the Fan Art page- please check it out! The other is much smaller, but there all the same there- I finally have an automated way of making sure all the sub-pages have the proper updating schedule- not a big deal, but something that needed to get done.

Don't forget to donate to help December be another six day a week month! We're only 1/5 of the way to our goal!

I'm taking commissions! Please check out this link for more information!
