I’ve noticed that a lot of people are skipping out on the comic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I guess I didn’t really stress this enough in my little “welcome back” post:

Badnix is going to be updated on MONDAYS, TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND THURSDAYS for the foreseeable future!

Hope everyone’s enjoying the new storyline. As a famous carpenter once said, we’ve only just beguuun~

Took long enough, huh? But yes, Badnix has finally returned with a brand new…

…wait, what? Why is everything on fire in today’s strip? What’s become of the lukewarm office comedy of yesteryear? Just what has been going on in Wood World over the past month?!

You’ll find our soon enough, dear reader – because from here on out, I’m going to be posting new comics, not 3, not 5, but FOUR TIMES per week! Yeah, it’s a weird number, but I’m hoping it’ll give the previously molasses-like pacing just a lil’ shot in the arm.

By the way – I’ve tucked a few new features away in the site, and I’m hoping to unveil some more in the weeks ahead. More on that soon!

Yes, I’m still making Badnix – sorry the new comics have been so slow in coming! Still planning to get the ball rolling before January’s over (although it’s possible I might have to push it back a little ways into February).

While you’re waiting, here’s a peek at some miscellaneous character design work:

Wait, who are those guys on the right? Could they be… pivotal characters from the new storyline?! SUSPENSE!

Today’s strip is the 64th I’ve done for Badnix! An auspicious occasion for any comic that’s somewhat based on old video games.

It also happens to mark the end of an era for the comic. While I love the characters and the world I’ve created for Badnix, the strips themselves take ages to draw, and I worry that I’ve spent too much time worrying about cranking out decent-looking updates and too little time on the writing.

As a result, some stories have tended to drag on for ages without being particularly funny or interesting or even making much sense. I also worry that you all haven’t gotten as good of a bead on who these characters are as you might have.

Well, 2012 is going to be different. I want to streamline the art process, recenter the writing, and push the comic to all the awesome heights I know it’s capable of! It’ll be what folks call a “soft reboot”: the old strips will still count, but the next story’s going to mark a kind of new beginning for Badnix.

Unfortunately, it may take a few comic-less weeks to get all of this figured out, to say nothing of replenishing my depleted buffer. I can’t promise a specific date, but the comic will definitely be back sometime in January. I will no doubt make lil’ blog posts like this along the way to let you know how it’s coming.

Feliz Navidad, guys! Let’s make this the most Prospero Ano ever.
