Do not adjust your RSS feeds! I’m comin’ at you all Saturday-style to report a heap of Badnix-type news. First, and most importantly, reader Ryan Vance has submitted the first-ever piece of Badnix fanart:

Awesome! This is totally the kind of gag I would do in the strip. Much obliged, Ryan!

Second, I’ve given the site’s design a minor rehaul, cleaning up the navigation area under the comic and adding a whole rainbow of “social media” buttons to help you share Badnix with THE WORLD~! I’ve created them all pretty much from scratch, which means they’re extra-customized for maximum quality. (It also means that they might be broken in a hundred ways I haven’t noticed yet, so if you run into any problems, please let me know!)

Now, I’m not going to make any false promises about how clicking on these buttons will make you more awesome, improve your love life, and bring you riches beyond imagining. What I will do is show you a choice sample of the code I used to program them:

I mean, that just incontrovertible, right? Wave of the future, guys! 100% electronic.

In all seriousness, if you like the site, please do consider passing it on to people you know! I’m enjoying the heck out of drawing this comic, and I’d love it if more people got to see it.

Thanks for reading!

CONGLATURATION!!! We’ve made it, at long last, to the end of the first story here at Badnix.

Some backstory on this, er, story: I planned out these first 20 strips pretty much all in one sitting, back when I expected to be updating the site 5 times per week. Then I actually started to draw them, and I realized that it takes me roughly several eons to draw a single comic, and I scaled back to a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule.

Only problem is, this cut the pacing for these first 20 strips by about 50%, which I worry made them drag a bit… like, did we need 2 weeks of just Rog talking to Arika? Brevity is the soul of wit, and all that! Boo, myself!

Anyway, long story short, I’m working to make all the comics from here on out much faster – and much funnier, to boot!

For the next week or so, I’ve got a handful of stand-alone strips lined up. After that, we’re launching right into Story #2 – a rip-roaring solo tale about everyone’s favorite blue goblin-lookin’ thing. Don’t touch that dial, Super Players!

P.S. Thought I’d spruce up the post a bit with a lil’ promo art I whipped up a while back.

Apologies if anyone saw a strip other than the one currently running earlier today, either on the site or in the RSS feed! That one was actually supposed to be posted about a month from now, but I suppose it was a bit overeager. This is my reward for working ahead, I guess. Frustration, thy name is technology!

Curious about the new character? Want to know how old Rog and Perry are supposed to be? Want to gratify my HTML-coding toil? Then check out Badnix.com’s brand new “About” Page!

It’s mostly there to get new readers up to speed, y’know, without forcing them to browse through the whole EIGHT STRIPS I have in the archive so far, but I’ve also got a fun’ “Cast” section set up there as well. Think of it as your strategy guide (well, instruction manual) to navigating the world of Badnix.

Anyway, if you’re reading this, thanks so much for checking out the strip while we’re still getting off the ground! I’m really excited about the strips I’ve got in store, along with some other fun stuff I’m hoping to bring to the site.

Keep a weathered eye on that horizon, Super Players!
