The short version is: we're working on it and will have it out the door as soon as possible.
The longer version is, well, longer.
So this is the first time that I can remember since we've started this project that we've missed a #fensday update! We try very hard not to do that since we want to be professionals about this and we want all of our fans and patrons to feel like they're getting our utmost efforts. But, sometimes, these things are unavoidable.
As you all doubtlessly know, there are fires raging all OVER the West Coast of the United States at the moment. All three Pacific states are being affected by the smoke and the heat and the blaze and that includes the residence of our humble raccoon artist, Jonas. Though he's not in any serious danger, the air quality in his locale is abhorrent and it's taking more effort than usual to hack through his to-do list. In addition, our writer bat has been dealing with his OWN problems behind the scenes, including some unexpected (and expensive) home maintenance alongside the usual issues one faces in this...shall we say, challenging year.
We are working on a number of different things to speed up the process of making these comics so that we can have a healthy buffer and hopefully not miss updates in the future. For one thing, we have taken on some assistance in the thumbnail/layout department from a good friend of ours as well as getting some additional help with some of the backgrounds from another of our friends. And more amazingly than that, Stoker has actually decided to step outside of his comfort zone and take on some of the art duties himself! Only the flat colors, mind, he's not crazy enough to think he's up to the task of sketching any of these shenanigans. But it's still brand new territory for him and the learning curve is steep.
We sincerely hope all of you understand and, we hope, you're not upset and feel like you're not getting your money's worth. We've been considering shaking up the tiers a bit to make things feel a little bit more fair to you and to us as well. Perhaps revamping the $1 as a tip jar and (once we're back on schedule) putting a $2 tier in as the one-week preview level. All of these decisions are still up in the air, of course, and we'd love to hear your feedback on them.
The pinups are still in the works as well as FENNEC FUNNIEZ guest strips from several, and I do mean SEVERAL, different artists. But right now we just need a little extra time to get it all out the door.
Thank you for your support and understanding, guys. We really appreciate it!
