The long waits between comic updates are inexecusable.  If I expect any kind of internet relevancy I really need to get my act together.  But I haven't been completely lazy.  I just haven't been updating irkworks.com.  For example, I anonymously started an experimental comic at drunkduck.com,  I anonymously started a story-driven comic at another web site, and I will finish up a guest comic tonight.  You'll probably be able to see the guest comic in the coming weeks (obviously at another web site), but who knows if the other stuff will ever be hosted (or even mentioned) at irkworks.com.  My commitment to them is just too tentative to declare them as official projects.

I want to redesign the irkworks web site, but I'll put that off until after I get back into the groove of regular comic updates.  I'll shoot for a minimalist, but less ugly design.  However, I did make one minor change to the web site: I removed links to my MySpace and ComicSpace sites.

That's because I wiped those sites off the face of the internet. I got sick of dividing my irkworks-related efforts between so many different venues.  MySpace and ComicSpace gave me almost no additional internet exposure.  Granted, I did little to promote myself via friend-making and public bulletins and what-not, but that kind of attention-whoring is beyond pathetic.  I hate all this "Web 2.0" and social networking shit.  I don't care about imaginary friends and people pimping their amateur-ass web activities. I don't think anyone really cares about anyone else.  It's just a game to see how many so-called "friends" you can rack up.  It should be a law that any time MySpace or ComicSpace mentions the word "friend," it must be in quotes.  People need to spend more time honing their craft and less time pimping their crap if they want a bigger audience.  The same goes for me, and that's why I cut myself off from that nonsense.
