I really like Arachne! I find her endearing! (This strip actually posted March 25, 2014, after the website died and had to be reborn.)

I sometimes imagine this is what it would be like to encounter Old Friends

Two more strips on this theme, and then we move into the LONG DELAYED YEAR ONE FINALE WHOA
Other possible names of the band included STASIS IN DARKNESS, which I rejected because it seemed harder to letter, or WHITE GODIVA, which seemed, um, problematic.
Also to clarify something that POSSIBLY DOESN’T REQUIRE IT: Arachne has been with the band a long time, since its formation! She’s just gotten better/more unstable lately in a way that is good for the band but bad for everyone in it. I don’t think it actually matters much at this point (and reserve the right to change it if I have good reason to like, One Day, if these characters ever recur), but an Early Reader was confused about this, so I thought I would clarify.
BAND-RELATED: you guys you guys Band Vs Band is updating again, and features a new TAPEWORM-CENTRIC page that y’all gotta read
Oh also: I was named as one of the contributing factors to O/R Books being named one of Flavorwire’s 25 Independent Presses that prove we’re in a Golden Age of Publishing:
Any publisher awesome enough to boast a list that includes a book of Yoko Ono’s poetry, titles by Julian Assange and Douglas Rushkoff, novels like The Dream of Doctor Bantam by Jeanne Thornton, and the must-read Inferno (A Poet’s Novel) by Eileen Myles has more than earned its spot on this list.
Yay! Good to know! I feel like a real asset on the O/R Books! However, um, I just received my first royalty report, and it turns out that as of this moment I’m actually a liability on the O/R Books, since a lot of people have read and loved my book, yet few have like, bought it. MAYBE YOU COULD HELP US OUT IN THAT REGARD
A new page in the Main Story tomorrow (this strip posted on October 1, 2013, OBAMACARE DAY in the US)! A continuation of this Inez band thing Friday! People are thinkin’ thoughts! Reflecting!
We do not see enough of Inez, some of you say! THAT IS ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE! The next five strips in the YEAR ONE chronology are ALL GONNA BE INEZ ALL THE TIME. I hope you enjoy this! (Posted, btw, September 26 2013.)
I feel like I had something else to say, but GUESS I DIDN’T. See y’all next Tuesday!
