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!
