Update: M_F (https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] has ) has kindly stepped up to be lead moderator on all the comic communities! That makes me very happy that they will continue!!! If you reached out to help, please work with M_F directly. Thanks again M_F!!!

TLDR: I’m sad to report that I will no longer be posting daily comics as I just don’t have the time :( If anyone wants to take over the daily posts, please DM me. Ideally, there would be 2-3 people to split up posting duties to make it easier.

The longer story is, I run my own graphics business which is my regular full-time gig. On top of that, at the beginning of the year. I started my lifelong passion project and created my own comic strip called Bello Bear (https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]). Sadly, there is only so much time in day and running a full-time business, a passion project, and also having some sort of home life at the same time is just not possible.

Even though posting the daily comics is only about a half hour of my time, it adds up. It’s also 7 days a week and though I’m a creature of habit, it is a grind. I would rather dedicate that time to my passion project, which is currently limited to only Mon, Wed, and Friday releases as I’m already stretched thin.

This is effective immediately for the following communities…

Calvin and Hobbes https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

The Far Side https://sh.itjust.works/c/thefarside

Garfield https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

Bloom County  https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

Cyanide and Happiness https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

If you are interested taking over the reigns for any of the comic communities, please DM me.

      I hope you find some other people to moderate, as I have already taken on more than enough on that plate (two dozen communities and counting). Sooner or later I’ll be in your position, looking for people to help me mod, rather than being the one offering to mod 😅

      But, the short term work of writing a bot to do this and perhaps then even running it for you (indefinitely even) is within reason. If you like, DM me with a way to contact you on discord or matrix. I’d love to hear where you source the comics and dates for all your comics communities.

      Perhaps I can make something generic enough that with just some configuration it could work for all your communities.
