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.
@[email protected] - seeing a lot of broken thumbnail pulls from lemm.ee -> discuss.online, there might be some server instance rate limiting going on. Did not happen when posted via sh.itjust.works by Seb etc.
Sunaraus (lemm.ee owner) has a thread about this somewhere in the lemm.ee Meta section, the broken thumbnails means the lemm.ee server could not grab the source image to generate a localized thumbnail of it for the post listing. Rate limiting between servers was mentioned as a frequent cause.
(this breaks the webUI Lemmmy experience for users such as myself who click the thumbnail to get an inline full image, a broken thumbnail causes the image to open as an external link instead)
Thanks for letting me know. I’ve got an alt on sh.itjust.works, I might just have to post with that account instead.
Everything you just posted for 18 Feb just minutes ago shows up fine over here, so it’s… random. :-/
We just updated the rate limit for images on discuss.online to a high number. Maybe that will fix things 🤞 If it doesn’t, let me know and I’ll try posting from a sh.itjust.works account.
The broken thumbnails over here have re-fetched (I don’t run an instance to know how this works in detail), those broken yesterday in my screenshot above have self-healed and all (past) thumbnails looking great! thanks.
🫡 Thank you for your service.
It’s nice to hear a positive reason for not being able to mod. Good luck with everything!
I appreciate it :)
[email protected] for your instance-agnostic clicking pleasure to subscribe
I had assumed you automated this, any reason you didn’t?
Just not my expertise. If you know how and are interested in being a mod let me know.
Where are you getting the strips from or are you scanning them in out of the books?
Far Side and Cyanide both directly from their website. The others from GoComics.
I’m willing to help mod and/or post. If someone else wants to post the comics they should go ahead. It’s not very Fediverse-like to have me be a central-point-of-failure for posting comics, since I already do a few other comics.

Good effort. Ty 4 ur work.
