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.

    Oh man I feel where you’re coming from, and I’d like to help but I’m spread pretty thin too. I don’t want to take something else on only to fail everyone.

    I hope someone can step up. I have almost all of the comics in gif form (been downloading from comics.com for years), so if someone could write a bit I could supply the comics or even run it.

      I already wrote a comic posting script for [email protected]. I replied in another thread I could taker over the actual posting given a database of the content that should get posted. The tricky part is it has to allow the bot to figure out what should get posted on what day :D

        I went through and gave them file names with the date of publication. Does that work?

    I lack the savvy, but wanted to thank you. I truly appreciate that each day you gave me something to look forward to. I especially appreciate that each comic was released on the corresponding date, only 43 years later. It’s been fun getting to know Milo, Binkley, Opus, et al, again. Cheers!

    What time (UTC) should the comics be posted? I might be able to take one or two days a week.
