Ordinary Monday

Hey comic readers! I hope my American readers had a great Thanksgiving, and that everyone else had a great weekend in general. I baked a pie and ate way too much, so mine was pretty good.

Today is the last day the November wallpaper will be available! If you’ve thought about downloading it, now’s your last chance! You can donate any amount to the comic via Paypal to receive it. Like always, it’s available as a high-resolution file in widescreen and standard formats. Remember that every donation goes toward an extra weekly comic page! The December wallpaper will be going up tomorrow.

Using the new artwork I created for the wallpaper, I also put together an ornament that’s available from Cafepress. I’ll probably be taking it down after the holidays are over (sometime in January?) so if you’d like one, now’s a great time to jump on it because Cafepress is running all kinds of holiday coupon codes all the time.

In other notes, I’ve updated the Story Guide to bring the summary-so-far up to date. The Shop has also been updated to fix broken links as well as include a link to the Webcomics: What’s Cooking? anthology.

Thanks for reading, and check back on Friday for the next page!

Preemptive Happy Thanksgiving

Hey comic readers! There’s a new vote incentive up this week featuring Luke, as I’ve been trying to warm up for drawing him for the next chapter as Chapter Nine starts to approach its conclusion. That, and it seems like 99% of all the incentives feature Eldora, so it’s time for a change!

Please take a second to vote for Messenger! ♥

Voting helps to spread the word about the comic, and you can vote for as many comics as you’d like every day, just once per comic per day. If you’re feeling exceptionally generous, please consider checking out and voting for other Hive comics as well!

Since there won’t be another update before Thursday, here’s hoping all my American readers have an excellent Thanksgiving holiday, and that everyone else just has an Awesome Thursday! It’s hard to believe that it’s already this time of year again, and soon it’ll be winter and Christmas and New Year’s. Speaking of which, if you’re looking for awesome holiday cards, check out these Krampus postcards designed by my friend Misuka!

Check back on Friday for the next exciting installment of the comic!

11/23 Weekly Update

Not much going on this week. I’ve been putting in a lot of comic work in my free time lately, so I’ve been taking a break for the past few days. I’ve been watching a lot of Futurama, which is a fantastic show. I love the robots. :B

There are new previews up in the members-only section of the forum for next week’s page.

The new incentive isn’t up because I’m just not ready. It’ll be up soon. I’ll twitter about it when it’s ready. In unrelated and pointless news, I drew some little link icons for the top of the right-side column so you can quickly link to stuff like Messenger at twitter and facebook. How useful!

Here’s hoping that everyone (who is an American) has a delicious Thanksgiving this week! I know I’m looking forward to it. :9
