Happy Singlehood Awareness Day!

Oof. Already today has been a massive pile of FAIL for me -_-. I had a comic almost completely done, saved it, and when I went to work on it again later, I discovered something in the file got corrupted, and I ended up losing all that work. ARGH -_-; So, no comic today... Not even a Valentine Pin-up! I suck!

I do have one random thing for you.A little animation I did. Hey, all the kids are doing it! I caved into the pressure!! XD It sucks and isn't quite 'there' yet, but hey, I tried. After all, you can never have TOO MANY versions of this video ^_^

As for the elections and stuff.. well, I won't be discussing politics here because really, I don't think people come here to read that stuff, and if you are the type of person to make voting decisions based on what some random webcomic person suggests, you need some help... Whoever you vote for should be your own decision based on your own informed research. I am not here to campaign for any particular candidate and I do not endorse any whose poor likeness may appear in the comic, all characters in the comic are there simply for attempted humor and/or abuse, in my opinion.

Yes

There will be a new comic on Thursday the 29th :) This remix is to celebrate the anniversary of Xuanwu's Create A Comic Project ^_^Woah, is it already the 28th? o.o This month has flown by. I just realized my birthday is on Sunday. Why are the years slipping by so quickly? ;_; So old now -_- Er, anyway, yes, new comic tomorrow :D

OOF!

Ok, I am obviously back from Japan now. But remember THIS comic from way back when? That is pretty much how I have been this week since my return. So much to unpack, so much to catch up on at work, so little sleep XD I hope everyone (US folks, at least) will have a good Thanksgiving this week! I have a posted a little seasonal non-OO artwork, just to replace the Halloween pic. I expect there will be a new comic the Thursday after Thanksgiving. Thanks for your patience! ~_~;

In Japan!

Arrgh! I am so sorry that the site hasn't updated! I thought I had queued up everything properly to update with some of the fanart and strange english things to display here while I am on vacation in Japan, but apparently it didn't work. I am in Japan right now, and my internet access has been spotty, so I only noticed just now that it didn't work. ;_; Sorry! I will post some photos or something when I get back. I fly home tomorrow, so I will probably not be able to update anything until late Thursday night, maybe? Not sure. Argh. Again, sorry for the Halloween picture here!

The Forum is Back! Plus site Maintenance

The Forum, which was hacked recently, is back up!

I am doing some editing now and this weekend on the OO page and drop-down archive menu (including marking which comics in the archive belong to which story arc, etc). There has been some weirdness going on with the archive page layouts and navigation. I also plan to make some edits on the character page and links page. I just wanted to mention this in case the site ends up looking funny for a while :) I am also playing with the idea of completely redesigning the whole OO page layout, but I am not sure if I will yet ^_^ In the meantime, there are a whopping three whole comics over on the Beauty Man Garden. Heh ^^;

I am also attempting to attend AtsuiCon next year as well ^_^

Random note: I will be going to Japan again this November, from the 5th to the 14th. This will probably impact the comics that will appear in those 2 weeks, so if anyone wants to contribute any artwork, remixes, or anything for me to post remotely when I am away, please send them to me at magicalemi at aol dot com.

Thanks!

BMG and Commissions!

Hello everyone!

It's that time yet again. I am extremelyrather broke and desperately need to earn some money for a trip I am going on, so I am opening myself up to do some art commissions, if anyone is interested ^_^ My commissioned artwork is better than my general OO art, really! Check out my Commissions Page for more details!

Also, I have been working on a little side project. There isn't much there yet, and I probably shouldn't link to this yet, but I figure that if there are people looking at it, I will be more motivated to work on it and update it. To that end, I give you The Beauty Man Garden!

http://beautymangarden.com

This is the Official Site for our Favorite restaurant chain, and it will feature a random comic every once in a while. I have no set update schedule for this site, so please be sure to check back every now and then. Let me know what you think. If you have suggestions for menu items or other things I can include there, let me know in the OO Forum or the Guestbook or comment on that site.

Thanks! :D

Comic Genesis Weirdness

Due to a recent server change and DNS switch, Comic Genesis has been acting a bit funky. There is a new comic for July 12, but it seems to be showing up randomly. The site sometimes goes back to the older place holder comic. Hopefully the server switch and site update will sort itself out soon!
