So I just revamped this website because I wanted to make it look better and get it ready for the introduction of the webcomic The Whitebreads and the Apocalypse. I will be posting pages of this graphic novel up here on a regular basis. Though the individual installments might not move the story along too fast, it will give me time to draw them. I'm hoping to put up a donation basket and probably in the future I will be charging a small fee for access to certain parts of the site so that I can continue to support my efforts.

It does seem wierd to charge people for access to the site considering a big part of The Whitebreads and the Apocalypse (TWATA for short) will be a criticism of capitalism. We do however, live in a capitalist system, and better that the money goes toward sustainable stuff and activists. You are choosing to support this site not because there is a financial incentive but because it is something you believe in and want to continue to exist.

If I can set up a micropayments system, access will be like throwing a coin into a cup. I think of how easy it is to blow $3 in a short time on nothing, and giving that much each year to something I support and believe in doesn't seem like much, especially if it's a dime at a time. If enough people visited this site and contributed only that much, I could quit my job working as a male stripper.

I think people visiting the site will really like TWATA. If I can get to the point of being able to depict everything I need to in cartoon, I will be able to illustrate some cool ideas. This isn't your typical graphic novel, or your typical dry political book. I think of it as sort of like a combination of Noam Chomsky and Pearls Before Swine. And though I think it'll pale in comparison to both of them in their respective areas of expertise, it'll be more political than Pearls and much funnier than Noam Chomsky. It might end up being as longwinded as Noam Chomsky.

I have felt cramped by the comic strip format. Reading over my archived strips they seem to just brush the surface of the issues they address, and as a result are not that educational and can be easily misinterpreted.
