You’re entering a dimension…a dimension of loneliness. A dimension of passive-aggressive� misogyny. A dimension of lost hope. You have entered…the Friendzone.
A lot of people have guessed where this whole scenario would end up and normally I love writing things people can’t guess correctly at, but I like this. Right from the beginning, we had set up this elaborate personification of the friendzone. Initial write-ups included Matt getting stabbed with metaphorical knives before getting tossed into the friendzone by a horrifying version of Ash, but I think this is a lot less scary.
So, it’s our first few days of being on The Hiveworks, and oh my god it has helped so amazingly. Just in the last couple of days, I’ve seen so many new readers, so many new comments. We even finally got our ad up on the front page of MSPaint Adventures! THE AMERICAN AD-BOX! We finally did it, people. We’re big-time webcomic players now.
Unfortunately, with the new affiliation, we had to remove some of our sidebar features to make room for the ads. The Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook icons have been reduced from their large handdrawn icons to the original logos, and the wallpaper/donation button has also disappeared, all in the interest of keeping that right sidebar neat. Not nearly as bad as it sounds, of course. More ads means we can hopefully stop living off hot dogs and ramen, and we still have all the essential functionality. If you guys want to toss money directly at us, you can always click the Support Us button and get yourself a wallpaper in the process! But otherwise, we think things are looking good, and as long as we get to see more people enjoying our comic, then Leslie and I are as happy as can be.
That’s all for today. If you guys are interested, our good friend Chloe at Go Get a Roomie is doing a little fundraiser so that she can make a living off her webcomic! For those that want to see her succeed, stop on by and throw some cash at her! Maybe one day, you guys can do the same when we’re living like webcomic rockstars! But until then, see you Wednesday!
