Do you NOT consider saving your mom from having to wear her fingers to the bone deep into the night at her advanced age 'in your best interest'??

Drawings: Artist Editions of my books

For a few months now, I’ve been offering the option to upgrade purchases of my strip collections to “Artist Editions” (a term I shamelessly stole from Dave Kellett). That means I’ll draw a unique sketch in each book!

I make no promise that the sketch will be particularly good, or that it will make any sense. But I’ll leave those qualitative determinations to you — below are a few examples of Artist Edition sketches I’ve done so far.

For more examples of my sometimes-awful sketches, check out the “Drawings” section here on the site (occasionally not work-safe). I’ll be posting more drawings over time — including more examples of Artist Editions I’ve done over the last few months, and continue to do for folks every day.

Also, all purchases of my print-only comic book “Treachery!” are Artist Editions by default (at no additional cost to you). That’s because the story in “Treachery!” is reprinted in the newest collection, Beards of our Forefathers — and the copies I have left of the separate “Treachery!” book are chirping at me like newborn birds, eager to spread their wings and venture forth into the wild, exotic lands of Your House. To encourage their expulsion from the nest (by way of commerce), I’ve made Artist-Edition “Treachery!” comics a cheap way for you to own some original art by me, if you care about such a thing.

New site bug reporting

I’ve started a thread on the messageboard for bug reports and status updates. So far we have an alt-text issue in the RSS feed and a crazy LiveJournal feed, both of which are being worked on. Update: Both issues have been resolved. If you’ve got anything new to report, or want to check the status of the known issues, please visit the thread — and I encourage you to browse around and poke in all the corners of the new site. Really break it in and let me know what you find — I want it to be robust. Thanks!

Welcome to the new site!

Welcome to the all-new, totally-redesigned Wondermark.com! I have to thank both Tyler Martin of ComicPress and my team of beta-testing and data-entry Twitter volunteers for their wonderful, devoted service. I’ve been working on this a long time, and it’s nice to finally see it come together.

Over the coming weeks I’ll point out in detail some of the newest, most fun things that I like about this site, but for now I’ll just mention two: There’s now a separate Twitter feed specifically for every update to this site; and if you subscribe to the RSS, LiveJournal feed, or Feedburner email subscription you’ll soon notice that I’m no longer going to adhere to a strict only-twice-weekly, comic+newspost posting schedule. I’ll have to wean myself away from posting a news post with every comic, but I’ll definitely be posting drawings and other fun bits throughout the week instead of just on Tuesdays & Fridays. The RSS, LJ feed or email list are all ways to stay on top of that. (If you’re reading this right now through one of the feeds, hello! You are already in the future.)

Finally, there may still be bugs here or there in the site, and if you find anything wonky, please email me. There are a few known issues, but we’re getting them all ironed out as quickly and smoothly as we can.

Welcome! Stay awhile! I’ll see you again soon.
