Tue, 06 May 2008 - You may notice that some of the comics now have alternate language translations available (for example, this one). If you have translated or want to translate any other Cectic comics to other languages, please let me know so I can link to them, too. Special thanks to Thomas Voß for sending in the first batch of German translated comics!

Mon, 05 May 2008 - To people who read the bonus feed, I'll normally do my damnedest to get the bonus strip out during the first week of each month. That being said, this month's is going to be a wee bit late—expect it some time next week instead.

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 - Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm staying at the hospital where my new baby boy was born yesterday (woo!). As a result, the processing of shirt orders or donations made over the next few days may be delayed until after the weekend.

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 - Another little change behind the scenes—hotlinking the comics directly from cectic.com will now result in a little bar added to the top of the image that says cectic.com on it (like this). I absolutely allow and encourage you all to plaster Cectic comics all over the intertubes as much as possible. Also, feel free to download the comic and host it directly off your own site if you want to display a comic without the title bar added (as long as you give credit back to Cectic as the original source).

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 - I've received a lot of strongly positive and strongly negative feedback about the new scrolling thingy at the top of the pages. To make everyone happy, you now have the option to select between them (use the new "navigate" and "archive" buttons to switch).

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 - Hemant Mehta (a.k.a. the Friendly Atheist) has an interview with me up on his site over here. Definitely required reading for all of my potential stalkers out there. You know who you are.

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 - I'm playing around with some new features for the site (a neat-o scrolling comic browser). If you notice stuff messing up, keep in mind it's only temporary. I hope.

Update (8:20pm) - I've finished implementing the change. Let me know what you think—particularly if you're using an uncommon web browser and it looks like ass (I could only test in the latest versions of Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari).

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 - I have good and bad news today. The bad news is, I no longer have the time or resources to devote to Cectic, and am stepping down from running the site and making the comics for the foreseeable future. The good news is, you won't have to live without Cectic in the meantime! Please read the important notice at the top of the site for a message from my successor.
