Tue, 26 Oct 2010 - For the most part, I find the whole "accommodationist" movement within the skeptic community to be ridiculous. Trying to protect religion from scrutiny within a community of people who define themselves by scrutinizing things is, well, really stupid. Scientific skepticism can and should be applied to all claims about reality regardless of whether it may or may not hurt certain peoples' feelings.

That being said, I am equally annoyed by people who sit themselves on the opposite end of the scale—people who are so anti-religion that they consider anybody who's not a staunch atheist to be a brain-damaged moron. (Indeed, I refer to people who actually describe the very caricature that the "accommodationists" paint all atheists out to be.) These individuals are definitely rarer than some people would have us believe, but they are out there, and today's comic is for them.

Mon, 4 Oct 2010 - So it's pretty obvious by now that I'm not going to be able to keep up with a regular weekly schedule like I had hoped. Instead, we'll just say Cectic is on a sporadic schedule and leave it at that. Bonus content will still go up monthly, meaning something new will hit the feed for October most likely this weekend. I do have some different (good?) stuff that I'm working on for the main feed. Hopefully it will be ready in the next week or two as well.

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 - Sorry again. Blame it on work. (And Minecraft.) I have some good stuff coming up soon though.

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 - Apologies about no new comic today. Time slipped away from me this weekend. I'll try to post something mid-week to make up for it.

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 - I've lost over 50 pounds this year and kept it off for a couple months now just by keeping a food log and putting aside about an hour a day for exercise. I was shocked at how simple it was after hearing so many people complain about how hard it is sticking to their various attempted diets. True story. Also, this month's bonus content was delayed because it's a bit of unused concept art from my sketches planning out Why Am I Fat?, so I was waiting until closer to when the actual comic was finished before posting it.

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 - Nothing news-post-worthy to speak of this week, other than a reminder that a new comic for September will be showing up on the bonus feed in a day or two. I hope everyone is enjoying or has enjoyed their Labor Day weekend, or as we call it in Canada, Labour Day weekend.

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 - I'm not going to have time for this week's comic, but I'll be posting one next week along with one for the bonus feed. Sorry folks.

Update: Actually, scratch that. It turns out I do have time for a comic this week. Will be going up at the normal time (Mon @ 12:00am EST).

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 - Going to be out of town again this upcoming weekend, so there's a small chance that I'll be missing next week's comic.
