I’ve got a mail from the friendly people at cafepress.com today. They say that during this weekend, until Oct. 11th, you will get 20% off your entire order, if you use the code “COLUMBUS20”! So, if you were thinking about ordering a print, mug, t-shirt or whatever from our cafepress shop, now might be the time to do it!

The shop is a bit unorganized right now, for which I apologize… But if you’re looking for a particular strip, you can browse on our website and then follow the “buy this strip” link right underneath.

Happy shopping and Happy Columbus Day!!

We had a server crash yesterday, so we sincerely apologize to all of you who frantically tried to access our site for your chicken fix yesterday, but couldn’t, and thus had to go through temporary withdrawal! Our provider restored the site from the last backup, but we still lost about half a day of data. Which means we have lost a few posts in our forum… So if you wrote a captivating treatise or astounded us with your witticism yesterday, but now are unable to find your excellent piece of prose, it probably was lost. We’re sorry!

S…tuff happens, obviously. Our last crash like this was over five years ago, so we should be safe now until 2015! 🙂

We’ve just added a new section to our website called “Free Stuff“. We kick it off with some new avatars, that you can use in our forum, as gravatars or anywhere else on the web. Check it out!


Boy have we got news for you today!

As you know, we have reconstructed our website recently and couldn’t transfer all of our almost six years of archives. Well, as it turned out, the re-entering of al the old strips into our new system proved to be even more work than expected. So we came up with the idea to republish the old material along with the new and have two updates a week instead of one. And then, out of the clear blue sky, we thought, what the heck, let’s make it three times! So there you go:

As of this week, we will UPDATE THREE TIMES A WEEK and publish a strip or cartoon on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!

The way we have it planned, we want to use new material on Tuesday and Thursday, and a repost of an old strip on Saturday. But that is just a guideline, which we might break, e.g. if there are some strips that constitute a series and shouldn’t be split up. We’ll see how it will all work out in the long run.

We have generally set our minds to take it up a notch, so you will not only see more comics, but also more other stuff going on on our website. So, stay tuned!

And here is how you stay tuned: You can subscribe to our newsletter, which we send out in irregular intervals whenever there is something newsworthy to write about. Or you can get a heads up of every new comic strip, or get it sent directly to your inbox, if you subscribe via Twitter, RSS or Email:
