At some point during 2006 the Gateway Comics section added 3.5″x5″ single panel comics to the usual 2″x10″ ones. I think Rent-A-Thug was one of the only comics to appear in both formats, thanks to this comic (and another that I’ll posting on Thursday). The sternum-lodged pipe was probably superhero-inflicted. Coming up with a one panel joke is actually a lot harder than I had anticipated. Some of the Rules For Criminal Success probably could have been done in one panel, but trying to think up material specifically for the one panel format was tough (which is probably why I only did two of them before returning my focus to the strips and stories).
Also, I’ll be posting updates Monday through Friday this week, as a thank you for your patience over the last two weeks of moving the site. It was a gigantic hassle, but now it’s done and I can post comics again. Hurray!
Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow!

Okay, so moving the site over to the new host is taking longer than expected. Much of the problem stems from the fact that I suck at computer things. ComicPress is ridiculously easy to use, but beyond that I basically have no website skills. Which results in me being easily confused and afraid to test things out in fear of screwing something up.
The part of this that affects you, the reader, is that there won’t be any updates next week, either. I’m pretty unhappy about that, but I’d rather take my time and do things properly than try to get it done quickly and create more problems for myself by screwing it up. To make up for it, I’ll be posting five new comics the first week back (Monday through Friday).
Sorry guys, but hopefully after this change-over there won’t be any site stuff that affects the update schedule for a very long time.

So unfortunately there aren’t going to be any new comics this week. I do, however, have a reason for no updates. I’m going to be moving to a new web host shortly, and because of that the site is going to be down for a while. I don’t know how long, but possibly up to a week. Hopefully less than that, but I’m technically incompetent and will likely require help getting the site back up and running once it gets transferred over to the new host.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but the move to the new host is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, and now’s as good a time as any.

Rent-A-Thug is now listed at WebcomicZ. It’s a new webcomic listing site that you should check out, as fans of webcomics. Or as people I know personally that I bullied into reading. Either way.
Rent-A-Thug on WebcomicZ. The rankings are based on a variety of factors, including the number of people that visit my site from my WebcomicZ page, how many votes I get, and how many favourites I get. I encourage all of you to vote. It only takes a few seconds and increases the site’s exposure to other potential victims… er, readers. You know you want to click the button.

There’s a new drawing in the Illustration section. It’s called Hockeypocalypse and is based on a comic project that I’ve been developing in my spare time. Check it out by clicking the Illustration link in the sidebar or you can just click here.
