Well, I derped and forgot to hit PUBLISH for this article. Thus it's going up rather late. Ah well.
This edition of Touching Base is also a site maintenance thing as well. There's a lot of good news in this edition, for once, and a couple of duds.
Vampire Cheerleaders finished it's last storyline back in January or so, and hasn't done much else since. Is it dead? Laying the ground work for another story line? Forgotten? No idea, but it's going in the hiatus folder for the time being.
Short Stories is annoying me more than it probably should. Several of the shorts have been removed from the comic and I suspect published, which is great for them, annoying for me. It also hasn't updated in a while. I'm moving it to hiatus along with Vampire Cheerleaders because I'm not sure if it will update again.
Remember in my review of Wapsi Square I talked about that odd pool storyline? Yeah, it went away from it for a bit, then came back. Seriously, just STICK with it for a bit, I think your readers can handle a story that lasts more than a week at a time.
It seems technical difficulties and health issues have been keeping Sunstone (NSFW) from updating for some time. The tech issues appear to be resolved, health not so much, but he's planning to power through, so updates should be back soon.
Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks are at their respective climaxes, and are looking to end at, um, nearly the same time from the looks. Depends on how much epiloge they're planning to use in each. As I said when I first mentioned the end of both comics, I'll do a Retrospective on both at the same time as one is the spin off of the other and the timing and comparisons are too great to simply let go.
The Non-Adventures of Wonderella is updating regularly again. After a short plot arc involving her coming back from the dead, they vowed never to speak of it again and moved back to general nonsense the comic is known for.
Broodhollow is ALSO updating again (I told you there's a lot of good news this time, but the best is yet to come). Took long enough honestly. Still, it's Broodhollow, so it should be pretty damn good, even after the wait.
The best news, and I do mean the best, is that The Meek is back. After years of inactivity, the comic is updating once again. Looks like weekly for the time being and I can't be happier. Hope it updates for a long time to come.
I want to comment on Gunnerkrigg Court for a moment. I know more than a few people are unhappy with the current direction of the story, to the point of anger. Those people need to get a grip. For one, this is a natural development of the characters given the situation, and two, when Annie does decide to assert herself once again, the results shall be GLORIOUS. So just keep reading.
Too the site management side of things. I'm making some slight changes to the side bar. I will be adding a few extra categories to the Quick Reference section. The Categories page is being split into two pages. General Categories (best name I can think of right now) will have all the reviews, articles and Retrospectives in it, while the Special Series page will have all my multi-part articles.
This is in preperation for this year's long series wherein I talk way too much about a comic. Which comic? You'll have to wait and see. In any case, unlike the previous ones, it won't be straight out series, but broken up as I find other topics and possibly reviews to write about. It's not really much longer than The Standard or Best Overall, but unlike them, it will be a full look at the comic, so it might take a bit longer to write up.
Next week I hope to have the introduction up for it, but I make no promises as I actually got a promotion at my job, so that means, of course, more work. So I hope I find time to write it. Until next time kiddies.
