Update: M_F (https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] has ) has kindly stepped up to be lead moderator on all the comic communities! That makes me very happy that they will continue!!! If you reached out to help, please work with M_F directly. Thanks again M_F!!!
TLDR: I’m sad to report that I will no longer be posting daily comics as I just don’t have the time :( If anyone wants to take over the daily posts, please DM me. Ideally, there would be 2-3 people to split up posting duties to make it easier.
The longer story is, I run my own graphics business which is my regular full-time gig. On top of that, at the beginning of the year. I started my lifelong passion project and created my own comic strip called Bello Bear (https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]). Sadly, there is only so much time in day and running a full-time business, a passion project, and also having some sort of home life at the same time is just not possible.
Even though posting the daily comics is only about a half hour of my time, it adds up. It’s also 7 days a week and though I’m a creature of habit, it is a grind. I would rather dedicate that time to my passion project, which is currently limited to only Mon, Wed, and Friday releases as I’m already stretched thin.
This is effective immediately for the following communities…
Calvin and Hobbes https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
The Far Side https://sh.itjust.works/c/thefarside
Garfield https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
Bloom County https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
Cyanide and Happiness https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
If you are interested taking over the reigns for any of the comic communities, please DM me.
Thank you for all you’ve done. I loved seeing those posts; they were some of my favorites. I commend you for transitioning the sub to your absence in the best way you can as well.
Late to this, but thanks to you and all concerned in keeping this going. Love me some daily C&H, it’s greatly appreciated.
Hey there! Thank you for all your hard work, and congratulations on the success. I’ve never done moderation before, but I am willing to help out if I can get some guidance. I’m on tesseract, which I’ve heard is good for modding.
Thanks for posting the comics and congrats on running a successful business!
This seems like something that a bot could do via the Lemmy API, no? Granted, a number of folks block bot posts.
You are welcome and thank you very much. I’m guessing a bot could do it, but that is certainly not in my wheelhouse of expertise to setup.
Thank you so much for the joy you brought to me every day over the last year. I came here every evening to see the new Calvin and Hobbes and it always brought a smile to my face. I really appreciate you for that. I’m very happy for you and wish you all the best for your business and passion project!
Thank you very much!
What time (UTC) should the comics be posted? I might be able to take one or two days a week.
I usually post around 17:00 UTC.
Just wanted to thank you for everything you did and wishing the best with your own comic :)
You’re welcome and thank you very much.
I unfortunately can’t help with posting, but I want to say a big thanks for all the calvin and hobbes posts! Although I have most of the comics, I don’t take the time to look at them often, and your posts brought a lot of smiles to me!
