Yesterday, there was a Wikipedia article about The Underfold.  Today, it’s been deleted due to lack of notability.  I feel there’s a muted trumpet “wah wah wah” in the background.

Honestly, I didn’t see it staying for long anyway, but thought maybe I could sneak it in there.

Anyone a worthy Wikipedia editor/contributor/admin that likes The Underfold?  Do you think it’s note-worthy?

Think we can fight to get it back up there?  I think we can if some other people help me out.  Perhaps we can create our own worth?  Want to review The Underfold or do a interview with yours truly?  I’ll do it.

There are plenty of other webcomics up there that I’m sure no one’s heard of, so, it only seems right that there be one more unknown in the mix.

Let me know if you’d like to help in my subversive tactics to generate a Wikipedia article!

Greetings disturbed Fold!

There’s nothing quite like a post that promises elephant sex to get some random SEO traffic.  So, let’s see how it goes.  Anywho, just wanted to let you know that I updated my homepage, and I think it looks pretty cool.  You should check it out if you haven’t seen it yet here.

This past week has been really encouraging, even with my super-nerdy story arc going on, everyone’s being really cool and still coming by.  Only one more V’GER comic to go, then I’m moving on, and just so you’re prepared… V’GER’s staying on as a regular cast member for at least a little while longer.

Anyway, here’s a short little comic for your reading pleasure:

If you somehow missed me plugging it, this comic refers to my little book that I came up with that you can either download for free, or purchase at the low price of $6!  I get $0 profit from it… because I just shouldn’t… but, if you think it’s funny, download or buy it and send me a picture or something!

Also, just today, I found a website that will allow me to sell t-shirts for WAAAAAYYYYY cheaper than Zazzle.  Like $10 cheaper!!  WHOA!  So, I’ve begun recreating some of the shirts I had, and I’m working on some new ones.  If you have any ideas for a cool Underfold shirt, leave a comment and let me know!

Last, but certainly not least, I think I have a decent idea for a book version of The Underfold.  I really don’t feel that a anthology is enough to make a book, although maybe I’m just putting too much pressure on myself about this…  Not sure.  Anyway, I was listening to an interview this morning about Jane Austen, and thought it would be a fun source for a story if The Underfold came under attack by zombies!  I’m a fairly big fan of zombie movies (the classics, especially) and think there’s a hefty amount of potential there.  But… what do you think?  Is it too lame to ride that wave?

I was also involved in a podcast over at the Daily Comics Review where I talk about my “process” and the story behind The Underfold and such, so you should check it out!

Look forward to hearing from you guys about this stuff, I’m excited about The Underfold and where it’s heading!  Are you?

Recently, I’ve been taking on the trait of most webcomics that I read and have been posting late into the night for the day.  Sorry about that.  I’d love to say that it’s because I’ve been spending more time on the comics and the story and the joke… but it generally isn’t true.

This week, I had the pleasure of starting off sick.  So, I slept most of Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday was spent catching up at work.  That’s just how it is.  So, sorry for the lateness of these comics.

ALSO, sorry for not having updated the Sunday comics in a while.  My experiment with creating the comics ahead of time for the kids to color them is working pretty well, but i’m having a hard time getting them to allow me to scan on in colored.  So, I also haven’t made time to color them digitally and post them on the website.  My bad.

I’ll get some of those up shortly.

Thanks for sticking with me though!

Most of you probably don’t know that me and Mike P (of Meekrat Entertainment Group) have begun a collaborative webcomic that is funny.  It’s called Carafe, strays away from the confines of normal characters, and relies on what comics are made for.  Funny things.

I’ll be getting an ad or something up on The Underfold’s sidebar in the near future, but for now, I thought you should know that it’s up and going, and it posts Tuesday and Thursdays (so you don’t have to choose between The Underfold and Carafe!).

The web address is http://carafe.theunderfold.com and you should go there now to enjoy the two comics already up (by me!), and prepare thineself for Thursday’s update (by Mike P!).  Hopefully, we’ll be gathering some other artists along the way, or at least have some guest posts by them sometime!

If you are an artist and want to send in some stuff, you can send it to me at brian(at)briancrussell(dot)net.  Sorry for the “minimum security” on that, but I hate spam mail.

What are you waiting for?  Check it out!

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for yourself for Christmas, don’t forget to check the Facebook page for some bonus feature goodness, and feel free to interact for OPTIMUM PLEASURE.  (I think that should get some Google hits, no?)

As always, there’s a small amount of time left to get one of your friends or loved ones (that includes yourself if you’re selfish!) some sweeeeeet Underfold garb.  So, you know, check it out and stuff.

Happy holidays everyone!

I know you’re thinking, WTF, mate? You said you were going to update more regularly!

Yes, this is true.  There were actually three updates today, just scheduled for the days that I’ve missed.  They’re all Bunny Foo Foo Adventures.  So, go check out the random kid-inspired stories of Bunny Foo Foo!

I’m also working on a redesign of the site, so if you come back, and it looks even worse… know that I’m working on it.  I’m not giving up.
