04-29-2012 - CALL FOR GUEST STRIPS

UTC will resume with Chapters 6 and 7 toward the end of the summer. To fill the gap, I'm looking to make the months of May and June guest strip months! An open invitation is extended to anyone interested in creating a comic about our quirky bunch of mad-scientists-in-training. If approved, your strip will be posted on the main page, complete with links back to your webcomic, deviantArt gallery, or homepage. Submissions can be sent to catomix@gmail.com. I'm accepting entries starting immediately!

I also want to give a shout out to a webcomic you probably already know of by now, Zebra Girl. I had the immense pleasure of sitting at the table next to Zebra Girl creator Joe England at MoCCA Fest this past weekend. UTC would probably not exist were it not for transformation webcomic pioneers like Joe. If you're hearing about his comic for the first time, I strongly encourage you to check it out. It's been one of my favorites for over ten years.

04-17-2012 - IRL ACTIVITY

Chapter 5 is over! I hope you enjoyed the new adventure, and continue to look forward to further stories later this year. I've thrown up a teaser for future plotlines to help you rough out the coming two-month hiatus.

The reason UTC is taking another break (a much shorter break, this time) is simple: I'm attending MoCCA Fest in New York City on April 28 and 29, and I've been working on getting some new original material prepared to sell there. If you're in the NYC area, please stop by the Lexington Avenue Armory and check out my stuff, as well as the variety of other talent that will be on display. The door price is cheap--even cheaper if you book on-line--and the fun is off the charts.

I will be spending May and June working on the next two chapters of UTC, as well as the continuation of last year's Unfamiliar Reflection miniseries, "Afterimage." In late summer, UTC will resume with regular updates through the rest of the year.

If you're interested in giving feedback on Chapter 5 and what you'd like to see in future chapters, feel free to e-mail me, participate in the comments section of my deviantArt UTC gallery, or drop by my MoCCA table to talk about it in person!

Thanks for reading UTC! See you in July.

02-20-2012 - UPDATES MOVED TO TUESDAYS

Based on the work schedules I've been keeping over the past couple months, I've decided that Mondays are not the best targets for weekly updates. So for the next few weeks, UTC will be updating on Tuesdays. This may or may not be a permanent change.

01-23-2012 - FEELING BETTER; UPDATE ALMOST READY

Thanks again everyone for your patience while I recovered from my winter bug. I've got my energy back and I've been working very hard to make the next pages as good as possible. I was trying to push for a Monday update, but I need some extra time to get the page to a quality that I'm satisfied with. It's almost finished, though, so a Tuesday update is guaranteed and I hope you feel it was worth the wait. UTC continues on, albeit at a sadly scattered schedule. See you tomorrow!

01-16-2012 - SICKNESS SCHEDULE SOURPUSS

I've been hammered by a nasty cold this week. It's holding up progress on the page, but I'm slowly working at it and I hope to have it uploaded by Tuesday or Wednesday. If nothing else, you can be sure that next Monday's update will not be delayed. I'll release both pages next Monday if it comes to it.

01-05-2012 - A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES

And we are caught up again! The regular once-weekly-on-Mondays schedule picks up next week and UTC ought to be on time for the forseable future. As a consolation for making you wait, I LiveStreamed my work coloring and word-ballooning page 90. The three-hour video is full of random conversation, including an impromptu Q&A with the only person to stay awake all the way through the stream with me, as well as some random "VH1 Storytellers"-type anecdotes. There ARE minor spoilers about future UTC plot points in this video, so be warned!

Happy New Year!

Apologies for missing updates the past two Mondays. As you can see, last week's page has finally been posted, and this week's page is coming on Thursday. The holidays were a busy time for me and I had to focus on a lot of personal things and then get some serious relaxation as the year wound down. But the new year is here and I am back with renewed vigor. I'm already at work on page 91 and it will be here on Thursday, and you can expect regular Monday updates from here on out. Thanks for waiting and have a great 2012!
