Okay, guys. So here's the deal. I am soooo sorry for not being current on Penguinography!

I recently moved, which was a bit disorienting, but I felt I was totally 'on it' when it came to future installments--then things got hectic, I had some health problems, and I spiraled into a state of pain and self pity (as a proper artist does when afflicted).

Thankfully, I'm on the mend, so me AND the penguins will be returning shortly once I get my ducks--er, penguins...in a row. And by shortly, I mean....give me just one more week, guys. I need it.

Also, you're all awesome. :3

On the plus, if you still haven't checked out my website with Jante, our other comic Frames Per Second has been super on-schedule!

The penguins wanted to come back but then had to take me to the hospital because my ovaries are literally exploding.

I WILL RETURN. I hope :3 Soon.

So....I've not updated Penguinography in a while. I basically found out I was moving in a week from when I found out there was a possibility of a new apartment for me and The Beard to live in. So...things have been hectic.

On the plus side, Jante (https://tapastic.com/jannette) has so much more going on (How is she now the more productive one??) and at least my other project, Frames Per Second (https://tapastic.com/series/Frames-Per-Seco) has still been updating as scheduled.

Bear with me. The penguins will return and it will be hilarious and epic and full of penguingenuity!

On a related-ish note. Jante updated her patreon which is vicariously the Cryptic Alliance Patreon which goes to support my other comic, Frames Per Second. So supporting Jante is supporting me. And the two of us can feast on your bloo---encouragement. We like...encouragement. Link: https://www.patreon.com/Jante

Here's a random thing I made when A Narwhal (https://tapastic.com/bavifragio) provoked me. I'm not saying we're mortal enemies or anything...but...

Hello my few--but strong and sassy--followers:

If you don't know, I'm one half of the collab that consists of me and Jante (https://tapastic.com/jannette) and our joint comics Frames Per Second and The Goose Boy....and now we have some exciting news!

WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE!!!!!!!

You can now check out all of our comics, including individual works like Penguinography, and there you can:

1. GIVE FEEDBACK (and encouragement)
Send us comments, questions, and fanart (heck yes fanart--you might be featured on our Facebook/website if you do)

We'll also accept cute penguin plushes and FPS body pillows (pls someone get me one).

2. GIVE MONEY (and affection)
See how you can financially contribute to our comic-making endeavors (feed the artist and the artist will feed you...WITH LOVE)

Or give us a cookie. I don't know how, but we'll accept cookies.

3. GET INVOLVED (and excited)
View fun extras only the website offers, like character profiles and other fun stuff (and possibly events to participate in) coming soon

4. KEEP UP TO DATE (and in the loop)
We're still keeping you all in the loop on Tapastic, but it will be easier to host possible drawings, fan art contests, and events that may one day be in sight. So just know that we appreciate you all and want to be as open as possible about all our weird and wacky whereabouts.

In other news, if you haven't already been following us on Twitter or Facebook--get on that. We're Cryptic Alliance. And that will only make sense if you keep up with Frames Per Second (which I hope you do...).

So without further ado...

no it's a $1000 single fee
Jo_Was
Jo_Was Apr 19, 2016
But a single fee of $1000 is averaging $10/year for 100 years, but you're probably not going to live 100 more years, and you could technically get a cheaper $/yr rate depending on the domain, so is it really worth it? XD

So, a few announcements for my few but FABULOUS followers:

1) Frames Per Second is another project I co-create on the side. It's a joint effort between my sister (Username: Jante) and I. After a brief hiatus, the latest page just released today, but we'll return shortly to FPS Fridays being a regular occurrence week after week. Check it: http://tapastic.com/series/Frames-Per-Seco

2) RogueHorses (by Jante) released a *horrifying* installment today (it does that...like...once in a blue moon):
http://tapastic.com/series/Rogue_Horses

3) On February 4th, Jante and I have another story that we'll be releasing on Tapastic. It's not as on-going as FPS, but it's a story we've really enjoyed creating. What is it? "The Goose Boy: A Fairytale."

4) On another note, we have a website coming soon so that we can better host and gather all of our many creations into one hub. Our collabs are officially under the moniker of "Cryptic Alliance" because, well, per FPS, that's our little easter egg (it's the game they play in FPS).

In the meanwhile, we have a Cryptic Alliance Twitter to keep you updated on all of the many, many things me and my sister are involved with. Check the doobly-doo to the side for the link, or follow us at @CrypticAlliance.
