Hi there. I found Castoff in October and I can’t stop reading! I’m on ch 7 and I enjoy the characters, the fantasy elements, and the overall adventure. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey all! Since I've started posting here again, i figured now would be a good time to post a link to the Castoff Discord server! Come chat about the comic (and art, and D&D, and podcasts, and whatever else that comes up) and hang out with other readers! We're friendly, I promise~

Hey everybody! Long time no see!
Popping in here to let you guys know that Castoff is in a comic anthology! I did an 11-page mini comic featuring a future character, and the anthology is going for funding on Kickstarter RIGHT NOW!! I posted a preview of my comic here- If you want to read the whole thing, PLUS a bunch of other super good comics, go back the Kickstarter! We're in our final hours and we need your help to get funded! Every little bit helps!
Go go go!

One more reminder for this! The Spiderforest Anthology Kickstarter is in its final hours, and we've added a new digital comics bundle tier that includes a high-res pdf of the Castoff holiday short I did last year! Plus a bunch of other super cool comics from the collective! Jump on it while you still can!

Hi guys! In case you haven't been keeping up with the main site and haven't heard- Castoff is gonna be in a comic anthology!
Spiderforest, the comic collective I'm part of, is doing our first comic anthology, and I put together a short story starring our lovely protagonists for it! The Kickstarter is up and running right now, and you can see previews of my comic (As well as all the other rad comics in the book) on the Kickstarter page! I currently have no plans to post the short story anywhere online, so pledging to the Kickstarter is the only way to read it!
The Kickstarter is running right now, but there's only a few days left, so act fast! Let's make it happen!

Update on the state of things:
Sooo I'm sure a lot of you guys heard about the drama from today- Short version is Tapastic added a clause in their TOS that caused a stir about IP rights for series hosted on the site. The clause has since been removed, but it left a lot of bad feelings and sour notes in its wake. In response, Castoff's Tapastic mirror will be shutting down on May 31st. I'll be finishing chapter 4 here, but once the chapter is over I'll be pulling the comic off and moving on.
This has been a long time coming, actually- a few months ago my comic, along with many others, was skimmed from Tapastic and posted to another site without my permission. I debated ending my mirror here after that, but decided to keep posting here for the sake of my readers. However, after that, several other sour experiences, and yesterday's kerfuffle combined, I've decided that I can't keep using this site in good faith any longer.
As always the best place to read Castoff is on the main site (http://castoff-comic.com/) but if you're a fan of using mirrors, I've also started posting Castoff over on LINE Webtoons (http://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/castoff/list?title_no=50984). I've been posting pages in batches over there, it's not QUITE caught up yet but will be in a couple of weeks.
If you don't use WT and still want notifications when the comic updates, I post update announcements on Castoff's Twitter (https://twitter.com/CastoffComic) and Tumblr (http://castoff-comic.tumblr.com/).
I've gotten a lot of support from readers on this site over the years, and I really do appreciate every single one of you for supporting this comic and myself. I don't regret my time using this site, but at this juncture I think it best to move forward down different avenues. I hope that you all will continue enjoying the comic no matter where it's hosted.
See you on the flip side.

Noooooo, so many people leaving :'(. I really think many are overreacting because of a poorly worded TOS clause. It makes me sad to see great artists leave Tapas.
Your comic being skimmed is a really upsetting thing to hear.
I wish you the best of luck with Castoff in the future, I will try to catch up with it.

They did remove the clause, but honestly this whole ordeal has kinda been the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I've been considering leaving this site for months for various reasons and this was the last push I needed. Even if the clause has been removed, the biggest concern is that it existed in the first place, and something like this could easily happen again. I'd rather protect myself than get caught up in the nonsense.
thanks for letting us know anyway i'll definitely continue to follow your comic! :o
Today is Castoff's 2nd anniversary! The first pages of the comic went online on April 17th, 2015. Here's to many more!
happy anniversary girl heres for meny more ;)
Congrats! Keep up the awesome work :3
Cool
Happy Belated Anniversary!
WOOT! WOO!
Congrats Star :D
Congrats Star :D
Hey guys! Announcement time! Castoff is going to be taking a break next week and resuming regular updates the following Monday (4/10)!
Why? Short reason: a lot of stuff is happening really fast and I need a break!
Long reason: Who remembers a few weeks ago when I posted that I had a really important job interview? Well, I finally heard back from the place I interviewed with, and I got the job! Which means I’m moving to Japan in July to be an English teacher! OH MY GOD!!!
This will affect Castoff a bit, but hopefully not too much! More details on that as it gets closer. For now it just means I suddenly have a lot of paperwork to fill out and appointments to make. Plus other real-life stuff I’ve gotten behind on because of general stress and all that other nonsense. Plus my wrist has been kinda hurt-y the last few days and I am trying to stave off carpal tunnel lest it eat my good good drawing hand. I need that hand!!
Anyway, I’m considering this my Spring Break that I very much need for my mental and physical health, and I hope you guys understand! Thanks you all for your support as always, and I'll see you back here on April 10th for more shenanigans! <3
