			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may have noticed, the comic schedule has been a little erratic lately, and I would appologize and ask for your patience.</p>
<p>I am currently in the, quite long and involved, process of some major life changes, and am frequently bouncing back and forth between Canada and the U.S. in the process.</p>
<p>I am also reevaluating and reassessing my art and the  comic as a whole. I am, quite literally, spending twice the amount of time on each individual comic, and while the time invested has significantly increased, I also believe it shows in the art.</p>
<p>I have no intention of abandoning the comic, and it pains me when ever a comic is late, or worse yet, doesn&#8217;t go up at all.</p>
<p>So, I apologize and all I ask of you is your patience. I really do  appreciate every single person that reads and enjoys my work. I want to continue to improve and reward your time here.</p>
<p>josh</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s more than a little amusing and coincidental that I would hit the three year mark of StrangeGods, so close to my 300th comic.</p>
<p>I think I produced 25 comics that first year after I began (counting from that May until the end of the calendar year.). I would update once a week, frequently missing them, whenever life got a little too in the way. At around the one year mark I took a break and subsequently re-attacked it, moving up to 2 comics a week. At my two year anniversary I again stepped it up, this time to three a week, where it has stayed. </p>
<p>And now, after three years and 300 comics, I want nothing more than to keep doing this as long as I can. My goal is to bump it up to five updates a week, but rather than increase my output this year again, I decided to focus instead on increasing their individual quality.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m in it for the long haul, so at the end of another year, I will reevaluate and decide if it&#8217;s time to add more per week.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, I want to thank everyone who reads this comic, everyone who re-tweets it, and even the people who only remember it once every couple of months and stop by to check it out. Thank you all so much. It&#8217;s chiche, but knowing people enjoy it is all the motivation to keep cranking them out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Three years ago today I decided to start doing a (then) weekly comic and posting it online as an artistic side project. The comics were created at 72 dpi and posted to a blogspot account with the obvious intent that nothing would ever come of them.
