Regretfully, I won’t be able to continue posting installments of Salvager Kain at this time. Furthermore, all regular postings here will be on indefinite hold. I apologize for this last-minute cancellation. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the comics I’ve posted in the past year, and that at some point in the future you’ll come back to find new comic installments have returned. Thanks — P.

Salvager Kain #6 Return Date: 29 May 2010!

Yes, it’s still a ways off, but it will happen: Salvager Kain #6 will return! As of today’s comics post we’re halfway through the short stories of Tales Of October #1, also known as “The Paul’s Busy Being A New Dad Intermission”. Once those short stories have concluded, as of May 29, 2010, you should see page 6 of Salvager Kain #6, restarting right from where it left off!

Thanks again for your patience; see you then!

Q: What do you call a webcomic that doesn’t post when it says it will? A: I don’t know, but I do know this: I’m going to be at least a day late, and maybe two. But since you’re getting this a) for free and b) so slowly ANYway that a day or two won’t matter… what’s the diff?

(The difference is that I’LL know. See, I want to stay true to my word, even if I’m the only one who cares. That sound you hear is me cursing at myself. Yeah, I know — not unlike the process of making comics in the first place…!)

I’ll see you as soon as I can. Cheers — P.

Salvager Kain #6 Start-Date: 25 November 2009

Hello again, everyone!

This is quick but sweet, to say HEY! I’m back for the sixth issue. You’ll notice the site has been switching around a bit… my apologies if those of you subscribing to the RSS feed have been getting alerts every time I dig in and muck with the naming of pages and coding of style sheets. This is a) all new to me, if you hadn’t already guessed and b) all in the way of actually writing and drawing… y’ know? Still, it’s my online portal, and I’m trying to make it less sloppy. Here’s hoping for progress!

Part of the re-jangling at this point was to make sure you folks would have as easy access as possible to the multiple chapters of the storyline… and for now, I think I’ve got it in a good state. On the left you’ll see drop-down lists for (as of today) the two separate stories I’ve posted: Salvager Kain #5, and the short story “The Greater Affront”. Once the first installment of Salvager Kain #6 goes up — coming this Wednesday, November 25, 2009! — you should see another drop down list for that title as well. And on it goes.

(PART of the reworking here was to simplify the name of “The Greater Affront” so the title didn’t run to embarrassing lengths in my story structure. As easy as it is to come up with a silly title like “The Spittish Chronicles, Volume 11: The Greater Affront” for a minicomic in print, it becomes a different matter for something online where brevity is a blessing. Therefore, I’ve abbreviated the title. Since the light-hearted tale was only ever meant as filler in between chapters of the main story, I don’t suppose most people will care what it’s called, do you?)

So there you have it: the site is back, and will sport the first installment of Salvager Kain #6 up in two days’ time! Be sure to come back and see the start of (wait for it) what COULD be the LAST chapter of Salvager Kain! Will he change by the story’s end? Or, will he die, instead? Anything could happen… but beyond anything else, I promise you some strangeness. See you soon –

– Paul

Change is a constant

Just a little FYI — my apologies if the look of the site changes *as you’re reading*, on any given day. First and foremost, I’d prefer to be writing & drawing comics; second to that, I need to learn how to hammer the site into shape for you all to get the most out of the comics experience. And so… daytime testing will occur. Relax, you won’t need a hardhat.

Hey hidie ho. I’ve rejiggered things a bit today, finally adding a “blog” page to the site. This separates my random thoughts from the comic postings — though I may continue to add details about a given strip, if I’m feeling “chatty”.
