Well, that week passed quickly. Oh wait!

This week (again) in Smithson:

Gemma and Micki reach a truce, with Gemma promising to be nice to Selena the next time she sees her. Micki tries to explain what happened to her the previous night ...

Dear Navigation System, how I love you so. You make it easy for me to read my favorite comics, and without you I would be lost. Whither thou goest, so go I, and woe betide the webcomic that forsakes your charms. For if it does not think it important that it be easy for me to read through the wonders contained within its pages, so shall I value it not worth reading and seek pleasure elsewhere. Oh Navigation System, let me enumerate your virtues for the world to see.

Flickerflame, the Anti-hero's anti-hero, went on temporary and unplanned hiatus while my other strip, Mindmistress was involved in the Crossover Wars, which entailed some extra research and coordinating with other comics.

It's updated.

Currently promoting my comic - Office Supplies - http://www.officesuppliescomic.com

Office Supplies(c) is a comic strip centered around everyday items used in the office and their personal take on life!

Can't help thinking it might be time to take down the snowy Comixpedia Christmas logo. Legend says that leaving decorations up after Twelfth Night is asking for goblin infestations.

It seems to be a thing this week for British comics hitting milestones. This week Ninja Bunny reached it's 200th strip and to help celebrate there have been daily updates with guest strips from Furry Black Devil, Grumps, Head Injury Theater, AfterStrife, Little Terros and lastly Digital Pimp.

Today marks five full years that emaki.net has been online.

My first guest strip is up today, and it's from Jan Wingender of Dressed in Black Comics. Jan meets Thorpe and quickly learns what a selfish bastard he is!

We're coming up on the two year anniversary of starting the wiki-based webcomic encyclopedia (hosted at comixpedia dot org). It's a useful site that by design will always cover much more ground about webcomics than Wikipedia. Other sites in the webcomic-o-sphere can reuse it's content b/c of its GNUFDL approach to copyright (The webcomic bookmarking site, Piperka, for example includes links to Comixpedia.org entries in its directory).

What it needs now, however, is enthusiastic and committed leadership dedicated to maintaining this project and helping to develop a more active community around it. After thinking about it a lot this year I know I'm not the person to do that. Realistically, I don't have the time for it (I struggle to carve out just the time spent here at comixpedia.com).

So I'm in need of a plan for the future of the webcomic wiki. A future without my direct involvement. What I'm potentially offering to a person or an entity is my assistance in transferring the backend of the current site to a new host, the url comixpedia.org and/or the name Comixpedia.

It needs to be a plan that I think has a reasonable chance of success in terms of people, organization and resources. I don't know what that plan is right now, but I hope to blast this post far and wide enough online to get some interest going in coming up with a workable plan. So, ahem, feel free to repost this message elsewhere...

If you want to participate in this discussion or better yet, pitch a plan, comment here or email me at xerexes at comixpedia dot com. Thanks!
