Ginger's Bread

So there should be a fairly good idea now that I’m about to hit the road again and head back to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. As updates have already been crazy since I went out there last year, I’m going to try again to take a break on the trip out and use that time to rebuild the long lost buffer so we can *gasp* have regular updates again!

So I’ve asked a few cartoonists for guest strips. So far, I’ve gotten one strip and some “I’ll try” and “Maybe”. I should be ask more but I’m running out of time before I leave. Hopefully more strips show up soon.

To supplement the strips (either providing more content per week or just to fill in for a lack of guest scripts), I’m going to do a handful of “Ask Ginger” pseudo-strips. I’ll basically try to knock a bunch of them out in the next week or two while I’m traveling/getting settled and then spend my focus after that on the buffer. So I’m gonna need some questions for Ginger to answer. You can e-mail her questions at Ginger-at-Gingersbread.com. I’ll do as many of the good ones as I can.

Depending on how much I have to serve as filler with guest strips and Ask Ginger, this change in programming will last at least all of May and hopefully/unhopefully into June (it’s good and bad. Bad is regular comics take longer to come back, Good is that when they do, they’ll have a stronger buffer and I’ll be able to work on strips will less stress).

So that’s what to expect as I head out west again, hopefully to end a year of chaotic updates.

I just wanted to make a quick comment on donations since I haven’t mentioned or done anything with them in a while:

Donation gifts are on hiatus. I haven’t had time to do a new one in months and the last few were lost in the hard drive crash a few months ago. I hadn’t changed the donate image for a while because there hadn’t been interest and I hadn’t had time. But recently there was donation so I felt I should fix that.

For the time being the tip jar is back and there’s no donation gift aside from a good feeling of knowing you’re helping the comic out. I’m hoping at one point to bring back the monthly donation image but first I want to get the comic updating regularly again. If you’d like to donate to help keep the site going and give me that much more of an excuse to focus on the comic, please do, just know there won’t be a special gift right now.

Thanks to all those who have donated in the past and plan to in the future.

Today is the comic’s 3rd birthday! Yay!

It’s been a lot of fun so far and I’ve got lots of plans for the future. I wanted to just take a moment to thank all of you awesome readers. Thank you for reading. Thank you for sticking around this summer during the crazy update (or lack thereof) schedule. Thank you for following and retweeting on Twitter, liking on Facebook, +1-ing on Google+, and in general spreading the word about the comic to others. Thank you for taking the time to comment on comics, e-mail me, and being part of Ginger’s Breadite army. Thank you for donating (when I had monthly prints going. Something I hope to bring back eventually). And thank you for making doing the comic so much fun.

I have a lot of ideas for the future and really hope I get the chance to do them all. I also hope you’ll all stick around to be part of them.

Come back tomorrow for a new comic! Here’s to several more years of Ginger’s Bread!
