Cate’s not very happy about Dag’s disemployment from the company for which they both worked.
And in other HYPERGAMOUSE news, the campaign is less than 13k from Stretch Goal #3, which will be variant covers by MIDNIGHT’S WAR artist Ademir Leal.
It’s not looking too good for Dag’s employment prospects, not when HR comes calling in today’s HYPERGAMOUSE.
And a reminder that the HYPERGAMOUSE campaign is still going strong, with the number of backers rapidly approaching 400. Don’t miss out on the chance to pick up a first edition paperback or hardcover!
The Bloodhound is done doing his thing in MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS. And if you’d like to be notified when the HYPERGAMOUSE campaign launches soon, you can sign up here.
Things are heating up in Hypergamouseland. In more ways than one; the second attempt at a campaign launch should take place before the end of the month. Life never permits the Sigma to go on cruise control for long.
Chris Muir’s Day by Day has been a popular comic strip for more than two decades. So we’re very pleased to see him bringing not one, but two series to Arktoons, the first of which is Day by Day In the USSA.
Day by Day is an American political webcomic by Chris Muir. The humor usually centers on four principal characters who had initially been presented as co-workers at an unspecified firm until the firm went out of business on December 25, 2007. Romantic relationships among the principals resulted in marriages and children, with one of the couples opening a small bar in the unnamed Texas Rio Grande Valley ranchland in which the strip is now principally set. These characters, their friends, and their families remain the strip’s focus.
In other Arktoons news, JDA will be bringing Overmind to Arktoons soon now that his Ayla Rin crowdfund has been successfully completed.
Detective Inspector Celise is on the case in MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS. Ademir is already on the home stretch, so we might even be able to get the second omnibus out to the backers before Christmas. Jury is still out on who will illustrate the third one.
The Bloodhound does his thing in MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS. The Legend has finished the final script and Ademir is now illustrating the last 24 pages, so we’ll almost certainly be getting the omnibus out to backers this year.
They can deplatform. They can demonetize. They can cancel our campaigns. But they can’t stop Lacey from drawing. In Episode 112, Dag finds himself summoned to HR.
UPDATE: Fandom Pulse has published an article observing some of the interesting facets of BackerKit’s subjective application of its Community Guidelines. Sure, it might sound like a stretch, but that’s the point about the extremely expansive language that was utilized against Hypergamouse. I mean, how many creators there have an “association” of some kind with Neil Gaiman, who is credibly accused of serial off-platform harassment dating back to 1986.
The irony of the post banning a project for “association” is that BackerKit hosts a myriad of projects, and a cursory look into the creators could reveal some questionable associations.
Brandon Sanderson recently crowdfunded a book on their platform, for instance. Tor Books published Sanderson, and Tor Books had a problem in 2013 with an employee accused of sexual harassment. Under these guidelines, Brandon Sanderson would be “associated” with something that violates their Community Guidelines as per the below paragraph’s listing of off-platform “harassment” as part of their stated terms of service.
BackerKit has not reached out to ban Brandon Sanderson as of this writing.
HYPERGAMOUSE is back on Arktoons… and it looks as if Dag might be in a bit of trouble at the office with the Big Cheese. Whatever shall he do?
MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS is going strong as well, as the Bloodhound of Caedis Nex makes his first appearance in the comic. But more importantly, it’s time for those who are planning to support either the HYPERGAMOUSE Vol. 1 book or the SIGMA GAME book to make themselves known. We’re trying out yet another new platform; this one promises to be much better about permitting us to know exactly what items go to which backer.
If you’re intending to back either the HYPERGAMOUSE book or the SIGMA GAME book, please sign up to follow the campaign here.
It should be interesting to discover whether there is more interest in the comic or in the concept. Rhetoric vs dialectic would tend to suggest the former, but then, this is an esoteric community. And before the question is asked, yes, HYPERGAMOUSE will be back on Arktoons with a new episode tomorrow.
