There is actually a place in this scene where I *could* end chapter one and leave it on a huge cliffhanger. Maybe it would be better to do that, and maybe I will be forced to to keep the chapter from getting too long.

But it's also my comic I can do what I want.

Will decide when I get there.

I am scripting out The Big Scene that closes out chapter 1 of Schism. It's gonna be a long, dialogue heavy scene, but don't think I can (nor want to) break it up.

I'm leaving breadcrumbs right now, but dropping a bomb for this one heh. 🤭

So Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are all gonna ban ChatGPT from receiving payments now, right?

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

I have been SLACKING on my Ko-Fi page updates and I'm very sorry about that! Life is still stressful. 💀

Anyway, finishing up the Schism screenprint for Sticker Club for this month with Kit.

November, I start suburban Sherwood backyard critter stickers!

Thanks to the power of the Wayback Machine, Schism's original run started May 7th, 2002.

Its reboot launch date is July 14th, 2025.

Just 23 years later, no biggie!

What month did you publish your first page of your webcomic? What date is its anniversary? 👀

12:20 and I'm finished up my shading for the second comic page for tomorrow's update yet again whoops!

But having a deadline keeps me accountable. Without one, I might end up putting it off and and off, and I don't want to spend another 15 years thinking "man, I wish I finished my comic!"

I continue to look like a absolute weirdo by jumping up and down, clapping my hands and such under a tree in the backyard trying to scare off the baby hawk because my crows called for aid.
