Patent Pending Has Arrived!

Monday, March 24, 2003 - 12:38 PM

Patent Pending, in its entirety (at least, in its entirety up to the point where we left off), is now available to our Premium subscribers. I'll be updating the story with a new page approximately once a month, so be sure to subscribe today to keep up with the adventures of Silas and his friends as they battle Monstroid, the evil toy company.

If you're not familiar with the series, and you're trying to decide whether you'd like to join our Premium service, we've made the first chapter of Patent Pending available to the general public as a sort of free sample. Enjoy!

Just as an aside, I know many of you were used to a PP update every two weeks over on the Modern Tales site, but that schedule was just too difficult to maintain alongside a full-time job and all the initiatives we're trying to work on for the Goats site. PP takes a long time to do, and it's difficult to find the time on a regular basis.

I do want to continue with the story, though, and there's still a lot to come. So, I'm going to ratchet down the frequency a bit. We're going to try and post a new PP about once a month, but the actual posting schedule will be dependent on when I have time to do new strips.

So if the strip goes up late, or we miss a month, please don't be angry with us -- we're going to try to do our best to keep it current, but there will be times when it just won't happen.

That said, I hope you enjoy Patent Pending, and I hope you'll join us for the rest of the story -- we've only begun to scratch the surface, and there's a lot more story to tell.

If anyone was going to complain, they need to keep in mind that another option is that you just give up on Patent Pending on concentrate on goats... makes the idea of accepting them come when you have time a lot more appealing, doesn't it? =)

Curse you jon rosenberg, now I'm hooked. Typically I wouldn't get involved, but killing our beloved Scott, and seeing that Keith is still reporting. You've gone too far this time.

Splendid and great. I was a cheapskate that didn't do the Modern Tales subscription so now, once again, laziness has paid off!!!

man I love being lazy.

In related arenas are we now going to set up searching on Patent Pending? "Secure Database" has no hits in the comics area. It does have a hit in the forums where no one else wanted that T Shirt, damn you all!

Oh how about implementing the polls thing so that we can have a vote on how no one wants that T Shirt just to really rub it in for me?

You mean the nefarious plot to make fun of Zamphir at every possible time in the forums? I think Jon is comfortable creating time for that among everything else he does. No need to worry, Zamphir!

Geeze, man. If you need to plot to do that, I'm obviously not trying hard enough. You think it's easy making such a target of myself?

Having just read through them for the first time, all I can say is "sweet." Goats Premium rules.
