Just a couple of things real quick.

First, astute fans may have noticed that Comics by Brad just reached the 1-year milestone! It all started on September 12, 2008, so this is a proud accomplishment to say the least.  I once promised a book at the 1-year mark, but I have since decided that it would be too premature.  Look for a more awesomer/bigger book to come out at the end of year-2 (that’s right, I have no plans of going away!).

Second, the name “The BIG cheese” is being done away with.  Soon I will clean house, and this little corner of the web will be simply known as Comics by Brad.  “The BIG cheese” is superfluous and unnecessary.  Besides, what will I do when sponsors come knocking on the door – “Comics by Brad presents The BIG cheese by Brad Carey presented by The Home Depot…”  – that’s way, way too long.

Lastly, I will be taking a couple weeks off to take it all in.  I’m planning on being off for 2 weeks… 3 tops.  We’ll see.  October is a hectic month at my other job, plus I have some short vacation time planned with the wife. I will do my best to get a head start going into next month.

Thanks again for all your support, and stay awesome.

And with this latest comic, we are now on vacation!  Just a heads up, Comics by Brad will not update for the next couple weeks so we can enjoy a little R&R.  We will be back with a fresh, new comic on Monday, July 13th.  If you haven’t already done so you can subscribe to Comics by Brad and receive updates directly through your email or by feed, and now would be a good time to sign up so you don’t have to mark July 13th on your calendar and hope you remember when the day comes.  Click here to subscribe, or use the signup form to the right of this blog.

Thanks again to everyone for your continued support, and we can’t wait to be back (or can we?) and see you all soon.

As of this week, new BIG cheese comics will be posted every Monday and Thursday.  I am cutting back from 3 comics a week to 2.  I’ve been doing some more ambitious comics lately, longer comics, and I want to keep doing those types of things. The cutback will also give me time to make minor tweaks to the site when needed, to keep everything fresh. 

This is just a heads up so nobody freaks out on Wednesday.  I’ll see everyone on Thursday.
