Today’s comic wraps up the D&D storyline, which (if you’re only just tuning in) begins with this strip. I’ve really enjoyed making this storyline and sharing it with you guys.

I’ve enjoyed it so much that I am going to keep doing comics regularly.

I will give you a bonus comic next Tuesday that is not a Borderline Boy comic. And then there will be a regularly Borderline Boy comic on Friday. After that, I will endeavor to do some more comics for you on a consistent basis, and it will be pretty cool.

Thanks for reading my comic, yo.

Today marks the start of a Borderline Boy storyline that has been in the works for over a year. It deals with a subject near and dear to my heart: pencil-and-paper role-playing games. I’ve been involved in a lot of RPGs, from Dungeons and Dragons to GURPS to a bunch of other systems that we never played in for more than a few sessions tops. In this storyline, I’ve hoped to capture something of what we all love about RPGs…as well as what drives us up a frigging wall.

Starting today–February 8th–there will be a new comic every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, up through the first week in March. If you’ve dropped in in the middle of the storyline, you can start reading it at the very beginning.

Hope you enjoy it.

Jay’s no stranger to this Monday morning routine: this is how he starts every day, five days a week. But I’ve been away from the usual workweek for over a year. I’ve been working part-time, freelancing, doing second shift and odd jobs as they present themselves. Today, though, I’m getting back to business.

It’s my first day on the job at National Liftgate Parts, and as you’re reading this, I’m already at work learning the ropes. If you’re the praying sort, please pray that I’d do well at my new position. I still have to figure out how I’m gonna keep involved with comics without totally burning out and crashing like I did last year. But if you wanna keep up with what I’m up to, This Week in Webcomics is a good place to start.

Also I have a Twitter.

Thanks, guys. See you on the internet.

Guess what? I am now officially the merch guy for Multiplex, Gordon McAlpin’s movie-theater comic strip, and this past Friday we launched the Multiplex Store. We have two awesome t-shirt designs available and more in development–plus a few other goods you can buy. I designed one shirt and assisted on the design for the other, and if you order a shirt, I will be the dude shipping it out. It is our intention to make money by making awesome shirts for you.

Additionally, if you miss having comics from Jackson Ferrell, may I point you to this recent comic-form post at This Week in Webcomics. I created a comic in which I interview with the creators of Blank It: Aric McKeown and Lem Pew. Blank It is an awesome comic that comes highly recommended, and it was a lot of fun to interview them and draw up the interview. It was also a lot of work, so be sure to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

There will be more news–and a new comic–next Monday.

Well, I got the final tennis comic done in time for Wednesday. Perhaps somehow I will even manage to do another Borderline Boy comic on Friday! Stranger things have happened.

But one thing is for certain: there will be a new post on Friday at This Week in Webcomics. It may even be illustrated! Be sure to check it out.

And thanks, of course, to Keong C. for the use of Trent from t-n-t.

And the tennis continues! Long-time readers may not recognize Erin, because 1) she’s been growing out her hair even more since we saw her last, and 2) she’s not ranting about liberal causes. Still, if you did recognize Erin, more power to you. I applaud you for sticking with Borderline Boy for this long.

Another comic on Thursday, barring any disasters. And then it will be time for a This Week in Webcomics post on Friday.
