So it's been about a month since Nineteen-Ninety-Something got its own website. How's it doing? ...Frankly, I can't say, 'cause I haven't gotten a single comment yet.
I know, it's awkward to have to sit through several weeks of reruns. I probably shouldn't have posted a ton of these in my DeviantArt gallery six months ago. (For what it's worth, after April 1, everything will be totally new.) And I know the layout is kind of weird, and not really beneficial to a webcomic site, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to change it to something closer to what sites like Penny Arcade have. This'd probably be a bigger hit if it wasn't a blog full of small unreadable thumbnails.
has offered to help with the layout issues, and I thank him for that. But I'm not getting the feedback that I need, and I want to get the word out to the Internet at large that there's a webcomic full of '90s nostalgia that updates every day. And I also want to make money off this somehow, through ad revenue or merch or whatever, which isn't going to happen unless people know what I'm doing. I'm lucky to crack 40 pageviews per day at this point. Anybody got any tips on how to make my presence known in the webcomic biz?

Nineteen-Ninety-Something on Teespring!
Guess whose webcomic finally has a merch store? Mine! :D https://teespring.com/stores/nineteenninetysomething It's very basic so far, just a few shirts to start, but you know me, I'm always on the lookout for feedback. What other kinds of merch would you, my loyal readers, want to have? Which characters would you proudly wear across your chest? Let me know, and I'll start a-designin' right away! :)
The Nineteen-Ninety-Something Archive
It's been a long time coming, but I'm over two months into the new continuity of Nineteen-Ninety-Something and it's time to clean house. I'm going to begin deleting the old strips from my website.
But, like I mentioned before, I don't want to deprive readers who still want to read them. I was thinking of selling the old archive as a zip file, perhaps through my Patreon as a new tier, but I'm not the most tech-savvy guy in the world and I need some tips on how to put a zip file together and so forth. Anyone got any suggestions?
Patreon! At Long Last!
I want 2020 to be all about personal change, and that starts with charging ahead with projects I've been neglecting for too long. Hey, here's one to start - the Nineteen-Ninety-Something Patreon page is finally live! :D
https://www.patreon.com/nineteenninetysomething
For just $1 a month, you can gain early access to the rough versions of the Sunday strips four weeks before they go up on the site! And once I get enough patrons, I'll start putting together the very first real tangible Nineteen-Ninety-Something book collection that YOU can purchase and take anywhere!
Also, watch this space for forthcoming announcements of merchandise! It's al
Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot
What better way to ring in the 2020s than by going back to the 1990s? It's almost here, folks - http://1990somethingcomic.com starts funky-fresh on January 1 with a kinder, gentler new continuity! I'm having a lot of fun with this new version of the series, and I hope you all do too :D
Now, the only issue that remains is what to do with the old continuity. I've had a few people say to me "please don't delete the old strips, I still want to read them." But the purpose of starting over is to have a more pleasant replacement for those dark and gritty strips that don't reflect my creative desires. So I do want to get rid of them eventually. As o

Could be worse, I don't know if anyone ever comments on my site because it's spammed so hard I can't find them through the walls of crap I have to sort through. (I have to review the comments before they're visible.)
