I noticed a spike in the traffic at 1990somethingcomic.com/ today, and I was trying to figure out what could've caused such a huge influx of readership. Did someone plug me on their blog or something? Put in a good word for me in a DeviantArt journal?
No, turns out I've been trashed over at the Bad Webcomics Wiki Forums: badwebcomicswikiforum.yuku.com…
Coming off an exceptionally bad day at work wherein I had one of my typical over-analytical anxiety-laden snits about my life and all the things I do wrong, this is about the last thing I wanted to come home to. And I'm not gonna beg for sympathy, or ask people to go defend me or anything, because I know this is one of those things that all artists everywhere get. No matter what you do, somebody somewhere is gonna hate it for some reason. But man, I wish I could stop myself from taking all this shit so closely to heart. If I knew how to let hate comments just roll off my back and move on with my life, instead of getting trapped inside my own head and literally worrying myself sick over whether or not I'm making people happy, I'd be in much better shape right now - not just as an artist, but as a person.

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

There's always room for improvement, but no room for disrespect. David Silverman loved your Simpsons strips along with other people in the animation industry, so who cares about those people? I think bouncing story/ joke ideas off of someone like

without sacrificing your vision could help tremendously with writers block. You can even ask me about events from my childhood for accuracy. I have a lot of records and have lived through unique, historic events.
