Happy Spring! I hope you're enjoying the sunlight and surviving the pollen. I never realize just how badly Seasonal Affective Disorder affects me until I experience the first sunny warm days of the year, and suddenly it's like I'm alive again. We are but glorified houseplants, so go drink some water and touch some grass!

Just to give a general update, True Colors continue to chug along with biweekly updates! This week's update makes 7 pages in a row that have released on schedule, which is honestly better than I've done in years. It's a wonder what slightly more life stability and ADHD medication can do! To be totally transparent, the main goal I'm working towards at the moment is increasing my production rate to one page per week, building up a buffer until that rate is consistent enough to change the update schedule. That kind of pace can be a challenge, but I'd really like to start being able to get through this story faster for both your sake and mine! It'd be nice to finish this story before I'm 40. I'd estimate that Chapter 3 is probably around 2/3 finished (it's gonna be the longest chapter by far due to the split perspectives), so IF I can keep improving my speed I'd like to be able to finish the chapter before the end of 2025.

In the meantime, you can get access to any pages I complete early by signing up for my Patreon. For as little as $1 a month, you can support my work, see new pages early, and also read author's commentary on every single page. It really does make a HUGE difference in my motivation to know that anyone out there actually cares about seeing my goofy little brain children grow, and any financial support I get from my comics is time I can devote to comics instead of working a "real" job.

Speaking of ways to support the comic, I recently added a books page for all the places you can purchase print copies of my comics! Currently there are only two physical locations (in Mobile, AL and Atlanta, GA) but I am working diligently on expanding that list! Realistically most of the locations will be around the Southeast since that's where I live and a lot of stores only want "local" creators, so I'd recommend just purchasing off of my Etsy if you'd like one shipped to you. But if you've got an indie comic store that feels like a good fit for my work and takes self-published work on consignment or resale, feel free to suggest them at trueniversecomics@gmail.com. I can't promise anything, but it would be cool to offer these in more places!

Until next time!
