Hello there chaps and chapettes. Today marks the start of AOTE6, and what better way to kick that off than with a title page featuring Eluria sitting on a cloud? [rhetorical question]

I hope you enjoyed the guest comics that have been posted up during the hiatus. I'd like to extend huge thanks and gratitude to John Peters, Icy Sedgwick, Nick Shearon, William the Bloody and Ellejohara for their fantastic contributions. They're fine creative folk, please go and visit their sites!

Right then, the comic proper starts up again next week. See you then!

And thus concludes AOTE Part 5.

For the next four weeks I'll be putting up whatever guest strips I receive (plus some bonus thingies from me), in place of regular AOTE page updates. How often I put something new up on the site during this four-week hiatus from regular page updates will depend entirely on how many guest strips I get. But there will be a bare minimum of one new thing posted every Thursday (NZ time), just like the regular page updates. If you're keen to contribute a guest strip or the suchlike for this, email me ASAP and we can sort something out.

The TGT interview with me went well I reckon. It was a lot of fun. There were a few questions in there that I've never been asked in any form before, so subsequently some answers from me about myself and my work that reveal things that I've not discussed publicly until now. Thanks to Kurt Sasso for having me on the show, and thanks to Tom Szewc for being a most excellent co-host. the interview has now been archived, you can stream or download it here if you missed the live broadcast.

Well, that's pretty much all from me today. Its now time for me to go sit on my couch and sob softly to myself watch some form of cinematic silliness. Probably C.H.U.D., for the umpteenth time!

AOTE6 will be full of surprises.

PS: Due to the mysterious forces of a mister Ace Plughead, look where Chloé ended up this week!

Fellows and fellowesses, the victim guest on this week's TGT podcast (hosted by Kurt Sasso) will be none other than ME, answering (as coherently as I can muster) all manner of questions about myself and my work. Mr. Tom Szewc of Alone in a Crowd fame will be the co-host for this particular episode.

This episode will be streaming live online, the start time is Sunday July 11th, at 9:00pm EST, in the USA. Being in New Zealand, this will be happening at 1:00pm Monday for me. The world clock will be able to tell you what time the podcast is broadcasting in your neck of the woods.

If you're unable to make it to the live streaming, the episode will be archived so you can listen to it any old time you choose. I'll put up a link in my next blog post (most likely) to the archived interview when its all said and done.

So tune in if you can; join the live chat and ask some questions of your own if you like, find out some "exciting things" about me, laugh at my accent.

Also, just in case you missed my last blog post, Agents of the Endtimes will be taking a month-log break from July 21st until the 18th of August. However, there will still be new content uploaded to the site during this break period, in the form of guest strips and maybe a few other little bits and pieces that I'm quite keen on chucking in.

Hello all!

Agents of the Endtimes will be taking a month-long break from July 21st until the 18th of August. This is due to a number of factors, not least of which is getting the AOTE trade book ready for printing. Plus I'm working on a couple of other art-related goodies and tidying up some general loose ends. This is also the best time to take a break, as it coincides with the end of part 5, and allows for a brief cessation before the story shifts gears in part 6. Just... trust me on this.

But never fear, some AOTE guest comics are in the works, so I'll be running those. Depending on how many guest comics I get, I'll be posting them up at either one or two per week. One will be going up each week on the normal page upload day. If for some reason I don't receive any guest strips, I will do three things; gnash my teeth, shake my fists and put up a new drawing of mine each week instead. So there will be new content on the site at least once a week during the break regardless.

No doubt the guest strip updates will be announced on my twitter.

Also, the comic Kayla and I collaborated on earlier this year will soon be available to buy in book form. A link to where you can buy it will be available on this website in the column to the left pretty soon. A portion of this comic will also soon be up on this site in the "other comics" section of this site, so if you're unable to afford the full, print version you'll still get something out of it for free. Keep an eye on the cog blog for details of when that's going down.

And lastly, I have received a bunch of new AOTE fan art recently. Go have a look-see, lots of fantastic stuff in there!

Until the near future, my pulchritudinous DeathKittens.
