Don't do it!

I was out of the country, visiting Rio and Curitiba in Brazil, but I'm back and ready to keep MYTHFITS going. I'll be posting a new strip each week, possibly more often. Thanks to everyone for stopping by to read. I'm enjoying these characters.

According to polls, readers of MYTHFITS will be fans as long as... the strip is updated more often (29 votes), Unicorn & Robot always love each other (17 votes), there's talking mushrooms (10 votes), and lastly, Poo has a happy ending (6 votes).

You readers also voted on your favorite character:

Unicorn (48%)

Robot (24%)

Poo (21%)

undecided (19%)

Startling results! Thanks for voting.

Shameless Friend Promotion: Adam Buttrick

Adam Buttrick works the late night shift here at the library, and is also a budding cartoonist. He's put together a fun mini comic: Tim Tadabrucki and the Falling Light. It's an eight-page wordless comic with surreal overtones combined with a bit of video game sensibility.

Adam will be taking his mini to TCAF this weekend, or if you live here in Ann Arbor you can get a copy from the mini-comic rack at Vault of Midnight.
