A couple months ago I decided to consolidate all my comics and blogging into one site, instead of three to five separate mini sites that rarely get updated. Yay, since now I have one site that’s still rarely updated.
This “new” site will pretty much be my old “Quarter-Life Comics” site, with the addition of random guides.
