If the auto-update isn't working any more (I can't even manually update) I swear I'm going to go down the Class Menagerie route and only update at weekends with a week's worth of strips...<P>Thanks a bunch, Keen(!) My alternative is ComicSoviet, but... ahem, you can see why I'm not keen on that idea.<P>Mab<P>------------------

Alternatively, there's Komikwerks, (at <A HREF="http://www.komikwerks.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.komikwerks.com</A> ) but I think what I do is very different from what they're about. I dont know what to do. I love Keenspace, but I hate these outages and the awful service - they let us know they were turning off certain features in a post to the EGROUP which so many of us have unsubscribed from or no longer bother to even read - which defeats the purpose. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif"><P>It strikes me that the Keen mavens may have bitten off much more than they could chew when they started up Keenspace, and are only now just realising it...

</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>(sigh) Looks like I chose a good time to go on hiatus. Or maybe not...<P>Sad thing is, I've been thinking this for some time. There had to be an upper limit on comics sooner or later and I suspect some sort of cull might be on the cards.<P>Of course, if that happens before I get round to restarting and I lose my site, I'm going to be more angry than it's possible to imagine.<P><B> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><P>*Sigh*.<P>NOW I'm depressed. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.g ...

Besides, you're still drawing every day, and you're getting noticed, and people love you enough to put you in different strips. I'd say you're doing much better than say, oh, a disabled comic artist who's gone on hiatus because she can't draw her strip regularly enough without wanting to snap thanks to the extra (albeit enjoyable pressures) of her job and thus is pretty much unknown on the Keen scene.<P>And you don't hear *me* complaining!<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>Kitsune
