Ideal Update Schedule?

Not "What you're Currently doing", but what you'd LIKE to do.

Me, I'm on a weekly basis, but I really want to do twice a week . . . Mebbe Sundays + Thursdays.

Ideal update schedule is as much as you can manage without having the quality of the comic suffer.

I'd suggest the same. Ideal is what you can manage mixed with what you'd like, but tending more to what you can manage.

Three days a week is good for me, but I wouldn't mind four. Doesn't fit well into a seven day week though

I have a weird but regular schedule (MWF + every second S) that I can just barely keep up. If I had world enough and time, I would post daily. Ah well.

fools.

the ideal schedule is once a year with absolutely nobody complaining but donating incredible amounts of money.

No, no, no. Ideal update schedule is a wonderfully drawn full colour page daily, that you managed to draw in less than fifteen minutes.

While consuming half a tub of high-quality chocolate ice cream. As people threw money at you. On a beach.

Used to do Mo-Sa, now M-F...
I like 6 days a week. It's like an extra two months to a M-F comic.

I'd like to go to five days a week. Hell, I'd LIKE to go back to three days a week. But as it is, I can't even seem to manage two days a week properly.

My comic updates on weekdays. I would like to go to totally daily (7 a week), but I know I couldn't manage it and I like having the weekend off. I could probably do better with a 3 a week schedule, but then I'd feel like I could be doing more. So, as it is, 5 a week is the way to go for me.

I would give anything for the luxury of being able to update daily; once a week is all that's realistic for me right now, though.

I'd do 7 days a week if I was making money off it or getting paid.

As a hobby I think my Mon/Wed/Fri schedule is fine. Fans get a fairly regular update and I don't kill myself working on something I get no compensation for.

an ideal update schedule is how many comics that you're comfortably able to do, allowing for Real life, relaxing, etc.

2 days a week is what i'm usually capable of, given i'm on hiatus right now, however.

My ideal schedule is once a week, because then I get to pass as a normal human being 6 days out of 7.

But if I didn't care so much about having a life outside of my computer and inks I'd be updating at least three times a week.

I did 3x a week during the Lazy Grind #2. ..... until I dropped out because of school exams. Now I'm doing once a week - if that. I get lazy and it's bad.

I could probably do twice a week, but I also like working on non-comic related drawings.
But yes. ideally, twice a week.

Ideal real-world schedule: 3x a week. I can just about manage it. Juuuust abouuut. As long as no-one asks me to colour it!

Ideal fantasy-world schedule: An extra two days in the week when everyone buggers off and leaves me alone in peace with my paper and ink, enabling me a solid 32 hours of drawing time (well, a girl's got to sleep) and letting me get updates finished for 7x a week. Someone should really provide meals too, as I tend to forget to eat when I'm being artsy.

hmm ideal for me would be about twice a week, but I doubt I'm going to be able to handle that with my current schedule. So I'm going to try for a once a week update and see how it goes.

7 days a week, updating twice each day.
