For folks who have dropped by the Store page on the SillyVamp site, you know that I've been had a placeholder link since Vol. 3 came out to the Graphicly page. Well... that's going away soon.
Actually, the other links to Graphicly are going away, too. They were bought by another online publisher and are closing their doors soon. Bummed as I am to lose another possible way for folks to dig my stuff, they at least gave some warning before they close up shop and I'm currently downloading the Biff books from them as I type. I'm curious as to what I'll get - the PDFs I sent up or the reformatted files I built through their service.
Sometime tonight (06.01.14), I will do some HTML magic and make those links disappear.
What does that mean for you folks? Well... depending on what comes down the pipe from Graphicly, I might end up with another place to load those books. This also means that these are the only places (beside myself) you can snag a copy the Biff books while tossing me some coin to keep the lights on. = )
- Drivethru Comics: Great service that's been around for a very long time. Good folks who I hit up every so often for indie comics and RPGs. = )
- Gumroad: Has all three Biff books and it's the only place you can buy a copy of my Ghouls'R Gals monster girl artbook.
- Lulu: That age old publishing place online.
Now it's back to work. I recently posted my 300th strip and watched as my system's hard drive start to fail at a time when I really only had cash enough to either replace it or hit up a new local comic convention. Needless to say, I missed the convention but I just got all my stuff transferred over to a new non-dying hard drive with no loss of info! = D
'Till next time!
*Poof*

State of the Strip - 05.2023
First up: The strip is Fine. Nothing drastic is going to change but enough stuff is going on that I felt the need to write this. Don’t skip it if you’re actually curious as to what's going on behind the scenes of BtV. So here’s what's going on... I'm holding off on posting the strip for a bit. On the website, there’s stuff going on that needs to be worked on. Things I've needed to do for a while. One of the projects that I kinda’ had to take up was working on and updating the ancient codebase that runs the place. Biff runs on webcomicConfig. For those who don’t know what that means… Biff the Vampire is a comic from 2006. With the exception of a handful of months back in the day, it runs on a set of scripts hailing from 2002-2003. It has had very few modifications and updates from myself and others but it’s effectively 20 years old. o.o SO! What I did a couple of weeks ago was suffer a pain I hoped never to suffer again: I went into the PHP and tried my damnedest to get things
My Gumroad Shop is Closing on the 20th!
That's pretty much the whole thing. You have Slightly under a week to scoop any books you've bought from me through there. I'm giving myself the birthday gift of removing my stuff for sale. Yeah...? o.O Seriously though, I have the Ko-Fi shop as a replacement. I'm still at the bulk of my usual online haunts. Folks can still buy stuff from me. If it weren't for my need to keep an eye on things and to be polite to folks who've bought stuff from me, I'd have dropped that place a while ago. I'm an "Artist"-type Guy of my word. So... yeah. Download anything you've got from me from over there while you can. *Poof!*
Biff Vol.6 is FINALLY Done!
That's right! It's done, dusted and live at a fair number of places to buy. = D You can get Vol.6 (and the Rest of the Biff Books) at... - The Biff Shop [Link] - Drive Thru Comics [Link] - Lulu [Link] - Ko-Fi [Link] You might be asking "Hey Proph? Where's Gumroad and comiXology?" Well... about that. See, one of the higher-ups at Gumroad had a bit of a public breakdown and some of their actions During said breakdown on their company Twitter feed that made me realize that Maybe I shouldn't sell through them anymore. -.- The comiXology thing is actually a different reason entirely. Amazon decided to fold the long-time comic shop into their main Amazon branding and kinda' destroyed over a decade of links. Biff Books are currently not available though their existing shop situation. Unlike the GR deal, I knew this was happening but I didn't think it'd happen so soon after they sent out the warning. Figured I'd have a year to plot & prep... I had like six months at best. Any past
Ha HA! I popped for a Core membership again. = )
With things being how they are in the current Art world (and me finally having a bit of Mad Cash during dA's sale), I figured I'd drop some funds on a membership once again. It's only been... over a decade... since the last time I did this and the bonuses back then weren't really all that interesting. Now? Well... besides the longer term Enneff-Tees protection, I really popped for it over on this account 'cause of the ability to schedule posts. I dislike getting so wrapped up elsewhere that I end up forgetting to post the strip here either on Wednesdays or just Super Late in my day (like right now!). This gives me the chance to pop a finished strip up early, set it to drop when it needs to and you fine folks don't get stiffed 'cause I find myself away from my system at 3pm in the middle of the week. = ) The one thing I am going to miss is the HTML goofiness. I worked Hard on my little Journal skin. It had stamps and user bars and matched the comic's page... Good times.
