Slightly Damned has been nominated for Ursa Major Awards in the categories of Best Anthropomorphic Graphic Story and Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work. Thanks so much, you guys! But the fight for recognition isn't over. SD needs votes in each category in order to WIN!
What are the Ursa Major Awards?
"It is intended as Anthropomorphic (a.k.a. Furry) Fandom's equivalent of the Hugo Award ® presented by the World Science Fiction Society, mystery fandom's Anthony Award, horror fandom's Bram Stoker Award, and so forth."
For those of you that want to know more about the UMA's, you can visit the official website here: www.ursamajorawards.org/index.…
How can I help?
Go to the Voting 2012 page here: www.ursamajorawards.org/voting… and follow the simple instructions to vote for Slightly Damned (in 2012, meaning pages #479-#563) in the categories of Best Anthropomorphic Graphic Story and/or "Slightly Damned Book One" in the category of Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work! Since SD was already nominated (thanks again!) it will already be listed; all you need to do is click a number (preferably a 1!) and submit your vote.
Wait, why do you care? I thought you didn't like the furry label?
I just don't like being limited. If I went around calling Slightly Damned a furry comic, then people would think it's only for furries because of the stigma attached to that label. Slightly Damned is for everyone! And it would be nice to get some recognition for once.
...Besides, if works like "Brave" and "Rise of the Guardians" qualify, I don't see why Slightly Damned wouldn't.
Voting ends on May 15! Thank you for your continued support!

Did you know that I've started hosting a podcast with my friends at MONSTER HIVE (www.monsterhive.net/)? It's called Hivecast, and there's a new episode out every other week. We talk about all sorts of storytelling themes, gripes, cliches, and we kind of get drunk and cuss a lot. It's a grand old time! You can listen to the show right on the MONSTER HIVE website (www.monsterhive.net/category/h…) or catch it on iTunes (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mo…) if that's what you prefer.

The first Slightly Damned book is finally on sale at IndyPlanet! I know the price is a bit steep and it takes a while, but that's what happen when you have a print-on-demand title that's as big and colorful as this book! Believe me, the book looks great!
Here's the link to its IndyPlanet listing: indyplanet.com/store/product_i… Yes, they ship internationally!
If you want to see a video of what it looks like on the inside, I have one here on Flickr (although it's a video of the flawed first book, they are practically the same thing): www.flickr.com/photos/the_chu/…
...And if you don't want or can't afford a hard copy, a digital version of the book is now available on IndyPlanet Digital: www.indyplanet.com/digital/pro… It features the exact same content at a fraction of the price.

Happy 20th Anniversary, Slightly Damned!
On March 14, 2004, I posted the very first page of Slightly Damned online on my personal website. I built the site myself from notepad and updated it manually for years. Every page of the comic was a separate .html file, and it as inefficient as heck! I remember getting emails from folks telling me their internet speeds couldn't handle the high quality JPEGs I initially put up. Those could exceed 500kb EACH! So I decided to replace them with lower quality ones that were under 200kb for a while... Wait, where was I? Oh, excuse this old fart for reminiscing. With the current state of the modern internet, I can't help but feel wistful for the world wide web as it was when I first started Slightly Damned. Slightly Damned is 20 years old now! I never imagined I would keep up with it for this long. When I first started, I was just an ambitious teenager with no real thoughts about the future. I didn't even think about collecting the comic into books. I assumed no one would want

Hey all, Chu here! In February I'll be working on preparing for the Slightly Damned Book Three Kickstarter! If you drop by my art streams on Twitch during February, then you'll be able to see me work on updating the Book Three cover and redrawing certain pages. Time permitting, I also plan to make the long overdue chapter covers for Book Five: Part Nine and Part Ten. --- The Ursa Major Award nominations are open until February 11! https://ursamajorawards.org/nominations.htm It would mean a lot to me if you could write in to nominate Slightly Damned for "Best Graphic Story"! Getting nominated-- and ideally, winning-- helps attract new eyes to the comic, which is essential for its ongoing success. But don't forget that you can nominate up to 5 creations per category, so please be generous and vote for other works that you enjoy as well! The Ursa Major Awards also have a Fursuit category, and 2022 just happens to be year where I got my very first fursuit! You may have seen it in

2020's Almost Over!
Hey folks! Just wanted to write a new journal to let you all know how I'm doing these days, what's coming next, and update information on where to find me. The Slightly Damned Kickstarter to print a new and improved version of Book 2 was a smashing success! I just finished drawing nearly all the bonus material for it, and before you know it, it'll be off to the printers. 2020 was a pretty tough year, as I'm sure all of you know. It got even tougher when a friend of mine suddenly passed away in fall. A week later, one of our cats became ill and we had to put him down. I still did my best to hold things together, work on the Kickstarter campaign and work on the book while also keeping up with my normal obligations. And, well, now I'm really tired and I need a break!! Slightly Damned is fast approaching its 1000th page. Quite a milestone. I have decided that once we reach it, I am going on a short sabbatical. There will be no new pages from the 1000th page's debut on January 2 until
