UltraCrispy Issue #1 has been posted, and with that I say goodbye to IRKWORKS. Well, the web site will remain, but I will no longer update it. The same goes for the IRKWORKS LiveJournal site. See ya at UltraCrispy and the UltraCrispy blog from now on.

Crawling Back to the Cold, Slimy Embrace of the Internet
April 18, 2009

Hello, sports fans! I hereby notify my fellow cybercitizens of my imminent return to the internet. I'll be posting comics again, but not at IRKWORKS. New work shall appear at

UltraCrispy.com

("Crispy," as in "Chris P.," as in "me." "Ultra" as in "inferiority complex.")

Things will be a little different over there. Each update, or "issue,"  will be in the form of a large "wall of images" -- a hodgepodge of comic strips, illustrations, and other visual stimuli. This time around I'm cranking up the experimentation and toning down the self-censorship. I'm not alone, either. Work by others is to be featured as well. Here's a useless preview:

Hey, Crispy, I thought you were trying to get published. Well, Mr. Italics, I'm glad you asked. I find the economy, the ailing book industry, and the even-more-ailing comic book industry a little too daunting for an attempt to get published. Besides, every time I sit down to write the next great American graphic novel, I instead doodle the kind of stuff that belongs at UltraCrispy. So I'll see you over there in a week or so!

IRKWORKS is on indefinite hiatus.
December 28, 2008

I could probably say this site will never be updated again, but I suppose there is still the slimmest of chances I'll change my mind. That said, I don't plan on removing IRKWORKS content from the web anytime soon.

I have several reasons for going on hiatus, none of which includes quitting comics. Instead, I'd like to shift my efforts to getting published. If that fails, then I'll come crawling back to the cold, slimy embrace of the internet. However, I'd post comics at a different web site. (I just can't stand the name "irkworks.com.") Whether it's in print or on the web, I'll probably make comics that deviate from my usual schtick. Something a little more innovative or unique. Something that does a better job of holding my interest and igniting my passions. Well, until then, see you later.
