I missed my Monday update window, but I have family visiting so I'm gonna cut myself some slack. The next episode is on the verge of completion, so I'm not gonna miss by much, so that's good.

I don't have much to say today, but I did want to let everyone know I've started uploading the comic to Tapas. I'd been thinking about doing that for a bit, but I just hadn't. I finally figured, hey, why not? It gives people more options for following the story so it couldn't hurt. Now between the site, Webtoon, Tapas, and even DeviantArt, there are plenty of options for people to have to read.

If you use either Tapas or Webtoon, please subscribe! If there's one thing those outlets have over the main site, it's the option to be notified of updates.

Small update, but I went through and cleaned up the character profiles a little bit so they look better on mobile. After looking though the site traffic, it seems that most people are dropping in on mobile so I want to make sure the site works best for that. Unfortunately, no level of optimization seems to fix the issue I see when I use my Android tablet. For whatever reason, the website doesn't like "portait view" on a tablet. I would hope it would just format everything the way it does for my phone, but nope. It treats it like a really small computer screen end cuts things mid-word sometimes. Really weird. If you have this issue, just use your tablet in landscape mode for any non-comic pages here. The comic at least still works in portrait view on tablet. Small miracles, I guess.

Episode 9 is almost done, but it won't be up today. I have been thinking about it and I'm going to try to shoot for a Monday update schedule going forward. That allows me to work on the upcoming comic over the weekend, when I honestly have to most time to actually draw. My brain is the most artsy starting around 9pm, but during the work week starting to draw that late is a bad idea. I end up staying up way too late, waking up exhausted, and then not getting back to drawing for a day or two.

Plus, I need to do a better job promoting the comic on social media and I thought having #MixtenGeneticsMonday would be catchy.
