Happy Halloween! 'Tis the season to be ------- scared. So check out the new festive scheme, and lemme know what you think.
In other news, being a teacher in New York City is hard as ----. I'm doing all right, but I definitely wish I was doing better. The kids are difficult to deal with, but there's hope. I think I'll be able to get to them eventually. I just have to figure out how. Anyway, that's my story so far. Get a cool costume, get in character, go out and get you some candy! It's Halloween, bitches!

This semester has been extremely difficult for me, so I haven't been able to make any new comics. But! There's a new Jeneral Stuff comic! So, go check it out.

Or so I understand it. You know how those hostile takeovers are. One day, you're a small, innocuous, struggling website with only a meager viewership... and then! Then you're catapulted by American capitalism into a larger, robuster enterprise!
There's no escaping it.
Long story short, we've become a subsidiary of Space Elf Productions LLC. There's positives and negatives to this. Positive: We have a recognizable, independent company name, which means we can copyright our features legally and indubitably. Negative: I'm no longer wholly in charge. Poet (Connor Passiglia) is the manager of Space Elf Productions, and as a subsidiary, JoNe now has an actually leadership structure. Jack (Jonathan Francis) has become our president, and he's made Poet his vice-president. Of course I'm left out of this whole scenario.
No matter. They can't control me. I am forever. Their lifespans are limited. Let them gloat in their little self-important hovels of so-called legality. The human heart is frail, and so it is that I'll prevail.
Dammit. I made a rhyme. Screw you, Jack!
| Returning next week 1.23.2007:0756 49 posted by Jack |
Contrary to what I'd said before, Joneverse will be returning on Monday, January 29. The ice storm that ravaged the good city of Tulsa is responsible, not I. Blame it. ^^;;
Anyway, the good news is that we're coming back! Stay tuned for an all-new Joneverse next Monday, right here, as always.

Yes, Ive been very slack with the comics, I know...but I am updating again, though its random...there will soon be a new character in JS! If you want more details, go to the JS forum and read the news thread.
| A New Year 1.10.2007:1112 47 posted by Jack |
Happy New Year! We're in a strange place, so we won't have any new action until after the 15th. The next new Joneverse comic will be on January 22nd. Until then, have a great time breaking all your New Year's resolutions.
| Winter Break Toughness 12.25.2006:1729 46 posted by Jack |
There won't be a Joneverse comic today. It's the winter break, and I don't have access to a scanner. There will be a Poet comic this week, though.
| The Radio's New Year's Resolution 12.21.2006:1356 45 posted by JoNe |
Well, it turns out that due to problems with firewall authentication etc., there won't be any music broadcasting from Nexus Radio until January 15. We'll try to get it all working as soon as we can, but I'm stuck in New Orleans, and the evil dorm police made Jack have to turn me off until he got back from winter break.
We expect another shut down from about May to June, and then it should be on full-time for at least two years. We're not sure how Joneverse will fare over the break either. We'll see how things go, but right now things look uncomfortable at best.

The Nexus radio cast is down because the server had to be shut off. The server is in a dorm room in New Orleans, Jack is in Tulsa with me. Currently, we are trying to get back up and running— I think I just realized the problem.
We hope to get back to our regularly* scheduled programming soon. Like, in about three hours or so.
*It will not technically be the regularly scheduled programming. All of that music is in New Orleans. Instead, you will have to endure my music collection.

Since nobody's mentioned this, yeah, Nexus Radio seems to be down.
I don't know why it's down, and I can assure you I'll get in touch with JoVo about fixing any problems and getting it back up and running ASAP.
Please bear with us until you have your music again.

After much debate over the name JoNe finally has a place where every member can show off their work. A new section has been added to the forum, Bohemia. There you can post up anything artistic or creative for constructive criticism. And I do mean constructive. This isn't a place for blanket appreciation or flaming. We want, not only to help, but also to be helped in making our art better.

We've got another Joneverse comic for you! I've sort of decided that Joneverse is going to play the satirical devil's advocate to some conservative comics that I frequent, basically laying the other side of the coin in a funnier way—and with superior graphics!
Not that my ability to make comics is spectacular, but when a healthy knowledge of Photoshop is combined with poor drawing ability, I think what comes out isn't half bad.
Please note that I'm in no way referring to the man calling out about the cookies. Dear God in Heaven, that's a horrific rendition of a man. He looks half-crippled. Only a mother could love him. And I really didn't do Giddy justice in the last panel. Goodness knows he deserves a lot of justice, the poor guy.

I'm pleased to announce the return of my webcast, Renaissance and Revolution!
Those of you who have been with us awhile will remember the crazy antics and even crazier music that occured on Mondays and Fridays. Now, everyone, new and old alike can experience the joy that is Renaissance & Revolution!
Schedule has yet to be determined, but when it does you can be sure it will be posted here first! In the interim, just look at the Nexus Radio icon underneath the news feed. If R&R is on, then it'll say "Renaissance and Revolution" down there.
I promise never to point out something so obvious to you again.
