Just a heads-​up: we’ve added a Project Won­der­ful ad box to our side­bar as a way of help­ing to sub­si­dize our Project Won­der­ful ad cam­paigns. If Google Ana­lyt­ics speaks the truth, then these ad cam­paigns were how more many of our cur­rent read­ers found Chronil­log­i­cal in the first place! Indeed, the great cycle of adver­tis­ing spi­rals on.

It’s not a par­tic­u­larly big ad box, nor is it in an insis­tently bla­tant spot, so we hope you don’t mind ter­ri­bly. And I can assure you that this is not the first step in our Master Plan to clog the site up with moun­tains of ads.

If you’re still cha­grined by the whole idea, think of it this way: now you can say that you read Chronil­log­i­cal back before we sold out! Think about how hip and indie that will make you. The answer is: extremely hip and indie.

Have you heard the news? Have you heard it?

There is a week­end coming up, and it is a week­end of web­comics. A “webcomics weekend”, if you will. The idea is a simple one: lots of people who are good at web­comics—read­ing them, writ­ing them, draw­ing them, etc.—plan to con­vene in west­ern Mass­a­chu­setts from March 20-22. The place is west­ern Mass­a­chu­setts because it’s the home of Dum­b­rella, Topa­toCo, and Octo­pus Pie, the folks who are gra­ciously host­ing this little festival.

John and I are par­tic­u­larly excited about this event because it is sched­uled on the for­tu­itous inter­sec­tion of our spring breaks. I’d peg the prob­a­bil­ity of us both being there at around 75%. Not bad!

If any read­ers plan on attend­ing, let us know and we can plan to meet up. It will be a party. A comics party!

P.S.: At the moment, we don’t have a good way of get­ting from Boston to East­hamp­ton. If you’re a Bostoner plan­ning to attend and wouldn’t be against help­ing out a pair o’ peri­patetic web­car­toon­ists, please let us know. We would be for­ever in your debt, and would gladly help pay our way in terms of gas fare and other expenses. Also, I can’t promise I won’t bring deli­cious snacks.
