First up, Member★ is now active! We have already had our first sign up (thank you!) and it looks to be running as planned. Member★ is the Patreon alternative that I’m running locally on this site. It not only mirrors Patreon content but adds more, such as Sexy Losers content. Like Patreon, there are two tiers: one for seeing strips about a week before I post them publicly and a higher tier for getting those strips in two full resolution versions — a lettered version and an unlettered version. The higher tier includes lower tier early access as well. All tiers get access to the members only discord channel, #the-private-parts.
Click here for more information, or please ask me questions directly. This is my first time running anything like this, I’m bound to make mistakes or miss something, and I want to do this right.
Because I want to make this a site worth your time, I have made a number of improvements to the site over the last month, particularly in how you navigate it. There are nearly a thousand pages on the site so a manner to navigate through it painlessly is important. There is a grid with dropdown pagination so you can access any comic rather easily. You can also switch to a list view to make it faster, and this is the default for mobile devices. You can also hit a random button to get a random page, because why the hell not. Finally it’s all AJAX so you can navigate without having to change a page. This navigation is on the main page, the pages for each comic, and each character.
Another improvement I made is actually based on an old navigational system. On the old Sexy Losers site, you could hit previous or next on any comic, but you could also hit previous or next for any comic thread and character as well. Well, I’ve implemented it here too. Now you can just read the strips of one character effortlessly, read everything, or just go through it however you want.
So basically what I really wanted to do is not just draw comics and throw them on a website, but basically give them a home. I hope you enjoy the modifications to the new site. After this, I would like to turn my attention to the SL site, and make that a lot easier to navigate. I think that the site especially needs it, since right now finding particular strips is hard, and people are often looking for strips they kind of remember, and giving them a more visual navigation would help them find those old strips faster.
So anyway, thank you for reading, and if you can, please support my work on Member★ or Patreon or Ko-fi. I really do appreciate it, and it helps me keep this site alive, and free of ads (I really hate ads).
Thank you!
