Hello my children!
Thought I'd give you all a little update on how thing's have been going for me eRepublik and IRL wise.
For those who don't know I've been battling Chronic Fatigue for the past six months. It's been frustrating to say the least and does effect me in many ways - from working to making comics to doing simple and basic things. That's why there are some days where I won't put up any comics as I don't have the energy to do any. At the moment it's a 50/50 battle which is better than what it was a month ago so it's just a day-by-day thing I need to deal with.
And no - me being sick in real life has nothing to do with Dear Father being sick in the comics. I had a few people ask me this so I'm making it clear that it has nothing to do with my real life situation. Dear Father being sick is just part of the storyline that's been building up over these months.
Speaking of comics I've got about 3 comics ready to post over the next few weeks and as of writing this I'm working on another 5 so I'm well ahead of the game given my situation. After those comics are done I'll start playing around with my new style which will be debuted down the road.
I thought I'd take the time now to ask you guys for some feedback - mainly with the style of how I've been posting up the comics. As you know I get in about 4 - 5 frames in a strip and there are generally 6 - 10 strips per comic.
As the comics will probably be getting a little bit longer, I decided that it might be time to break up the comics and post them in halves or thirds depending on how big they are. What do you guys think? Should the comics be broken down into "parts" and be posted over a week to help break up the reading?
Any other feedback is welcome but do be warned - those who have asked to be featured in a comic have ended up... well... ask Henry The 8th.
Thanks for all the support, votes and subs from everyone. It's great to see that even after doing these comics for over a year I'm still getting new fans. Your support means a lot to me and I'm happy to see that people are enjoying my comics. It helps to spread the word about my comics too so keep the shouts going!
Lots of love,
Dartreal.

Love the comics Dear Father, however I do not like reading so my vote is smaller comics throughout the week.
Publish what you have now!

Take it easy mate.
Smaller comics throughout the week Dear Father.
Once a aweek is enough. Like it all together... preferably on thursday-friday.

Never heard anyone say TL😉R for a comic.
Hello Master!
As for myself I like to read the whole thing in one post - even if this means new comics less often. However, if they are getting longer and you feel it's fitting to post them over a few days you should do that. I'll support you 100% either way 🙂
Take care Dartreal and remember that we love you! ❤
RAWWWR! VIKING BRUTE STRENGTH!
ALL HAIL DEAR FATHER! \o/
Your comics are awesome mate. If you ask me they can't be too long 🙂
Dart, I love that you post the whole story at once. If I have to wait to finish one I might have to kill someone so their lives are in your hands. Please don't make me wait to hear the end of a story!
Get better soon
Suspense is good, so maybe just half them
break up the comics, reduce the frequency and goddamit, take a break!!
Im guessing u r pretty young... chronic fatigue is a sign of something seriously wrong.
As far as the comics go, the question of timing reminds me of the Saturday morning comics when I was a little and how I had to wait my turn to get to read them. Your comics have that same quality, so that no matter what you decide, we're going to wait our turn to get to read them. : )
If you decide to publish them in 2 stages, then we can always easily reread the first stage or only read both when the 2nd. stage is published if we prefer.
The summer is going to be great for you. It's going to boost you, I just know it! *hugs
well first i hope you feel better
and no keep them in one comic if you keep its too much suspense having to wait to see whats gonna happen next !!
do it in capters and post a sumary in the top of each comic
i hope you feel better
🙂
I also want to say that your comics are the best thing that ever happened in this game and big reason to why I'm still playing. The first (and last) thing I do every day is checking for updates from The Dear Father. : )
Oh, and Bruce is my hero! : P
