Another reminder about School Spirit’s upcoming Birthday Week on June 12th. At last count there is one piece from a reader that is going up on the front page during that week… and I’m not completely sure that person is even aware I’m going to use their contribution for this cause!

So… we could do with a few more in the next few weeks! You know… just in case any of you get bored!

Cheers.

I forgot to add a comment to this particular strip.

So now I did.

Cheers!

I just had to use that last panel a second time.

Quick reminder again about the eighth Birthday Week coming up in… a month. Send in some reader art to share with everyone over those six or seven days from June 12!

Cheers.

Another quick reminder of this year’s Birthday Week in mid June. Hunting up any reader art you lot out there want to send in for display on the site during those seven days.

But until Sunday, enjoy today’s strip. Help Brylcreem breathe!

Cheers.

Brylcreem’s own personal hell, eh?

Cheers.

Keep in mind School Spirit’s eight anniversary is approaching in about five weeks. Spots are open during the week of June 12 for guest art from the readers to go up to help the kids celebrate. If you’ve got an idea or an itchy drawing hand, send something fun along.

Cheers.

At the time of writing, I’m not sure on the length of this storyline. It may be the regular ten strips, but it may stretch out to seventeen to run right up to the Anniversary Week on June 12. We’ll wait and see, eh?

By the way… send in some Reader Guest Birthday Art for the Birthday Week! Looking for six of the best (but we’ll take everyone’s!) to put up daily through that week.

Cheers.

And here ends the current storyline. A new story from Thursday, and possibly a little longer than usual storylines. There are seventeen updates left before the eighth anniversary on June 12th.

Speaking of which, once again, School Spirit is looking for Reader Guest Art from you lot out there to go up every day of the week beginning June 12th. That meas you! If you want to draw your own School Spirit piece, write your own strip, re-write a previous official strip, write a poem, take a photo of something that looks vaguely like Cody, etc, go right ahead! Send them in and up they’ll go through that Birthday Week!

Cheers.

Firstly, Keys. This is a very neat and cleanly drawn and designed piece that starts with a retelling of an ancient legend before the relevant story begins. Pushing 80 story pages now, it is hitting its stride and looking great. The strip itself is fully operational, even if the auxiliary pages currently lead nowhere.

Secondly, Chirault. This is another brilliant looking comic that has been building it’s archive for several years. The artwork looks fantastic with watercolour effects and a soft, washed look. I don’t think I could summarise it better than the comic’s own About page, so I’ll just repeat that here:

Chirault is a fantasy webcomic, started in mid-2007 and currently updating one page every week (on Fridays). It’s about this weirdo named Kiran and this tiny kid who sits on his shoulder and tells him to do things. Sort of, anyway. There are also demons and imploding cities and the possibility of the world’s imminent demise, in roughly that order of mention. It’s a little complicated I guess.

Finally, have a look at Twilight Lady. A graphic novel styled comic featuring supernatural demonic events and a second, created  ‘personality’ that is threatening to become the dominant presence in the mind of the Twilight Lady, a god-like entity born into the world. I may not have done the strip justice with that summary, so go and give it a look yourself! Three strips a week, too!

Nearing the end of this storyline, as you can probably tell by the strip number. The aim is usually for storylines to fit into ten strips and finish on a nice round number.

So… now to start thinking of the next storyline… a little short of inspiration just at the moment. :)

Cheers.
