Parhelion is one year old!

Thanks so much for your feedback, readership, and support! I’ve learned so much and had a wonderful time and met excellent people in this past year, and I’m so psyched to keep going. The story is a bit over a third complete by now, and hoo boy I’ve got some fun things for 2017 and beyond.

Also: January’s wallpaper is free for everyone right away!

(Catch this in full resolution here.)

My comic is one year old!

In that time, I got my tablet working again, realized that four shades of color work so much better than three, realized the benefit of editing passes and any sort of advance scripting, nailed down semi-coherent character designs, added color, got my own domain, and assembled a kickass readership.

Thanks so much for making this possible, every one of you! Even if one person cherishes it as The Weird Amorphous Gay Alien Pirate Comic, that is enough.
