*insert Fox-style shocked noise*

Ancient Chinese Secret

Lamentably, I made up the Chinese kiosk, unless they’ve put one up since I last went to Navy Pier. Anything is possible…

Hunter, Hunted

Thanks for the paranoia, Mom.

Sorry for the delay, folks, but with this strip we swing into the end of the chapter! I don’t know about you, but I am giddy.

You Can’t Go Home Again

Something is rotten in the city-state of Chicago.

On an artistic note, I liked the hatch shadows from last strip so much, I did ‘em again! It takes a lot longer, but it’s worth feeling proud of my toning (for once).

The Women

Dealing with Celeste ain’t looking so bad now, is it?

Notes: the picture in Talia’s office is a very simplified version of Palmer Potter’s Lake Shore castle. Gorgeous, exorbitant, demolished.

The duck-tailed gentleman from the CAF is my weak attempt at drawing Mr. Wonderful from Yahtzee Croshaw’s book Mogworld, which I highly recommend to MMORPGers, gamers who have heard of MMORPGs, or goofy Anglophiles in general. (Incidentally, Yahtzee just released a 2D platform game called Poacher, wherein you get to blast bunnies with a shotgun. Sold.)

Yes, Dear

And with that, he is a broken man. Have a good weekend!

Needs, Wants

You know just what to say, honey.

Sleeping with the Enemy

Daniel, I advise you to start drinking heavily.

By the way, the Kama Sutra board game totally exists.

NOTICE Schedule change

Shannon — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:23:13 +0000

Hi, folks. I’ve been doing Wighthouse for…oh, a while now, and I’ve noticed (keenly) that I don’t always update on time. I’ll delay updating a day, or I’ll throw up some filler instead of a strip. This has not made me happy in the slightest. I always strive to give you the best comics I can, regardless of how often life gets in the way.

So, I’m going to try something new: I’m relinquishing my Monday/Thursday schedule, and updating whenever I get a strip done. I think webcomics have reached the point where a creator doesn’t necessarily have to update at a pace set in stone. Plus I’m hoping that this way, I will think of Wighthouse as less of a job and more of a really really important hobby.

I’ll be letting y’all know when I update via the following means:

my RSS feed
Twitter
Wighthouse’s Facebook page
my Google+ stream
inkOUTBREAK, a nifty comics aggregator

If you have any comments or problems with these methods, technical or otherwise, send me a tweet or drop me an email.

Thanks for sticking with me through thick and thin. I’d rather emphasize quality over quantity, and get more excited over comics in the process. When I’m excited, you’re excited, and that’s the way it should be.

The Ultimate Burn

Emergency services are on their way to place Daniel in the appropriate sick burn ward.

Thanks to Dave Dixon (@PrimoOptimoso on Twitter) for unknowingly supplying me with a great name for my sex shoppe. I imagine it’s in the same area as a pub of my own making, The Pointy Dildo.
