Heya Everybody.
I’ll start out with the TL;DR version for convenience’s sake:
Temporarily, KB will be updating once a week (on wednesday)
Now for the long version:
As some of you know, this is a very transitional period in my life. I’m out of college and in the middle of trying to figure out how to best support myself monetarily while keeping a maximum amount of time for the things I love to do.
At the moment, that means I’ve taken on several coloring jobs. Coloring has always been my favorite part of the process, and the fact that people like my stuff enough to pay me to do it to THEIR art brings me some serious joy.
But it also means I have about five things going on right now, which makes it difficult to devote two days a week to drawing my comic.
I want to stress that this is not the beginning of some downward spiral for KB where I eventually abandon it. I know updates have been all over the place time-wise, and it might seem to the layperson that I don’t care. KB is still very close to my heart, and I can’t wait to show you guys some of the events that are coming up in the story. But it’s a very small chunk of my income right now, so at this point I need to prioritize where the money is.
As soon as I get caught up on all this work, KB will resume its normal schedule. At this latest, that will be early March, after Emerald City Comiccon (which I’m excited to exhibit at once again!)
Thank you so much for sticking with the comic despite these ups and downs, and I hope you continue to enjoy it! Nothing brings me more creative satisfaction than people caring about this world I’ve created. And I’ll see you with a new page tomorrow!
Meanwhile, you can always check out my art twice a week on the Trenches, as well as my coloring on Scott’s new comic Table Titans.
KB is awesome, and I am glad you are keeping it up. Do what you need to to make your dreams come true. You are awesome, your art is awesome, and keep on keeping on
Don’t push yourself! Even if you have to drop permanently to once-a-week, we’ll understand. Well, I will anyway. I know all too well the dangers of deadlines.
I appreciate that you gave us this update on a Tuesday right before an update, instead of a Thursday right after the update! Somehow that softens it.
I understand totally! I know how deadlines can pile up, it’s ok if you need to spend more time on your work!
I usually just check in on your comic when there are updates but I wanted to let you know I am really enjoying it and look forward to the future ones as you can do them. Thanks for the update!
Don’t sweat it! We understand that webcomics don’t rake in all the cash. As long as you’re supporting yourself and still giving us KB, everything is fine.
I’m just glad you decided to tell us and didn’t leave us in the dark
Considering we still get Cube art 2x a week from Table Titans and Trenches, we’re making out pretty good in this deal. Keep at it Cube, you’re blowing us away with everything you’re doing!
I’ll only accept this if the one comic a week is of excellent quality.

So pretty much the same level of quality you’ve been giving us.
It’s great to be doing something you love, and getting paid for it. Great job on getting that far, Cube! I’m sure nobody minds if updates are a bit slower for it. Keep up the good work!
Hey, works work and it pays the bills. And the fact that you’ve not yet put KB on outright hiatus is most appreciated.
