A small update today. First, there's a new page up:
There'll be more soon...
-----------------------------------
Of somewhat lesser interest, I've also replaced some older pages with updated art:
Introduction page #1 -- previously there was a drawing of the riverboat "The Admiral" right in the top row of panels. While this boat did exist in 1920, it was named "The Albatross" at the time and had not yet received its sleek, metal art deco veneer, so this was a historical inaccuracy I felt needed to be resolved. The drawing has been replaced by a Streckfus Steamer - something much more characteristic of the St. Louis Mississippi riverfront at the time. These "infernal noise machines" were famous for featuring live musical acts in the early days of jazz as they traveled up and down river.
Lackadaisy Rumrunner -- The artwork for this particular page was simply so old and so out of sync with the rest of the pages, it needed to be refurbished. It's easy to lose sight of how much unwitting evolving (or devolving, depending on who you ask) artistic style and character designs can undergo over a span of time.

Two new pages are up today. I've spent some time building up a buffer set of pages in hopes of stabilizing update rates over the coming months, so I do intend to update again next week. My profound apologies for delays...as usual.
New:

Lackadaisy StrangleholdAlso, I'm very honored and very proud that Lackadaisy has picked up some WCCA awards this year. Thank you again to those who nominated and voted for it. It means a great deal to me - I only regret not posting these more immediately (it's assuredly not out of ingratitude).
A notable portion of the credit for the web site award I have to attribute to Jay Lim. It's his Tomekeeper web comic manager that keeps this site functioning smoothly and his handiwork that keeps the forums doing likewise. Thank you, Jay. =)
