Big announcement regarding my comic strip!

[Pab Sungenis]

I've been chomping at the bit to announce this. It's been in the works for months, became official last week, and was just formally announced tonight so I'm finally free to discuss it.

However, I think it's only appropriate to let Her Maj say a few words first.



Last week I signed a three-year deal with GoComics, the online division of Universal Press Syndicate. GoComics has agreed to distribute The New Adventures of Queen Victoria, and I will be developing other features which UPS/GoComics will have the option of picking up.

The current Comics Sherpa and LiveJournal feeds of "Queen Victoria" will come to an end next Saturday, April 14, 2007. Preparations are already underway to move the feature onto gocomics.com and mycomicspage.com (we're preparing the strip's archives for migration right now and while we don't have a firm "go live" date for the strip at the moment, but I expect it to be up and running before the end of next month. After it goes live, "Queen Victoria" will be available on the gocomics.com web page, through the My Comics Page subscription E-Mail service, and will be sharing an on-line home with such features as "Garfield," "Doonesbury," classic "Bloom County" and "Calvin and Hobbes," and "For Better Or For Worse."

The next big announcement is the coming launch of my second feature. Through our company, 2,000 Monkeys With Typewriters, Kris Leeds and I have been developing a new comic strip called "Nutshell," which I hope will live up to the high standards for witty writing, surreal humor, and quirkiness set by "Queen Victoria." Current plans are for "Nutshell" to launch Monday, May 21st, in the LiveJournal and Comics Sherpa spaces vacated by "Queen Victoria." I'm hoping you'll all give it a look, and I hope it will meet with your approval.

I'd like to thank everyone who has made "Queen Victoria" the unexpected success it has become. From a private joke only meant to amuse myself to worldwide syndication in just a year, and almost all of it by word of mouth. Thank you one and all!
