It’s all too easy to forget that not everyone is viewing the internet at the same speeds you are, and it had never even occurred to me that my image files were too big, and I don’t know a whole lot about optimization (a while back, Chrome started displaying JPGs all weird and artifacty so I’ve just been saving everything as PNG ever since).</p> <p>Unfortunately, going through and changing all the images will be a huge chore, and one I won’t be able to do for a while. I will see what I can do about future comics though!</p> <p>EDIT: Actually, I’m probably going to update the back end of the site this weekend, let’s see about doing it then! I’m already in the process of optimizing the files, thanks so much again for bringing it up. I want the comic to be easy to read for everyone!</p>http://jailbirdcomic.tumblr.com/post/49442405253http://jailbirdcomic.tumblr.com/post/49442405253Thu, 02 May 2013 11:07:00 -0500<p><img height="531" src="http://an.oddlookingbird.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/blind.png" width="500"/>She is indeed!

Unfortunately, I have to push back Jailbird’s return to March 18th on account of me not having been able to work on it as much as I would have liked during February. In the meantime:</p> <p>1. I’ll be posting a lot more extra stuff! Lots of concept art and behind the scenes stuff. Like the above, which is a sketch of a scene from the next chapter! I’ll also be drawing answers to some reader questions that I’ve gotten.</p> <p>2. <a href="http://www.shiftylook.com/comics/bravoman/waya-gaiden-part-1of-9" target="_blank">Waya Gaiden</a>, my Bravoman miniseries for Shiftylook, will be updating with two strips a week!</p> <p>I apologize again for the wait!
