Just a notice to people asking about a Christmas strip. No, you didn’t miss one, I decided to just continue on with the story line. Randomly putting characters in Santa hats would look a bit weird. Oh, and the spelling mistake in last weeks strip has been changed. Thanks to those who spotted it

I’m back. Tell your friends.

Yes, it’s been a long time, three months. The last update was before I left for university. There was a period when I was without internet and couldn’t update, but by the time I was connected I was swamped with work and couldn’t spare the time.

Now that it’s the holidays I have a bit of spare time so the comics return, I’ll try to build up a buffer so another surprise hiatus doesn’t loom over the horizon. I’ll post the first update after this blog post, and it will be a three a week schedule for the holidays. I’ll gauge what kind of schedule I can maintain during university once I return.

Also, to mark the return of updates, I updated the site design! There are a few finishing touches to go yet, but it’s pretty much there. I’ve tested it on the modern browsers (Opera, FF and IE7) but I have no idea if it works on IE6 which some of you are still using, so let me know if you spot any bugs. And let me know what you think!

Ok, I am now a feed burner convert. Feedburner will take your normal rss feed and sprinkle some magic dust on it. Well, I guess that’s how they do it any way. Feed burner allows the feed owner to see some pretty cool statistcs about their subscribers, including how many people have subscribed, popular feed items, live hits, the reader’s underwear colour. Ok, that last one is not strictly speaking true.

The point of this post is that I am now using a feed burner feed on the site, and I want all of you who have subscribed to the feed to subscribe again, using the new links. It would be doing me a HUGE favour. Please please please? All you need to do is unsubscribe from the current feed, and then click here to subscribe again. I’ll be putting up another link on the site soon.

Thanks guys.

Ok, so I promised a post, and here it is. I actually tried making a video blog post, but, bah, it didn’t go so well. Figured it’d be quicker to type it out. So, an explanation for the comic’s tardiness last week? I have a new site that launched today! Go me. It’s called fartoocute.com.

Immediately most of you will guess from the name that it’s completely different to my work here at apathetic rant, and you’re pretty much right. Far too cute is just a fun new site I came up with, a place I can put some of the random doodles I do throughout the day. They just happen to be cute…

Don’t worry though, I’m not going anywhere! Apathetic Rant will continue in its updates. Far too cute just gives me a secondary outlet, something different to sink my teeth, or graphics pens into. The grumpy Mike is still here, just as bitter as ever, and not even a few cute toons can stop his rants!

The site updates twice a week, Monday and Fridays, leaving Tuesdays and Thursdays for Apathetic Rant. So why not head on over, comment on a few of the toons, and, most importantly, do that whole web 2.0 thing, tell your friends, post it to facebook, stumble it, myspace it, tell your grandma. Heck, tattoo the URL to your forehead if you want. Anything to spread the word, I’ll love you forever. And if you happen to mention Apathetic Rant whilst you’re doing, so much the better!

My brother explains why my webcomic sucks and why you shouldn’t read it:

Ok, so I made this a few days ago, but only just got around to posting about it here:

Another video blog entry - exams, hosts and cookies - this video has them all!

Guess who is back with another video blog entry. Because actually typing a blog entry is like so yesterday man… Totally. (I am very much down with the kids on the street)

I was going to write a blog entry but I have a fancy new webcam and a busted wrist, so I made a video instead. Check check check it out!

So I promised them, so here they are, or rather, there they are. Over there.
