I'm flying out for a week in Japan (22 February- 2 March). Comics should update as normal (Irregular Webcomic! will be doing reruns daily). But if something goes wrong, I won't be able to fix things until I return home. See you on the flip side!

Hiatus week! That's the fun way to say I don't have comics ready and need a bit more time to make some new ones...

Sorry for the two-week hiatus. We're back to new strips again!

Sorry folks, I had another busy week, so 2-6 September will be reruns again instead of new comics. I hope to get new comics made for next week.

Sorry folks - the buffer has run down and I don't have enough time to make new strips this week (26-30 August). So enjoy reruns this week!

Oops! I missed Friday's update due to a combination of being too busy to remember to make a new comic, going out for the evening, and then going straight to bed. Sorry about that, folks! I'll try to run what should have been Friday's strip on Saturday instead, and skip a rerun.

UPDATE on website technical issues: I've managed to fix problems with the last two updates, but the server is still not behaving properly. I'm not sure what will happen with the next update (Saturday's rerun comic).

UPDATE: It's still not clear why automated updates have failed the past two days, but I have manually fixed the 23 May strip and it should be visible now. The 24 May update has also failed to appear on the home page, but the strip is visible here: #5200.

Comics have not updated today (23 May) for some reason, and the server is rejecting my login. Clearly something is wrong, but I don't know what. I'll fix things as soon as I can.

Update: Thursday's new strip #5199 is accessible here, it just hasn't appeared on the home page for some weird reason that I don't yet understand.

Oops! I thought yesterday was Wednesday, not Tuesday, and when the automated update didn't update to Wednesday's comic, I panicked and ran it manually, then went straight to bed. The result is that both Tuesday's (5182) and Wednesday's (5183) comics were published on Tuesday. To correct this, there will be no new comic appearing on Wednesday. 5184 will appear Thursday, as it should.

There will be a brief break in new comics, since I have run out of buffer and I'm too busy this week to make more new ones. Enjoy daily reruns this week and hopefully there will be new comics next week!

Quiz: What's unusual about this scene?

One of the fans on my Patreon Discord server has gone to the trouble of finding and acquiring all of the old miniature figures I used for the Fantasy gang, and then painting them up in the canonical colour schemes. These are not the figures used to make the comics. Wow!

I have decided to sell a lot of my old collections of Magic: the Gathering cards, as well as Netrunner (1996) cards and factory sealed Blood Bowl miniatures that I never got around to painting. If this interests you, please see my selling page here. I'm selling directly to fans of my comics first, before resorting to eBay or other methods.

I am travelling overseas from 4-20 November. I've been unable to buffer new comics to last through my trip, so we'll stick with reruns while I'm away. I expect to make new strips when I get home. If something goes wrong with the site while I'm away I won't be able to fix it until I get home. See you after my trip!

Apologies, I hoped to have new comics this week, but I've been too busy preparing for my upcoming trip. There will be reruns again this week (30 Oct-3 Nov). I'm not sure if I'll have any new strips ready by the time I fly out on Saturday. I'll update then.

There will be no new strips this week (23-27 October). I've been busy buffering comics for Darths & Droids prior to travel in November and didn't have time to make new IWC this week. Enjoy reruns this week!

Sorry folks, I need some extra time to deal with urgent and labour-intensive website upgrades that can't wait any longer, so I need to take a short break from making new IWC comics. New comics will return by the end of July. In the meantime, enjoy a rerun strip every day.

I am taking a vacation trip to Japan from 17 June to 1 July. Comics are buffered and should update automatically as normal. However, if something goes wrong, I will be unable to fix it until I get home.
