Welcome to the new version of our site. As you can see, we’ve embraced a new format. I think it’s pretty spiffy! There will be tweaks in the days to cme. I’m not certain I like the color scheme. If you have suggestions or bug reports, please email us at contact@close-to-the-chest.com and let us know!
Sheesh, all this drama, you’d think I’d forgotten how to write comedy in favor of fanservice and wish fulfillment.
Just kidding, of course. My wishes are already fulfilled. And boobies are hilarious.
Also of note, in case you’re wondering about the conversation you missed, here’s something from http://www.kittyshow.com/ :
Emrys: Time for my two cents… I have actually been waiting for this moment for MONTHS people… MONTHS I tell you *flail* And I kinda surprized myself with this one… record time and it looks beautiful… Yay me!
I don’t know WHY i love THoM so much. I just DO. Shazram reminds me of myself. But with lightning powers.
Take a look. Maybe you’ll like it, maybe you won’t. I personally, inexplicably, love it. It’s witty and has a lot of potential for amusing plotlines. Plus, it’s lovely proof that a clever punchline doesn’t need stunning visuals.

Also I feel just a little bit of new-comic-creator solidarity. That may have an influence 
You and me, baby, ain’t nothin’ but…
Revelation!
So, on investigation, it’s interesting to note just how many of the negative comments on this site come from the same couple of IP addresses (or very close geographically). As such, the administration of this site will no longer engage in arguments with non-constructive commenters. Instead, all hateful or “flame” comments will be responded to with a link to this image (Used with permission from the creator, who actually knows how to comment civilly on a work).
As for those of you who have made positive comments, thank you kindly. Your input is always welcome. Also, constructive negative comments are welcome. We’d be presumptuous to assume we have nothing to learn from our audience.
And to those of you who have continued coming back every day, the surprisingly massive silent audience, thank you for your continued patronage. Great things are in store for you.

So… apparently we have nay-sayers who seem to think that art is beyond my skills… Allow me to set the record straight… I have been doing the art thing for 10 years, won awards, sold pieces, the whole bit… Weekly comics are fairly new to me, I am still adjusting to having a deadline for something… so I dont always get to spend the hours upon hours on a strip that I would like to… Or I got distracted and played Rockband or Overlord for way more time than I should have… Anyways… I offer proof to my artistic awesome!
I actually plan to play more with shading using the tablet… I actually love this piece… it came out a lot better than I had hoped for…
Watch for awesome on Friday!
After that, [things] got sour…
