If you aren’t already a member, feel free to sign up. Either Bill or myself will approve you quickly. The forum has been extremely fun and positive so far. The only rules are NO FIGHTING, DON’T BE A JERK and RESPECT EVERYONE. Everybody has been playing nice and enjoying each others’ geekitude.

Check out this super shiny reader art from Fancy Bastard, Will Miller:

You can see more of Will’s art at his comic “The 602.” If you have any HE inspired art, please email it to comics(at)hijinksensue(dot)com.

We’ll be recording the podcast Satuday, June 14th before my birthday party, so leave you questions in the comments.

Here’s a piece of the original sketch from Monday’s comic:

I’ll be showing off more rough art, unpublished ideas, and complete orignal comic sketches (before the comics go live) on the Super Secret Blog that only HijiNKS Ensue Donators will have access too. I’m working on this now and hope to have it all squared away this week. Anyone that has EVER donated to HE in the past will have access to this content as if they donated the month it goes live.

It’s going to work like this: if you make a donation, you’ll get a password emailed to you that will give you access to the Super Secret Blog (need to pick a name for this). You’ll be able to view all the content from the beginning up through the month that you donated. The password will change each month. If you donate the last few days of the month, you WILL get next month’s password.

I’ll be posting: 

• Unfinished/Rough Art for comics, books and shirts, etc
• Monthly Desktop Backgrounds
• Videos and Audio that won’t be seen on HijiNKSEnsue.com
• Behind the scenes blog posts and such
• Various contests, drawings and other fun stuff

Remember, Donations are just that… donations. If you want to buy something valued equal to that of your monetary expenditure, please visit the store. If you want to help support me for making the comic, the podcast, the video blog, the forum, etc, etc, etc. then please consider donating. The Super Secret Blog and extra content will serve only as incentives or “thank you’s” for your generous contributions, and are not intended to be any sort of subscription based premium content.

Regardless, I’ll be playing this by ear and listening to your suggestions and feedback. Hopefully this will turn into a fun part of the HE experience, and help allow me to continue making the comic/podcast/etc. by supporting myself with these endeavors. 

Oh, I met an HE reader (that I didnt already know) for the first time. We were at a karaoke party hosted by FarrisG. He was a damn fine singer and had shoes with toes… like barefoot shoes.

If you heard Podcast #15, you may remember me mentioning some special reader art that I got from Didu in Finland. I finally posted it to Flickr, along with a sketch of me doing the Video Blog from Jarmo, and the FB Cake from Demiakumu.

Check them out on Flickr.

I’ll keep posting these, so send me your HE inspired creative masterpieces, either via email (comics (at) hijinks ensue (dot) com) or mail them to
