Update: M_F (https://sh.itjust.works/u/m_f@lemm.ee has ) has kindly stepped up to be lead moderator on all the comic communities! That makes me very happy that they will continue!!! If you reached out to help, please work with M_F directly. Thanks again M_F!!!

TLDR: I’m sad to report that I will no longer be posting daily comics as I just don’t have the time :( If anyone wants to take over the daily posts, please DM me. Ideally, there would be 2-3 people to split up posting duties to make it easier.

The longer story is, I run my own graphics business which is my regular full-time gig. On top of that, at the beginning of the year. I started my lifelong passion project and created my own comic strip called Bello Bear (https://sh.itjust.works/c/bellobearofficial@lemmy.world). Sadly, there is only so much time in day and running a full-time business, a passion project, and also having some sort of home life at the same time is just not possible.

Even though posting the daily comics is only about a half hour of my time, it adds up. It’s also 7 days a week and though I’m a creature of habit, it is a grind. I would rather dedicate that time to my passion project, which is currently limited to only Mon, Wed, and Friday releases as I’m already stretched thin.

This is effective immediately for the following communities…

Calvin and Hobbes https://sh.itjust.works/c/calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world

The Far Side https://sh.itjust.works/c/thefarside

Garfield https://sh.itjust.works/c/garfield@lemmy.world

Bloom County  https://sh.itjust.works/c/bloomcounty@lemm.ee

Cyanide and Happiness https://sh.itjust.works/c/cyanideandhappiness@lemm.ee

If you are interested taking over the reigns for any of the comic communities, please DM me.

    Are you comfortable with handing over the lead mod role for each of the comics? I don’t know all the details, but I think being head mod affects certain mod actions? If you’re up for it, it seems like @MentalEdge@lemmy.world is taking over the daily posts here, and @nokturne213@sopuli.xyz is taking over !bloomcounty@lemm.ee. I’ve started posting the rest. One caveat is that I don’t think it’s a good idea to make the head mod someone on another instance, because cross-instance moderation actions can get weird sometimes.

      Sounds good to me!… It’s so great to have so many great people come together and keep the communities going. This is why I love Lemmy, it’s so unReddit.

      I have a .ee account as well that could be head mod for !bloomcounty@lemm.ee.
