I will be on hiatus for all of August. I'll be pausing my Patreon and not putting out ANYTHING for a whole month. I'm going to work on some projects, but mostly I'm going to rest! There'll be a newsletter later this week still, but after that I'll see y'all again the beginning of September!

Digital illustration with the text "A Topaz Comics August Hiatus", then a large Darumaka looking at us saying "Jey and Max are going on hiatus for all of August!" she turns and starts running further away, then even further and further while saying "Even Jey's Patreon will be paused for a month. They'll be back in September with more comics & art!" an extremely tiny Darumaka in the very background says "Goodbye, I love you!" with a little heart.

My really popular barebones RSS comic from November 2022! I hope it helps you stay updated with your favourite webcomics, artists and websites. I’m just a simple guy who’s passionate about RSS feeds, comics and staying updated using both. Go forth and make the feed of your dreams! #Art #Comic #RSS

Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1: You might've seen this icon before. It's the RSS icon. But what is RSS? RSS is an update feed for a website. Every time the site publishes a post, article, comic page, etc. the feed is updated. Most websites have a RSS feed. Panel 2: You'll usually find it in a site's menu. It might also be on a sidebar or the footer. Panel 3: But if I click on it it's just a bunch of code! What gives? What am I supposed to do with it?! Panel 4: This is where you'll need a feed reader like feedly!Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1: One, on Feedly click the follow button. Two, copy the URL from the site's RSS button and add it to the search box. Panel 2: Three, this will bring up the feed for the site. Four, Add it by clicking the follow button. You can also search the name of the site without the RSS link but it's more accurate if you have the link. Panel 3: Add the new feed to a folder. Panel 4: Now the feed will appear on your Feedly when it updates! Panel 5: What I did was get the Feedly add-on for my browser. So every time a site I follow updates the extension lets me know! Panel 6: Clicking the title of the update opens the site in a new tab. I personally like seeing content on it's own site. But you can set everything up so you only ever need to open Feedly.Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1:If you run a site make sure your RSS button is easily accessible. The URL will usually be something like yoursite.com/feed or yoursite.com/rss. Panel 2: Be sure to follow your own RSS feeds to make sure they're updating properly. This way if it goes down for whatever reason you'll be able to catch the problem before your readers miss too many updates. Panel 3: And that's all there is to it! It's very customizable so play around with it to see what works for you! Panel 4: No fuss. No algorithms. Just the updates you choose to see! Hey! My favourite comic updated!

it's National Be Nice to Bugs Day!!!!!!!!! 🐝🐛🐜🐞🦟🦗🪲🪰 I've been drawing and learning more about different bugs to be less afraid of them, and it really helps! I love house centipedes now and they have really cute faces

A colour illustration of a house centipede. It's a 24-legged house centipede with its long legs extended out, three stripes down its shiny back, with two large antennae sticking out forward. This house centipede has been rendered for it's eyes to be bigger, so it looks cuter! In the right corner, a magnifying glass shows a separate illustration of an up close centipede face: it's face is broken up into segments, but it has large friendly eyes and its face has been cartooned to have a smile. Behind both drawings is the word "House Centipede."
