It’s been 90 strips since his hand held up a controller into one frame. Finally, Rowdy’s roommate, Dodd, makes his first full-frontal appearance.
I may need to rethink how I phrase things.

In this episode of Speed Commentary, I talk about Proof God Hates Me strip 98 and about the lettering process. And then I spin straw into gold. Or not.
Speed Commentary – Proof God Hates Me 98
Remember, you can download this episode onto your iPhone or iPod by subscribing to our podcast on iTunes.
If you are (or were) a frequent visitor to the main site, Proof God Hates Me, or Pandemonium, you will have noticed that updates have been sparse as of late. I wish I could tell you that the reason behind this has been that I’ve been working on some big project, but that is not the case. I could get into all the reasons why I haven’t been updating, but that’s not the purpose of this site. That’s what my lace-embroidered My Little Pony diary is for.
What it all boils down to is this, maintaining three WordPress sites and update two webcomics three times a week is too much work and I’m burned out. In all the reviews of my site, the one common thread (other than grammatical errors) has been that I attempt to put out a lot of content, too much for someone who has to work a full time job on top of webcomicking. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I want to continue making webcomics, I will need to drastically cut back on what I attempt to do. So, here are the changes that you will notice in the coming days:
- The Pandemonium site will no longer be updated. New Pandemonium comics will be posted only on the Jorge’s Home mainpage.
- I will only work on one webcomic project at a time. First, I’m going to complete PGHM up to comic 100 to complete the second volume. After that, I’ll return to Pandemonium to finish chapter 1.
- There will no longer be separate voting links for PGHM and Pandemonium.
- PGHM will only update once weekly (which I know is actually going to be increasing production, but the point here is to reduce how overwhelmed I feel so that I can actually continue to produce content).
- PGHM Commentary will no longer be available to download via iTunes by the end of the month.
The podcast will continue on without much change. You may not have been able to tell, but we really don’t put much effort into it. As far as the podcast is concerned, we’re actually increasing production there. The difference is that sitting around shooting the breeze or capturing video game contests is a lot easier and less time consuming than writing, penciling, inking, coloring, and lettering a webcomic.
For anybody who has been continually visiting the site, thank you so much for bearing with me as I desperately try to figure out what I’m going to do with my life. Jorge’s Home and the comics that I produce are not dead. I’m in the middle of a career change attempt, and it’s requiring a great deal of my time. As a reward (or punishment) for your patience, there’s a new episode of the podcast up for your listening pleasure. If you stream or download the episode here, you’ll only be getting the MP3 version. If you download via iTunes you’ll get the new and improved enhanced podcast version. Hope you enjoy it!
Now, when you click on the Top Web Comic voting link, you’ll get to see a special incentive comic entitled “Why I Suck at Webcomics Part 1″. I’ve never been able to break out of the 500 range on TWC and I’m hoping that with this incentive and your help we can finally make PGHM move up in the webcomic world.

Yay for pingbacks! If it weren’t for them I would have never know that Voltchamber included Proof God Hates Me in their list of 100 Free Webcomics. Now, I should admit that their list was not meant to be “best of webcomics” list, but it is still extremely flattering to be included with some of the online juggernauts included in the article.
