Hi folks! You may have noticed I haven't been as consistent with weekly Slightly Damned pages as I used to be. I know I've noticed, and it sucks! My passion for making this comic burns brighter than ever, and I want to make making pages my top priority again!

I probably should have just taken an official chapter break now that we've reached the end of Part 11. (I think.) However, in classic Chu fashion, I believed I could will myself through an inhuman workload... but alas, it was not meant to be. Part 12 of the story is important and somewhat heavy, so I don't want to rush things right before I leave for Megaplex in Orlando, Florida next week!

I've recently announced some changes to my Patreon in order to get more breathing room into my work schedule. You can read the details here, but the short of it is that I'm not able to keep up with the Suggestion Box. I started to feel like it was holding me back from other things that were more important, including but not limited to: updating the lore & art on the Slightly Damned website, making better merchandise, and keeping the weekly update schedule steady. All patron rewards pertaining to Slightly Damned pages will not change, and in fact, stand to benefit from this change as I try to become more consistent again.

This autumn, I have three goals:

  • Finish the remaining Suggestion Box sketches and wallpapers for July 2023 and August 2023
  • Draw all the bonus content for Slightly Damned Book Three with the cooperation of Kickstarter campaign backers (and hopefully complete the book so it can be printed)
  • Get Slightly Damned's weekly page updates back on schedule!

If all goes well, I'll be able to draw a wider variety of things while also giving Slightly Damned its fair share of love in 2024 and beyond.

Thanks for sticking with me for all these years! I'm looking forward to the 20th anniversary next March!

Hiya folks! Thanks for being so patient with me. I've been spread a bit thin this year due to bad luck, a lot of behind-the-scenes work, frequent traveling to conventions, and most recently, I got sick. (Thankfully, I am already nearly back to full health.) I am happy to report that the conventions have been going really well! Now, onto the big news:

The "behind-the-scenes work" I mentioned is actually related to Slightly Damned! The Third Bookification project (aka crowdfunding for Slightly Damned Book Three) is finally set to launch-- in less than a week! The campaign goes live on Friday, July 28th, 2023!

Oh, and I'll do my best to have new weekly page updates resume on the day after: Saturday, July 29.

I've still got two more conventions I'm signed up for this summer, so I thank you again for your patience. I'll do my best to keep up and/or catch up with everything I have on my plate!

Hello, folks!  Thank you for being patient while the comic is on a brief hiatus. I am still working hard behind the scenes, and things are progressing smoothly.


After many years, I finally made covers for chapters nine and ten of the Slightly Damned! Check out Part Nine: Through Fang and Flame and Part Ten: Atop the Tree of Peace!


Slightly Damned has been nominated for an Ursa Major Award for "Best Graphic Story"! Thank you all so much for your support and participation! A nomination like this is an honor, and, I hope, helps potential fans find the comic to enjoy. The competition is fierce this year, as always, but if Slightly Damned is your favorite in that category, then please take a few moments to vote for it!

And don't forget the other categories, too!

New Slightly Damned pages are still on hold for the time being. In less than two weeks, I'm going to be a vendor at my first furry convention in another country-- Furnal Equinox in Toronto, Canada! I hope to catch up on Patreon rewards and new Slightly Damned pages after rest from my return.

Stay safe out there!
