We're not even close to being done with HTMLOSPHERE but we're gonna hit the pause button here to catch our breath and do something different for the next few weeks.

Neat Hobby has no business plan. No monetization scheme, no merch, no Kickstarter, no Patreon, and as of today, no ads (they're ugly and barely worth the trouble). I don't track page views or unique visitors or any of that junk. I promised myself I wasn't going to do anything like that until I could prove to myself that I could keep Neat Hobby up and running with no other motivation but my desire to draw.

You know what I would like, though? More readers! So if you're interested in keeping up with the comic, I've added a bunch of new options for you:

• if you're tired of Facebook hiding updates from you, why not get comics by email? You get comic updates in your inbox once a week and that's it.

• if the words "RSS" and "feed" excite you, there are direct links to add this comic to Feedly and Digg Reader. Or just paste the URL of this site into your favorite reader app.

• Of course you can still follow on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.

We're close to finishing the first six months of weekly updates. Will I make it to a full year? Maybe! I've got enough ideas in the hopper, that's for sure. Thanks for reading!
