So.....how is everybody?

2007-03-25T22:18:00.000-05:00

If you've been following this website these past few months, you've noticed I've virtually disappeared off the face of the internet. I'm okay, but I'm going through a process of "creative recovery". I've had some pretty bad events happen to me in the past few months and it's definitely interfered with my ability to consistently update this comic....much less actually do one. I wanted it NOT to interfere, but sometimes you don't get your way...

Niece Web will definitely not die, but it just won't be on a consistent update schedule anymore. My life prevents that. I'm going to treat the comic more like a leisurely hobby rather than a labour of love. I'm sorry for such a drastic change of pace. I just ask that you guys just check the site like once in a blue moon for a new comic, instead of every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. In the mean time, there's other great comics out there that update regulary to satisfy your interests...and this comic to satisfy your interests once in a while, haha.

But to leave you all on a good note, I am working on a special project for Niece Web. I'm going to unleash upon you a multiple page story starring Dark Spider and the nieces. Just think about it...a whole story not interrupted by a serialized update schedule. I'm loving it already. I'm in the writing stages now, but you'll definitely see it sometime in the future....I'll let you know when.

You guys have been nothing but good to me, and its been a pleasure to create this comic for my readers! Laters taters til next time!

A note to my readers!

2007-01-31T22:48:00.000-05:00

Aren't I such a good webmaster? I promised you weekly updates like a month ago and I haven't drawn an original strip since then. The truth is that I'm in a period of drastic adjustment in my life and my comic had to take a backseat, no matter how much I wanted to do it. This past month has been hellish to say the least and I miss my characters dearly.

Well, this week I'm going to make the best effort to get you an update on Saturday. I'm already halfway done with the next comic, and it will be done by this Saturday. I'm still going to continue the once a week schedule until I can get into the groove of updating the comic regularly again. Until then, please stick with me. I know I mislead you all, but I'm making an effort to rectify that. Thank you and see you this Saturday!!!

New Guest Comic by Kyle Lees is up; Still Saturday only updates

2007-01-16T19:00:00.000-05:00

Hello everybody. The guest comic was supposed to be up since Saturday, but a simple typo prevented that. I left out the file extension in the image file, so the comic wouldn't update. But now its up, better late then never. I also owe Kyle Lees an apology for getting the comic up so late. You won't believe the real life stuff I'm going through, but now it's up for everybody to see. I have some belated christmas fan art that still needs to be put up, so look for that in Saturday's update along with a new comic. Laters til then folks!

Niece Web to update ONLY on Saturdays until further notice

2007-01-04T01:28:00.000-05:00

Hello comic fans. Ever since Christmas, my life has been going freakin' crazy with problems after problems. It's definitely interfered with comic production, which I don't like but it was inevitable. I find myself unable to do a 2x a week update schedule right now, which sucks. So now I'm going to try an 1x a week update schedule. Starting Saturday JANUARY 13th, Niece Web will ONLY update on Saturdays until my real life situation improves enough to resume normal comic production. I'll be on hiatus til then. I hope you guys will stick with me as I go through this difficult time. Laters until the next update everyone, and thanks again for enjoying the comic!!!

Sorry about this past week...

2006-12-27T21:53:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. Sorry about the sporadic-ness of the comic the past 2 weeks. I'm in a transition period in my life and the comic has been taking a back seat to present problems. I'm going to take another small hiatus until this Saturday. Also, i'm going to be moving the comic down to 2 times a week now, updating Tuesday and Saturdays. This will start Jan 2nd. So I'll update the site to reflect this change this weekend.

Take care everyone, and see you next update!

The new comic will be up at 6PM and some life news.

2006-12-20T01:13:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone! A comic hasn't been updated since like last Tuesday, but finally I've been able to put one up today. So look for it around 6:30PM tonight.

To give you a status on my life, I'm back at home right now. For the past few days, I've been without an internet connection, which is why I haven't been able to put a comic up. Also I haven't been feeling to good, so I haven't been drawing any either until today (since I feel better).

Tomorrow will be a special christmas update this year. I personally won't do a special comic, but I have a few fan art pieces that I'll put up for you guys to view tomorrow. I love them so much, and I know you will too. Meanwhile, I'll have a new comic up for you guys on Tuesday. At some point in the future, I will do an extra 3 comics to make up for all the updates I missed. Later taters til tomorrow!

Niece Web is back in session...

2006-12-18T05:22:00.000-05:00

After a small week hiatus, Niece Web is definitely back in session. I made up for lost time and created the 4 back comics from last week. Go ahead to the archives and click on the December 10th comic "Sketchy Muffin". That's where I left off of last Saturday. This little Autumn Egg Bet story is going strong so keep checking in. Later Taters til Tuesday's update!

Week of Sporadic updates ahead.

2006-12-10T22:31:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. As you probably noticed since last Thursday, the updates have been sporadic and I didn't give you a proper warning of that. I apologize if I disillusioned anyone.

But this post is to indeed tell you that I'm TERRIBLY busy with college work, since the semester is ending in one week. I can gladly put off my social life for the comic, but I CAN'T put college off for the comic, so it had to suffer. So updates will be sporadic for the next week or so. What I mean by that is that I'll update when I finish the comic, which may or may not be an update day. Your best bet is to either keep checking in for the next comic, or simply coming back next Sunday to read the week's worth of comics. I personally recommend coming back next Sunday, myself. There should be 4 new comics by time next Sunday rolls around for you (one for today, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).

I sorry this had to happen, but college is as college does. Okay, that saying didn't make any sense. sorry.

Later taters til next Sunday.

Thursday's comic will be pushed up to Sunday

2006-12-07T14:57:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. I won't be able to do Thursday's comic today because of university matters, so I'm going to do another weekened double. You will get the usual comic on Saturday and a bonus comic on Sunday (to make up for Thursday). So stick around for those comics and I'll see ya then. Later taters til then.

The Autumn Egg Bet starts today

2006-12-05T03:04:00.000-05:00

Hello guys! The comic will be updated at the regularly scheduled time of 8AM, so look for it then. Today's comic begins the "Autumn Egg Bet" story. So enjoy the ride for the next 11 comics, because its funny....I promise. Dark Spider has to raise a handful and you'll see why. Laters til the next update.

Visit the Art Gallery for a new Niece Web Wallpaper!

2006-12-02T05:43:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. I'm in the process of writing down a short story arc for the next several comics and because of that, I decided to skip Saturday's comic. But I'm not entirely empty handed. Yesterday I actually completed the VERY long awaited wallpaper. Now you can have Dark Spider and his nieces adorning the background of your desktop. So what are you waiting for? Go over to the Art Gallery and its labeled "Niece Web Wallpaper #1" Follow the instructions and enjoy! Laters til Tuesday!

Thursday's comic will be posted (hopefully) by 11PM tonight

2006-11-30T09:00:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. Just posting to let you know that the comic will be posted by 11PM tonight (or at least somewhere around that time). So stick around...please? Laters

No Need for Tongue Consummation

2006-11-27T23:59:00.000-05:00

I'm a little late with posting the new comic, but it will definitely be up by 3:30AM. You guys know how college work likes to build up (especially if you're a procrastinator).

Today's comic (11/29) is my new favorite comic. Every time I think about this comic I laugh at the most and smile at the least. As soon as I thought of it, I had to create it. If you thought the last comic was a little disturbing, then you'll find this one even more disturbing (especially since nothing happens). And I just love the characterization in this particular comic too. Autumn and Cindy are in top form. Sorry if it seems like I'm stroking my own back/ego, but I really do love this particular comic.

Thursday's comic will be moved to Sunday at 8AM this week.

2006-11-16T21:56:00.000-05:00

As you guys may have read earlier, I got swamped with college work and wasn't able to do Thursday's comic. Well, to compensate for this, I will be posting 2 comics over the weekend. 1 comic will be posted at 8AM on Saturday and 1 comic will be posted at 8AM on Sunday. There will be NO Friday comic like originally said. Like I said before, sorry for the inconvenience...school comes first unfortunately. One of these days, I'm gonna make a living off of my art, but until that day comes I have to prioritize accordingly. Laters til that update.

Thursday's comic will be posted by 11:30PM

2006-11-16T02:31:00.000-05:00

I'm pushing back Thursday's comic to 11:30PM, so look for it at that time. Swamped with school work as of late. later taters til then!

Tuesday's comic will be posted by 7:30PM

2006-11-14T03:15:00.000-05:00

What's up everyone? I hate to say, but I'm pushing up the comic update to 7:30PM for Tuesday. Once again, I'm swamped with college work and I couldn't do the comic in advance like I wanted to. So look for the comic then! Later taters til the update!

Summer's Pink

2006-11-11T14:03:00.000-05:00

The new comic is up today. It's the first part in a short little arc, so if you love this one, you'll enjoy the rest. Also please visit the Dark Spider Web because it's actually updated today!!! I wrote a little side blurb pertaining to today's comic, so make sure to read it. Laters til the next update!

Winter Wonderland

2006-11-09T23:48:00.000-05:00

The new comic will be posted around 12:30AM tonight, sorry for the delay. It's another Autumn's Art Pad comic with some dark humor for added measure. If you guys are worried about the Spider, don't worry, it's just a fantasy comic....albeit a sadistic fantasy comic. Don't blame me, it was Winter's idea! Laters til Saturday!

The new comic will be posted at 11PM

2006-11-09T02:16:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. As usual, i'm stuck on some college work, so I won't be able to post the new comic until 11PM Thursday. So look for it around that time! Laters til then!

You go Cindy!

2006-10-31T03:28:00.000-05:00

Niece Web carries on folks. The comic will update as normal today at 8AM. Today's comic is a lot of fun. It's the second part of the 2 parter I started last Saturday. Spider pretty much has a full argument with a squirrel about eating habits...so it's come down to that. Look for Spider to be in the mental ward of the hospital in the next couple of strips, haha (just joking). Actually, if anything, AUTUMN should be the first one in the ward. Her role is "Assistant, translator AND Bodyguard to the Food Chain Activist". Now that I look at it, that doesn't seem to be a bad job title. She could put that on her resume and land a sweet environmentalist job in a foreign country of squirrels.

Enough with the nonsense...laters til next update on Thursday!

Cindy, The Food Chain Activist

2006-10-28T22:56:00.000-05:00

Today is an Autumn and Cindy comic, which I love to do for various reasons. Not only that, its a 2 PART Autumn and Cindy comic, with the second part updating on Tuesday. Trust me, you'll love them. Well, laters til the next update.

Saturday's comic will be posted by 11PM

2006-10-28T02:58:00.000-05:00

Hello buds! Saturday's comic will be posted by 11PM instead of at 8PM. I just couldn't do it tonight for various reasons. So look for it tomorrow. Laters til then.

Thursday's comic is finally up.

2006-10-27T00:15:00.000-05:00

Hello all. I had some technical difficulties tonight, so I was late in getting the comic up. You know, stuff happens...but my streak of continuous updates is now BROKEN!!!

As I cry myself to sleep, please enjoy the comic. I'm sorry to say this, but YES, it is based on a true story that I read in the local newspaper recently. 4 guys are in a park at night time and they raped this girl. It's real dark, so nobody can see or hear them. When 1 of the guys found out about the other guys' plans to kill the girl, he felt guilty. So he snuck away and fetched the police. The police arrived just in time to save the girl. So now the 3 attackers get arrested and the other one gets off with a slap on a wrist....er, despite raping the girl too.

I soon as I finished reading that article, I immediately thought "I have to make fun of this story in the comic". That is such a cartoonist response. Instead of having feelings of anger or frustration at the story, the first thing that pops into my mind is "the comic". Yes, I'm slowly going crazy...

See you guys at the Saturday update, later taters!

The New Comic will be posted at 11PM on Thursday

2006-10-25T22:20:00.000-05:00

Hello all. Once again I'm swamped with college work, so I'm pushing Thursday's comic update up to 11PM. Tomorrow's comic is going to be funny. I read this incredibly inane article in the newspaper on Monday and I will literally combust into 1,000 degree flames if I don't make a comic about it and post it as soon as possible. So tomorrow's comic will be it.

Also this past Tuesday's comic decided to finally show up. This comic is just a fun thing I decided to do. Draw Spider and his nieces as a cat and mouse chase thing. I've been entertaining the idea for awhile and decided to just up and do it. I also decided to give the comic the heading "Autumn's Art Pad" so it can stand out as a special nonsense comic. Look for more in the future.

Well, later taters guyarinos....er, yea.

Check the Dark Spider Web for Tuesday's comic for now...

2006-10-24T08:17:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. Comic Genesis's automatic updater is definitely stuck right now, so the new comic isn't posted yet. As a temporary solution, please check the Dark Spider Web for today's comic instead. The link is up in the website navigation area. Sorry for the inconvienience and hopefully Comic Genesis will have the updater unclogged soon.
