Miss LTG did it again, and sent in another wonderful BCP. As an art student here at BVU, LTG is very tallented and doing rather well. I expect to see great things in the coming years as she works toward her BFA (bachlors of Fine Arts). Her last submition, viewable here, was the product of her first attempts at digital painting. LTG is picking up Alias quickly. This is her latest sketch, it took her half the time and already shows a market improvement.

Thanks for the art! I really appreciate it. Soon, there may be a gallery for it

Thanks LTG!

(wonder if I should start looking over my shoulder)

I’ll be the first to admit, I give Flynn a little shit sometimes. Actually, I give Flynn a monumental amount of shit, about everything from his parentage to his personal grooming, and for the most part he takes it all in stride. I have even presumed to give Flynn shit about his art from time to time… 

I stand corrected.

The long awaited frames are finally polished to his satisfaction, and the new versions of Raksha, Nerdy, and HSBP stand before you. I’ve got to say, I’m pleased beyond my fondest hopes. The girls are hawt, the layout is clean, and I’m freakin’ huge… like, I use mutagen for bodywash kind of huge… like, Kingpin hired me as a personal trainer kind of huge… like, She-Hulk and The Juggernaut had a love-child kind of huge…

Finally, my monumental self-importance and messianic complex has a visual counterpart! I think Flynn may have his major at UW all wrong; he should be in Psych, because this is an incredibly astute reading of my particular illness. HSBP is large, in charge, and well armed; if he could somehow make me a Viking too, it’d be like my best afternoon nap dreams came to life on the page! 

Want to see the new characters in action, killing cherubs and smiting heathens? Stay tuned…

The Pope and I have been busy with some pretty major renovations to the comic over the past few days. So far (as some of you know) we’ve been busy playing with services like twitter. The widgets for witch will make an appearance on the new site soon enough. But that’s a different story.

The big news right now is that the Pope’s blog The Ministry of Linus, and my blog Flynn Unedited, have been integrated into the Vatican site! Last night, after a few days of prep work, I migrated the Pope’s epic archive, and my… fledgling list of posts, into the database. It took some doing, but I was not to be denied.

Other major chances include a revamping of the podcasts. The current podcasts have already been ‘hidden’ while we work a few things out. New podcasts will continue, but in a slightly different, less damning, light. As with the comic, when we started podcasting we really didn’t know what went into one… and what never should. Having played with the idea for some time we’ve decided to revamp the way the podcasts work. The new podcasts will still be funny, I promise. They will however, be slightly more thought out, and recorded… you know… sober. Stay tuned for more updates (hehe, see what I did there?) and you’ll have new downloadable content before you know it.

And last but not least, as is our way at the Black Vatican, I want to ask you, our loyal followers, what you would like to see. Would you like more of something? Less of something? Do you have an idea we might enjoy, naked pudding wrestling perhaps? Let us know. Seriously, send us something!

Hey folks,

Some of you may have noticed that the archives have been a bit wonky this weekend. The problem started on Friday when I tried to update the website. Unfortunately the seven, yeah seven, tornadoes that ravaged our city left most of the technology in disrepair. The Pope and I had a hell of a time even tweeting, let alone blogging or updating the site. Clearly this was a plot from that other Vatican to try to keep us down. Fear not, we will prevail.

Today I updated the last of the missing comics, and sorted through the post dates putting comics back in the right order. The rest of the pages on the site should be fixed also, please have a look around and let me know if something doesn’t look right.

Thanks.
