UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

    Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. Dawn

      I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. Scarsdale

      He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

        Up in these hills, sometimes family is all y’gots. 😉

    It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

  3. Otaku

    I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

    Partners in crime! 😈

    A crime so perfect she went full on wall-eye!

Spam Spam Filters and Spam

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Clint
Ugh, spam. I have a “work address” for the comic and another one for Lab Reject Studios stuff that are both separate from my personal email which was long ago compromised by spammers. But sooner or later, they find you. That’s not the really bad part, now. Sure it’s not great to pick out important contacts and convention information from stuff about Dr. Oz’s latest miracle skin cure or hot Asian ladies in my area wanting to talk to me now, but the real problem I’ve been finding within the last year or so is rooted in the solutions. Email forwarding exists as a way to consolidate all these different accounts into one space, right? And that was great, I actually had all the accounts feeding into the abovementioned personal email, which, over the years, had actually started getting less and less spam. Then, unfortunately, it was getting less and less of the good stuff as well. I’ve started having to a direct log-in every few days to the hosts of my other accounts because hey, lo and behold Comic-Con sent me an important notice but it was nixed by a spam filter. You’re supposed to be able to “whitelist” certain addresses and domains but it doesn’t always work — nor does it help if, say, the source address of the important message changes. The spam filter on my personal email account is so stringent that half the time I don’t even get those ‘click to confirm’ messages when I sign up for a message board… and yet even so the occasional viagra crap sneaks through somehow. I can’t even get it to go to a ‘Known Spam’ or ‘Suspect Email’ folder, it just flat out never reaches me, most recently in the case of not notifying me about legitimate comment responses on this very site. Sigh. Anyhow, I’m not sure what the solution would be other than moving to a new personal email platform. I’ve had this one almost 20 years and it’s daunting to try to think all the places I’d have to contact to inform of the change. Also there is one benefit in that since it’s not a Yahoo! or Gmail no one bothers with the hacking that makes Dawn have to reset her passwords or have other security issues constantly. But yeah, if you use multiple accounts from different hosts, be sure you’re checking them at the source from time to time. Sorting through spam you don’t want sucks, but missing something important sucks worst of all.
