Hello everyone!

Thanks in part to your donations, I was able to get a new tablet just before Christmas. Yaaaay! It really makes things easier for me now that Victor has my old tablet and can help me color. Sorry that my lineart hasn’t gotten noticeably amazing all of a sudden, but it isn’t the tools that make the artist, after all. Still, the new tablet has some functions and options that make things more convenient and natural-feeling for me, so I think it’s speeding up my normal rate of improvement.

We’re still going to leave the donate button up there though, and the cameo offer still stands, if you just feel like being nice. All funds will go directly to future advertisements for the comic. We still have a few more cameos in the pipeline – don’t worry, they’re coming!

Second order of business. Did you know The Fourth has a TVtropes page? Check it out! One of our readers made this when our comic was just a little baby, but it hasn’t been touched in… quite a while. If any of you are into that sort of thing, why not spruce up our page a bit? I really liked watching it grow when we were young, but I only know of two people that updated it and I don’t blame them if they got busy/bored/distracted. So now, it’s your turn! Just throwing that out there.

That’s all for today, friends! See you around in the new year!
