April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberSo, uh. Am i the only one who judges how often to check the comic itself based on how often art like this comes out?

MemberI mean, there should be a sketch a day, except for the colored images at the start of each month. The sketch for the actual comic page gets posted here too. I would use those to check for an update, not these.

MemberThese sketches get all made in one night, on Sundays. The comic pages are usually made in day or two, normally on Wednesday, but sometimes a bit later. The colored pictures get done once a month, on Sunday, like the sketches, though they often stretch to some other weekday, as well. The normal schedule's available at the artist's Picarto: https://picarto.tv/twokinds
