Girly Returns In Glorious COLOR

On July 19th, after a three-month hiatus, Girly has returned with comic #504. With this, Josh has changed his comic around a bit so that it is now in a wider and larger format, and in full-color!
In chapter Chapter 12, Winter and Otra, stuck on the dangerous peaks of the Valley of Sweet Peril, find themselves reminiscing about past events that led them to where they were today. Yes, it's a much-needed recap episode, but along with bringing new readers up to speed, it promises to reveal many new things to the regular readers as well, including more about the past lives of Winter and Otra, and what their friends have been up to since their recent battle against the Shadowy Guys.
Unlike previous Chapters, 12 will be presented in a wide format and in vibrant colors. Josh stuck with the thin, extremely vertical format of the comic for over 500 strips, but felt that was enough, since it was beginning to stifle his layouts and crowd things a bit. The larger pages will allow for a lot more breathing room, and along with the colors, it has reportedly sent Josh on one of his most artistic highs ever. The comic was scheduled to return August 2, but it went up early.
The trade-off for the new format is that it's now impossible for the comic to update three times a week. Josh is shooting for a weekly schedule, and due to the upcoming San Diego convention, semi-regular updates probably won't officially begin until around the first week of August, but he's sure his readers will understand. On the other hand, with the aforementioned artistic high, who knows!
Josh has been drawing webcomics since 1998. Girly is his longest-running series. Read it at http://go-girly.com/
