Hello Everyone:
It's pretty clear where my alliances lie this Sunday, huh? Hee hee.
I'm very excited about the Super Bowl.
I know I still need to fix the guest book. It's on the list of things to
do!

Hello fabulous fans:
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I know I did. I'm
very grateful to all my family and friends for making the season so special for
me. Thank you!
For 2008 X's & O's will be returning to its original Tuesday-Friday
publishing schedule. I'm sorry. I know some of you will be very
disappointed, but I only planned on running 2 comics a week in the first place.
I jumped up to 3 because I had too many back-logged strips when I began, but now
that I've got a good pace between drawing and publishing, I'm ready to return to
the original master design.
With a full time job during the day, 3 strips a week would be a bit too much.
I've decided I need a life. I thank you for understanding. My
boyfriend thanks you for understanding. =)
You can trust, however, that the quality X's & O's strips you've
come to love will continue and only get better!
I wish a fantastic new year, full of love, success and happiness unto all of
you. God bless you all. (If I may be so anti-PC).
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
Your Steeny
PLEASE NOTE:
I will be taking my first vacation in 3.5 years from Sept 15 - Sept 25! I'm very
excited! My boyfriend and I are going to California: Santa Barbara & LA.
I'll do my best to keep updating during this time, but I may be delayed, as I'm
not sure I'll be able to get to a computer. I apologize in advance
for any late updates!
Rest assured, however, that all the comics are drawn and ready to go up.
So, any delay in posting will quickly be rectified!
Take care,
Your Steeny

Hello everyone,
Just a reminder that while my characters tend to be inspired by
real people, they are not representations of real people.
Great liberties have been taken with each character to make them their own
person. Thanks!

(P.S. I haven't forgotten about putting up Otakon pics and reviews.
However, this summer has been plagued with projects, bachelorette parties,
weddings, family obligations, moving, an upcoming (and so rare for me)
vacation... You get the idea. I haven't forgotten and I WILL get to it!)

Otakon was amazing! It was also insane, fun, exhausting and completely
crazy! I had a blast and can't wait to share stories and photos.
They'll be up soon, so check back!

This is it! Otakon 2007 begins in mere hours! Artist Alley opens at
2PM and I will be there when it does! I will be handing out fantastic
postcard advertisements, drawing requests, and even selling some originals.
I created a large poster to display what I'm offering. In honor of Otakon,
I've also posted new merchandise designs. Yes! There are updates
everywhere! Keep a keen eye on the site, because reviews and
photos will be up shortly after the convention. It's going to be a
crazy weekend. Who needs sleep!?

After a lot of work I've finally got my merchandise site up and running! Check
back frequently, because I have a lot of ideas and there will be new stuff all
the time.

Hello again everyone!
I've been getting great reviews about the 3-day format. Thanks for all the
feed back! I will continue publishing comics every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday.
However, due to Memorial Day, this Monday's comic will be published a
little late. I won't be back to my computer till Monday afternoon 5/28/07
. The new comic will go up then.
Have a great 3-day weekend!
Love,
Steeny

Hello Everyone!
When I began this site I had a stash of comics, but I continue to draw more
weekly. (as if I could stop!) I just planned out my stash at the original
2-comics a week pace... and found out that my supply lasted until late September!
Now, I like having small supply of comics (if the publishing deadlines were too
immediate I'd feel pressured and the work would suffer) but... September!?
That's just too far away.
So I've decided to publish 3 strips a week. (At least for now). Hopefully I'll get some feedback to see how this new set up is working (or not working.)
I hope you enjoy the extra strip each week! And as always, thanks for reading!
