So I know for a fact that there are at least 12 people who read Shrug Lyfe (and thanks to each and every one of you). However, did you 12 people know that I have another comic online now too? It's called Astrostrange, and I compile the dialog for it from the tweets of fine internetters like yourself. You might find it to be more rewarding on a regular basis than the weekly updates you see here. Maybe not so rewarding in other ways, but just in case you need yet another comic to read online, check it out! Astrostrange.com

The cynics thought it could never be done, but the Shrug Lyfe page has amassed the whopping 25 Likes needed to earn a vanity FB url. Feel free to adjust your browsing habits to accommodate facebook.com/ShrugLyfe. I hear at 50 likes you get a box of clementines. And I'll have you to thank for it.

Well, today is my birthday. It's not something I get too sentimental about, but it seemed like a perfectly reasonable day to celebrate the beginning of this little endeavor of mine. Happy birthday, Shrug Lyfe.

According to Wikipedia (at least as of today), a comic strip is "a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions." And that's just what we've got here— Shrug Lyfe is a comic strip. But unlike most of the comics I like (and I assume you do too), here we don't have strip after strip, issue after issue, and so on. No, here we've just got the one strip. And with any luck, it's gonna be a long one.

See, instead of each update bringing an encapsulated story (or at least piece of a story) like we're more used to, each update here simply adds on to the end of the strip for what I hope will be quite a while. It might be a little tough to see a point at the onset, but bear with me here and who knows, maybe it'll start getting good. We'll have to see where things go. And I do mean "we;" it's all new to me too.

But for now, thanks very much for checking out the site, check back here or keep up with Twitter and Facebook for updates and news, and of course, please tell your friends.

Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't make a special point of mentioning that to bring you Shrug Lyfe here, the way I really wanted to present it, wouldn't have been possible without the busy little hands of debonair developer Doug Pfeffer who kindly added the 'ction' to the 'fun' here. Be sure to check out his site, follow him on twitter, and should you ever meet him in person, compliment him on whatever shirt he happens to be wearing at the time. He'll like that.

Anyway, here goes something... thanks for stopping by.
