Witness this armed and fully operational website! It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. Read on.

Note a few improvements over the old website, like how easy it is to navigate through back issues of the comic now, either by clicking on the arrows to the top right of the comic or by clicking the “archive” link below the title. Also, there was some confusion with the old site since the comic commentary wasn’t linked directly to the comic. That has been rectified. Some have also expressed disappointment that since the launch of the webcomic, I’ve abandoned my blog posts. Well, rest assured, my blogs about all the silly, meaningless minutiae you’ve come to expect from me, including updates on my journey through Hollywood and all the reports on Giant Squid (ah, Architeuthis, you vex me so!) sightings you’ll ever need, shall commence once again.

I have to take a moment to thank Mr. Matthew Arevalo, who either saw potential and something he liked in the JEFBOT strip, or just took pity on it and decided to throw some charity my way – regardless, he has graciously donated server space to host the webcomic you see before you, and for that and all his help getting the new JEFBOT site up, I am grateful. Thanks, Matthew.

So that’s about it. I’ll continue to work on this site so expect new features in the coming weeks. For now, enjoy the new space and email me if you find any glitches or have any suggestions for improvements.

Just wanted to wish all JEFBOT readers, friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving. A couple of the biggest things I’m thankful for this year are (finally) getting JEFBOT up and for having an audience who comes to the site and reads the strip, which makes doing it so much more fun than if I were just drawing it for myself. Special thanks to those that have left a comment or emailed me with feedback letting me know what they thought about the strip or the website. I truly enjoy getting these responses and it gives me a little thrill whenever I see a new comment has been posted.

So thanks everybody! Eat lots of food and drink, hopefully with loved ones and family, and with any luck I’ll be here next year giving thanks for a whole 2008s worth of strips. I’m sure you all have lots to be thankful about this year, too. If nothing else, be thankful Hagryphus giganteus, the 75 million-year-old prehistoric turkey who stood 7 feet tall and could run over 25 mph, won’t be dining with you this year, as the turkey in that case would definitely be stuffed. With human. *insert scream here* Happy Thanksgiving!
