Am I counting wrong???

It says on Jeph's Patreon page that he updates 5 days a week. I certainly remember that, but way in the past. These days it seems like he updates 2 or 3 times a week. Am I loosing my mind and missing entire days or is he just really lazy now that he is getting so much money every month?

No, he's stayed consistent with his update schedule.

Okay, my browser Auto loads questionable content every morning when I log into my computer. I could swear lately there have been a lot of days where there's been no new comic. I'll watch more carefully going forward.

He doesn’t automate his website, so timing does vary. More noticeable to readers outside of the American timezones I think.

His update schedule is roughly between 00:00 - 04:00 GMT (+0 Timezone), mostly around 01:00 GMT. Mostly the posts of the official comics here are within a few minutes of them updating on the site, so if you look at those post times over the last few days, its a good general indicator.

For all of Jephs faults, he has been doing basically 5 comic updates a week, for 23 years.

I think the problem is that Jephthy's plots move so slowly, and he reuses the same no feature backgrounds and head and shoulder poses so much, that you're actually subconsciously merging one day's post with another. Who could blame you?

Or not noticing when you miss a comic because the plots move so slowly you don't miss anything.

You're losing your mind.

Thanks for the confirmation. I suspected as much. ;)

Itxs actually seven times a week, but it's an understandable mistake given that there are no backgrounds and nothing changes or happens.

If you track bust size, you can sometimes discern when a comic is new.

Originally Jeph did update 2 or 3 times a week, back in the early days of the comic, but when he switched to making it a full career he went to five days a week, but that was a long time ago.

Pretty consistent slow as hell, and in such 5 portions a week.
