Michelle's Diary

DECEMBER 27, 2011: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, loyal readers! Computer issues have prevented me from doing as much as I normally like to for the holidays, but here's a quick update: Michelle hits her stride in pages 15-17 of the Munchies story! I hope you like it, and that you're ready to wrap-up this one early in 2012! Best wishes to all for a safe & happy holiday!

NOVEMBER 5, 2011: More ofthe Munchies today! We start to see the effect her new friends are having on Michelle in pages 11-14. I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more pages soon!

OCTOBER 15, 2011: I know it might not seem like it, but i've been busy behind the scenes with the Munchies! Today pages 10 & 11 are online, and more will be coming soon. The next update will be up really soon (just have to colour it), and then we kick into high gear! Thanks for reading!

SEPTEMBER 10, 2011: Big Munchies update today, pages 5-9 have been posted online. After a long wait, get ready to meet the Munchies!

AUGUST 20, 2011: More Munchies! Pages 2-4 have been posted, setting the scene for Michelle's latest adventure. Next time... Michelle actually does meet the Munchies for the very first time! Hope you're all having a great Summer!

JULY 23, 2011: We're changing it up a little this Summer... As much as I enjoy writing and drawing the ongoing comic (and there's lots more to come - I've plotted out to issue 12!), I needed a bit of a break and to try something new... Hench the introduction of Michelle Meets The Munchies!

If you check out the discussions on the Message Board over the last year or so, you can see some of the discussions we've been having around this idea. The Munchies was a public service announcement about the dangers of eating out of boredom, and getting fat from when I was a kid. Obviously it made it's mark! In the coming weeks I'll post links to some of my favorite online ficition using the Munchies as an inspiration, some of it is very exciting!

I should mention that this little story is in the old PW format (not the new comic-style format I've been using for the last five years or so), and is in colour. Page one is up now, and more pages will follow - I expect to have it completed by the end of August. Hope you enjoy, and I'd love to hear your memories of the Munchies!

JUNE 11, 2011: Today page twelve is now online, and thus issue 7 is finally complete! Thank you to all of you readers who have stuck with me this long, during a period of slowed productivity. Issue eight will be coming later this Summer, but I'm going to take a bit of a break and start posting another, special project... Please come back and visit in the coming months!

MAY 18, 2011: The almost-weekly updates continue! ;) We're nearly finished with issue seven, as page eleven is now online. It will be completed next week, and then we'll start a slight diversion - please see recent discussion on the MB for more detail.

APRIL 30, 2011: After a short break due to my working out of town, we're back to weekly updates! Today page ten is up, and we hit the home strech to finish issue seven.

APRIL 3, 2011: The (more or less) weekly updates keep coming... Maybe it's closer to every ten days at the moment? At any rate, please see page nine for the surprising news about one of our regulars...!

MARCH 23, 2011: The weekly updates continue... Please check out page eight, and see how Samantha's relationship is developing!

MARCH 12, 2011: Welcome back to the PW Online, everyone - and thank you for being so patient as you wait for updates. Your patience is about to be rewarded...

Weekly updates are back! Starting today, with the posting of page seven, and continuing through March & April, there will be new content on the site every week! You can check out recent posts on the MB for more detail - there's some exciting stuff coming up.

JANUARY 2, 2011: Happy New Year everybody! I know what you're thinking... Where are the updates? Well, at long last a new page is posted - check out page six online now! Now that everyone is healthy & back to normal, my hope is to get the rest of this issue, and the next one, up really quickly. I also expect to be posting my regular thoughts on the Message Board more frequently over the next several months, so come on by and join the discussion (no registration required). Best wishes for a happy, healthy 2011!

MARCH 1, 2008: Welcome to the new website! Welcome to the third reincarnation of the Ponderous Woman webcomic!

For those of you just joining the fun, here's a brief history of the PW Universe to date:

1999 - The PW online comic books begins, featuring Joey Stewart.
2003 - After 31 issues and a bunch of spin-offs, Joey quits and the series ends!
2004 - After more spin-offs (Fat Fomenter, Truth Teller, etc.) the new PW begins, featuring Amanda Johnson.
2007 - After three series, four Holiday specials and one giant farewell comic, Amanda gives up being the NPW.

2008 - Michelle's Diary begins!

This new, ongoing series picks up where we left off... Join Michelle as she and her friends deal with life after the New Ponderous Woman. With less focus on the fantasy elements of the PW Universe and characters, these new stories will explore the lives of these familiar characters as they work, live, and love. Oh, and eat! All eras of the PW comics will be celebrated in these new comics, as the PW Online heads toward it's tenth anniversary on the Web in 2009... wow!

The web site is still under a little bit of construction, so please come back regularly for updates. New pages will be posted frequently, I'll just post them as I get them done.

As always, thank you for reading, please share your reactions, and stay tuned for new pages!

Take care, Brenda
