New to Blue Milk Special? Start reading from the beginning!

A few things have been going on lately and I find they are distracting from the webcomic itself. Whatever happens with our listing in Wookieepedia it’s not nearly as important as just getting on with this strip. And that has been my mentality through this. To keep plugging away at next week’s strips so that we can meet the new daily schedule that we’ve self-imposed. The Empire Strikes Back is coming to BMS! It should crash land here in about two weeks. We’re looking at December 6th as the debut of our much anticipated parody. After our deviations into the relatively unknown regions of Star Wars such as The Holiday Special and Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, we’re sure some of you will be looking forward to BMS getting back to more familiar and beloved material.

But first you will find a series of very funny (well, I think so, but I’m mad) Vader strips on their way next week… leading towards the inevitable confrontation between the dark lord, the hero and the Princess. Seriously, at 5 strips a week, they’re going to be duking it out in no time!

Meanwhile, on the news front, we have a huge thank you to give to MTV who interviewed us for their superb comic news division MTV Geek. They jumped on our side over the Wookieepedia debacle after an admin or two at the prestigious Star Wars wiki questioned the validity of our entry there and have marked it for deletion. It’s quite petty. Having already achieved a listing there without problems, the fact it is now being questioned is a bit suspicious.

Tom Akel, Editor-in-Chief of MTV Geek spotlighted us to prove we met the criteria of mass media coverage. But it appears the latest response among the Wookiee Admins is to dismiss MTV Geek as not being noteworthy itself. Hello? MTV? It’s been around since 1981 or something. It’s getting to the point where I almost don’t care to be listed there now at all.

We need to be noteworthy to be listed on their site. Like I’ve said before, BMS has an ass ton of readers, fans and followers. We’re talking thousands of unique visits and tens of thousands of page loads. We’re ranked inside the top 30 webcomics at one of the largest Webcomic lists online (the highest ranking for a Star Wars themed webcomic), we’ve attended comic conventions, we’ve been covered by Comic News Insider and Geeks of Doom.

Anyway.

You don’t come to Blue Milk Special.com to read about real world drama… you come here for Star Wars humor. Incidentally, we create these strips out of a desire to have fun and laugh at them ourselves. So, let’s not get away from the fact that today sees a new strip with an impending sequel on Monday. Next week we’re going to blitz our readers with one strip per weekday. So, lap it up, fuzzballs! Oh, and keep voting. Life goes on! ;=
