It's been a long cold 404

Yaaay! My favouritist demised minor mammal is coming back online! The M-drive is defragmenting! I can stop hating you, Thomas! ... um ... ignore that last bit. It's a joke. Honest. See, here's a winkie! That means joke! :wink:

Nice timing, announcing it on the festival of ghosts. :D

Cool... I'd love to get Premiumed for that, but I'm not so sure I can spare the cash right now.

Any hopes in a printed collection should my finances not cover it? Also, what level of Premium is needed to access this content?

It's too early to tell whether or not it will make it to book form. And as far as I know, any level of PREMIUM membership will get you the PREMIUM-only content. :)

Woo, between this and the Smith/Esteves ASCII story, I need to get PREMIUM now! :D

I'd love to see the new strip, but I don't have premium. If I ever get it I'll be sure to check it out. It seems promising.

I'm really excited about "Manifestations". Manny's coming back!

I also don't know if I can afford Premium, but I'll certainly try to.

*hugs Thomas* YAY!!!

Just thought - it might be an idea to add Manny to the "Other Characters" page, to give newcomers a bit more of the "Manifestations" background. His co-Fester Angie's there already. (Still wearing Roger's present, I think... )

About the PREMIUM price - it's $4.95 USD for a monthy subscription, which gives access to all the special content. I'm not really used to USA currency, but JT Darlington of GPF says it's a couple cents more than a McDonalds Double Quarter Pounder value meal and less than a standard movie ticket. (I'm not any kind of authority on what this means to everyone else, being fairly well off at the moment and not eating anything near enough hamburgers or movie tickets.)

You're right, I'll add him now. By the way the Quasi-FAQ has been updated (I just love eight letter hyphenated words that begin and end with "Q"). :) It looks like the updater's stuck at the moment, but hopefully it should be fixed by tomorrow morning.

It's also 1/3 the price of a large combination pizza, and less likely to get soaked by a delivery person leaving it out in the rain. ;)

About the QUASI-FAQ section...

While you're at it, why not put the information about the breeds of the dog characters in the QUASI-FAQ section as well, since you said you forgot to do it last time?

Hmmm...does it cost less for a full year's membership, in total?

It's $24.95 for a six-month subscription (I make that $4.16 a month), and $44.95 for a one-year sub ($3.75 a month). You get one or two freebies with the six-month and yearly subs. They've got the details here. JT Darlington's comments about price are in this thread from the GPF forum - the issue came up for him too, since he's going to follow up the Surrepititious Machinations story in a spinoff book which he might also put up on Premium.
