Honestly, I was planning to redesign the whole site to look like the Sinfest page, but that turned out to be a lot of coding and other boring crap, plus having to draw some other junk here and there to make it all fit in. So, uh… April Fool's? I really don't see this as fooling anyone, but whatever.

Sinfest is very important to me, in a way, because it was my first webcomic. Ever. I was once drawing an extremely self-published comic (I printed out the books myself using the copier at my Dad's job), and I was looking for a way to get the comic out in a more accessible format. So I got on Yahoo and searched "comic". After wading through some comic shop stuff I came upon Keenspot which, at the time, hosted Sinfest. Sinfest was also the top comic on the site, so it of course got top billing, and with top billing putting it at the top of the list, it became the first comic I'd ever read on the internet. The series is great, and it really inspired me to go for the whole web thing. In fact, for years, I specifically drew the demons' tails in the style of the Devil's from Sinfest (more or less), just because that was what looked right to me.
