I have now set up the option for an email newsletter which you can subscribe to here . It is set up to send once a week if there is new content on my blog, but seeing how I only post once every few months these days the newsletters will arrive only if I've posted something. I have a default list of subscribers, but you can easily unsubscribe from this list using the link in the footer. However I am planning on undertaking the 30 days project in November which will see me attempting to draw a comic every day for the month. During which time you will get an email each week with the latest post and simple links to previous posts.
