Hey, What Happened To The Comic?
I’m afraid the time has come: it’s time to (partially) decommission the Tyranny of Pants.

Tyranny of Pants Redesign!
Did you know it was two years ago today that I posted my first comic on my website? To commemorate the occasion, I’m going to go ahead and do a “soft-launch” of this new website redesign. The Tyranny of Pants is now a semi-autonomous sub-domain of my regular site! That means the URL has changed…
