MIDTOON IS BACK

The Midtoon Herald, Friday, July 16, 2010

After a 4-month hiatus that many predicted would be the demise of the MIDTOON comic strip, Executive Producer Neftali Rivera anounced today that Midtoon is back.

"The Midtoon storyline is not over," said an enthusiastic Rivera to a large audience that consisted mostly of his relatives. "It would be a lack of respect to our 6 fans not to continue it to see where it leads."

The technical problems that plagued Midtoon in the past are not all resolved, Rivera admitted, but the company promised to "keep at it" trying to fix the bugs.

"There are quite a few technical issues with the software," Rivera added on an aside with this reporter. "However, we managed to resume publication and hopefuly wil be able to continue."

Upon being questioned about MIDTOON financial stability, the producer admitted that income has not been particularly good, and that the fact that the author has to keep his job with the government to pay his bills will cause a reduction in the publication frequency.

"We can't commit at this time to continue the previous schedule of 3 strips a week, however, we'll do what we can to keep the project alive. When we will publish? Whenever the strip is ready. The best way to keep track of it would be to visit the page, or to subscribe to receive it by email. Facebook and Twitter are still available for notifications."

This reporter is logging in to MIDTOON to see what happens next.
