Next update: Monday March 22, 2010: ...apologies, no update this week. I got tantalizingly close there for a while but a weekend away in the country, Alice in Wonderland, extra real-life job workload overload and general poor time management during my free time... plus an inexplicable inability to draw properly for the last four days... have all put paid to page 35. The next update will be Monday 22.

Bare Manors #13: New: Wally Waldo goes to a Spencer Tunick shoot... now online!

Going Natural Spring 2010: ... an article about the Bare Pit - more info in the forum or L&Z LJ.

A matter of opinion: Darcy's "unpopular" views were broadcast on the news on page 16...

Cedar's fanfic: regular The Bare Pit reader Cedar has written a fantastic piece of fan fiction - The Same Place, but Not the Same Way (pdf download). The story features Kylie the reporter and Mungo as they embark on a challenging journey together. Cedar has done a great job with these characters and told a wonderful story. It's lengthy (about 90 pages) - a perfect way to kill a bit of time. (BTW, it's all text, no art.) Cedar and I both hope you'll enjoy this story - if you do, please don't be shy with your feedback. I'd like to thank and congratulate Cedar for writing this great piece of fan fiction!

Prudes & Prejudice: the current storyline starts here. Comments and feedback about the comic welcome - via the forum & L&Z LJ & email.

Disclaimer: Some readers have pointed out to me the similarities between the fictional Darcy Fitzwilliam character and real-life Andrew Martinez (an American student who, in the in early 1990s, turned up to college classes nude and campaigned for the right to do so). Despite these surprising similarities between the two, this story is in no way based on Andrew Martinez - I only found out about him once this story had started online and I had already been working on P&P for several weeks before that. A very odd coincidence is all I can say!
