Plans

I love your work, Jay, and I'm excited to see where this new direction takes you!

Christopher Bammer

That's what I thought

DNMZ

Probably not. I’m not inclined to sexualize these characters.

Jay Naylor

These characters will not.

Nice

This is such great news, Jay! Your fans are going to love seeing more Original Life comics again.

Brutal Kitten

Man I'm really looking forward to this, have really missed the gang. Seeing them older should be interesting. One thing I'm wondering. As you made clear this will be sfw and separate from the nsfw side of things, so I assume the characters while older now won't appear in any sex scenes or nsfw content correct ?

DNMZ

Awesome, we get to see the advancement of what got some of us interested in the first place. As always I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Sphynx

Hm, thanks!

Jay Naylor

Great news! Thank you.)) I do not know if you know, but Eric Schwartz has been keeping two accounts on Patreon for about a year now. Exactly how you plan: one with NSFW and the other with SFW comics. Perhaps he could share his experience on this issue.))

Alexey Belovolsky

You sound a heck of a lot like Das Bo Schitt. Even your speech mannerisms are very similar to his.

I am glad you are planning to get back to "Original life". I think if you want to ask some fans for Idea's to help with some more inspirational idea's. It might help with new ideas and more fun ways to plan ahead for the comic.

I go back and binge-read OL and BD every few years. It would be fun to see any updates you create.

Happy that you would want to continue this series. Better Days and Original Life were a big part of my childhood & early adult life. FWIW, I really liked the Muffin sales arc. Would have been easy to provide no justification to the antagonist, make everything work out, masses coming to their senses to care about freedom and free will. But what ended up was more interesting. Also loved the smaller stuff. The race between Janie and Clarice. Fisks guardian angel. The muscle drug vs FDA. So many fun stories! Looking forward to more

Thanks for reminding me... I need a Tumblr account now.

Also, Thanks for the glimpse into your creative process. It was interesting and informative.

Haven't been to my Tumblr account in about a year or so. Great to see new art work there. Had a hoot going back and seeing all the work you did on Space Bunnies. Just remember to pace yourself and, yes, live your life.

Robert Kassebaum

I like the comics,as I recall they were great.

Wolfcub

I don't think you should feel embarrassed about Better Days/Original Life or any of the work that you have done in the past. (I have old issues of Furrlough with comics that you did in them, as well, bet you thought nobody remembered those, lol). All artists grow within their work the more practice they put in, not to mention you have matured as a person during those years of practice. IMHO all of your old work is still enjoyable to read for what it is.

Andrew Vance

I am following your work for a long time and it’s good to hear your plans for original Life keep on the good work

bertus de jager

I only discovered your work recently, and both Better Days and Original Life after that... But I'm enthused about the possibilities. I'll basically be following and supporting as long as there's any possibility of seeing more story.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

As bad as it is just hearing the original life coming back my first thought is the "shut up and take my money" futurama meme haha. I would love to see it coming back and would be something i would fully support. I hope the chat with patreon goes well. Thank you for the link, i honestly didn't know of the blog and it woull be nice to have more sources to see your work.

Livingice

If I feel like it, sure.

Jay Naylor

I have been following your content since better days was launching and you may call it embarrassing, but to me it's a really heartfelt story about growing up and coming of age. Recently I showed it to a friend and he was also blown away. Believe me, you are better at writing stories than you give yourself credit for. I will keep following and news of a possible return of story teller jay is something I am very much looking forward to.

Leo

I think having more growth for the OL characters would be cool to see. I loved the Better Days stuff, watching those characters grow and learn and mature as they went through life was really nice, and also provided a nice ending as well. I say, go for what you feel is right and what you feel would allow you to have fun with this stuff again. :) Also, thank you for not putting the comic behind a paywall. Its honestly a great comic and I would hate to miss updates, because sadly I dont make enough money to contribute much more than I already do... =C Also, quick question regarding the OL characters, mainly the kids... does that mean we could start seeing NSFW stuff of them when they hit 18 y/o in the comics? Just mainly curious is all. :)

Kitsunelegend

Wow, im genuinely inpressed. If it works out with Patreon, it would be incredibly useful to use a second page where we can follow up the oroginal life comics and create a plateform where people can discuss about it. I've been looking for that some time ago, and to have that "all in one" page would make everything so much easier. Of course..that comes with your SFW hub idea which can have quite a lot of charm when it comes to your characters lives as we seen a couple times (they are the best kind of pictures sometimes and im sure you love doing them) Its also quite respectable for you to not place that behind a pay wall and give people the choice to support it and eventually have some rewards apart from the comics..so good job about that idea. And honestly, if one page per week guarantee better quality and content, i dont think anyone will complain and especially since youd keep working on your erotic work. With that said, does this mean you'll get back into the "old crew" (Fisk, Beth, Trixie, Lucy and etc) as well as the children that we'll see growing up?

Interesting plans. Best I can say is to pace yourself and try not to get burned out. Doing 5 comics myself and things can get crazy if you don't take a break every so often. Best of luck to you :3
