Xander updates weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, around 10 am EST. Xander will always be free to read, and we are against the idea even of soliciting donations - though we do plan to sell merchandise and of course run a Project Wonderful ad space. Like most other webcomics, a lot goes into the creation and you can support us instead by voting on Top Web Comics, following us on Twitter, liking us on Facebook, or just recommending the comic to your friends.
We have one of the coolest groups of people as our readers you can imagine, so thank you all for taking the time to visit our little corner of the internet! We are part of the SpiderForest collective of awesome webcomics, each of which I unreservedly recommend you check out!
Taylor Machnick writes Xander, draws up hideous storyboards, codes the website (from scratch, in Notepad, using php, html, and some javascript pillaged from the net), and manages the "business" aspects of running the comic. Taylor works full time, goes to law school at night, and in general is too busy to have a life. He also has delusions of grandeur and/or a plan for world domination.

Ian Gibson is the artist behind Xander. He's originally from the small, arguably fictitious country of Belize, then lived briefly in the US (where he met Taylor), and now lives in London, England. He's a freelance illustrator by trade, so you should check out his portfolio website at iangibsonillustration.com if you'd like to commission something from him! His interests include maps, gauge bosons, sporks, mongooses, Tasmanian devils, and dozing off on a hammock with a bottle of rum. Contact Ian at ian@nihon-house.net
