Reckless Youth Update Schedule: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays
Updated
Reckless Youth, hosted at recklessyouth.comicgen.com, updates three times a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. That schedule comes straight from the author's own news posts on the site, where it's stated the comic will keep to those days "until I collapse under the strain." The site also notes that the schedule has been interrupted at least once — the author paused updates for about five weeks while finishing art school, then returned to three updates a week.
Where the schedule is announced
The update days aren't listed in a separate FAQ or calendar. They appear in the site's news section, mixed in with other announcements. If you're checking whether the comic is currently on schedule, the news area is the place to look, since that's where the author posts changes.
From the site's own news entries:
- Update days: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
- A stated pause: The author asked for "five weeks" away from the comic to focus on art school, then said they'd "be back to three a week."
- A return announcement: A later post confirms a new series and new chapter, with updates resuming on the Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday pattern.
What "new series" and "new chapter" mean here
Reckless Youth is organized into chapters, and the site's news mentions the start of "RY Series 2" alongside a new chapter. So an update can mean either a new page within the current chapter or the launch of a new chapter or series. The chapter list on the site runs from Chapter 1 ("Banana Daiquiri!") through Chapter 21 ("Comeuppance"), with interludes and side chapters mixed in.
If you're following along, the practical takeaway is:
| Question | Answer from the site |
|---|---|
| How often does it update? | Three times a week |
| Which days? | Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday |
| Has it ever paused? | Yes — about five weeks for art school |
| Where are changes posted? | The news section |
| Where do readers discuss it? | A forum, moved to "Milk in the Pantry" |
Checking for schedule changes
Because the author posts schedule news rather than maintaining a fixed page, the reliable routine is:
- Open the site and read the most recent news entry.
- Look for any mention of a pause, return, or new series.
- If nothing recent is posted, assume the Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday pattern still applies.
One caveat: the news entries on the page are dated, and some are from 2008. If you're reading the site well after those dates, the schedule stated there may or may not reflect current activity — the site itself doesn't show a live status indicator.
Following the comic beyond the site
The news section also points readers to a forum for comments on comics "and various other stuff," and notes the comic is hosted on Comic Genesis, described on the page as a free webhosting service for webcomics. If you want updates or discussion, the forum is the companion channel the author directs readers toward.
