Blogs=Bugs?

Hey everyone! Thanks for hanging in their. The first page is fixed now. I’m still new to working with a blog environment, but its starting to get easier. I don’t really work with rss feeds, i never use them, so if anyone is having problems with the rss feed, let me know. That goes for anything else that’s broke with the web comic. If its broke, let me know, I will fix it. Thanks for the help!

PS: Note to self, fix obnoxiously large avatar.


I noodled there for I fail!

Something about the text of the third comic was not sitting well with me at all. I made a change to it. Most others will likely never notice but I will. And thus I noodled and failed.


The Key Dilemma

So its about 12:30 at night and Amanda and I are getting ready to leave for Ohio. We have 2 cats (more like monsters if you ask me :) ) that need taken care of while we are away. This requires us to lend a set of of our house keys to a friend of ours so we are not left with zombie kitty upon our return. We have dinner and a movie with our friend to show our appreciation. We watched Prisoner of Zenda. It was supposed to have some really good sword fighting. It was an ok movie, but i could tell that the fight scenes have been sped up, so i was a bit disappointed, but overall i would still call it classic.

Afterwords we drove our friend home. Because this is LA i locked the door and didn’t think anything of it. At our friends house we gave him the keys to the castle so to speak. It was not until upon returning to our home that the fatal flaw was realized. Amanda who I assumed had her keys with her had left them inside the house, and my keys had been given to our friend, and the door to our apartment… locked. What a wonderful way to start a vacation. If this trend continues I am going to need a vacation for my vacation.

I suppose given that this is the internet and that i have mentioned that I have a cat, it would be wrong of me not to post a picture. so here she is; her name is Medusa, like the one in mythology. The other cat named smokey (not pictured) is so old he will likely die upon our return (kidding!) but in all seriousness that is one old cat.


Fun at the Airport

one extra bag… 50$
two extra bags… 100$

Frantically sorting and cramming all of ones luggage into a single suitcase at the baggage claim to avoid outlandish crazy fees and giving the MAN a big F YOU! …. Priceless.

Some things money cant buy, but for everything else you need money!


forums update

I tinkered around in the forums, making the text bigger and using more attractive fonts. In my opinion the base templates for phpbb are kindof poor and so those effect most of the other free templates as they are all based on the originals more or less. I found some that worked awhile ago but they still had their issues. So I fooled around with that. Its better then it was before and I will continue to make it better in the future. I also added some nice emoticons that work with black backgrounds. If you like the comic, leave a comment here or on the forums, encouragement goes a long way and makes updates happen faster.


have an 8-bit holiday session!

A good friend of mind just sent me a link to the best Christmas music in the world. Yes its that good, and its 8-bit. Go, listen, and become one with your younger self these holidays.

8-bit-jesus

oh… you wanted to know about the comic?… um *runs away*

No its almost here. Really.


1 day late

my deepest apologies, but i think the next page may be a day late. The page after this will still be on time for next Tuesday though.


IE=ugly… for now.

Still working to accommodate those who use Internet explorer. The page looks pretty bad in IE because of IE not supporting .png transparency. By the next update, or the one after that, the page look a lot nicer for those who use IE.


IE=fixed

lately more and more visitors seem to be using IE, so when a new version of comic press came out, I used it as an excuse to upgrade and reskin the website with IE and fire fox in mind. Because of this the next page is going to be late.

The good news is that the website works in IE and isn’t covered in Grey with menus floating places they shouldn’t be.


Hunting for an art job that pays

so the comic is painfully dreadfully late. Why? a game studio near me is ramping up production on a hush hush fantasy game that i really want to work on. So instead of working on the comic i have been working on a demo reel to show them my awesome awesomeness.

I know i know.

I can feel your rage like the crying out of a world that screamed in agony as if suddenly silenced.

no?

Or perhaps that on this day you will stand up and march in the streets demanding i return and slave over the comic to my very last waking breath.

Heh, who am i kidding, no one reads this comic any way ;p
