Yet Another Web Comic (YAWC)

I was able to cut some corners and get the site back up in hours instead of a day. Please check anything and everything you can think to check. New strip tomorrow.

Hey, that Feed link on the right side of the navigation bar? That’s the RSS feed going forward. If you’re an RSS person, you may want to plug that in to your reader. Sorry for all the downtime, but that link is going to be the feed for a long time to come (in ‘Net terms).

Today’s update will occur tomorrow. I finally got my art supplies back, along with many other things, and I’ve been working hard around the house to finally get everything back in to some semblance of order.

I have added an Archive link at the top of the page. This goes back to the old site. Until I port over all of the old strips, you will have to navigate the labyrinth of HTML that was hewn from ASCII as a stone arrowhead would have been in the Paleolithic era. I don’t envy your task, but the flip side is you get to read all of my comics!

I just got word that some good friends of mine will actually be in my neck of the woods tonight, so I’m making plans to go have dinner and be kept busy socializing. I may end up with time to finish the strip, but I doubt I will. Fear not, I will have it done tomorrow. Ahh, the disadvantages of relying on last-minute panic as your muse.

Come to think of it, if they’re such good friends, why did I just find out now they’d be nearby? And through my mom? That’s it: You guys are on probation. You know who you are…

I’m always glad to hear from you guys.  Please write, and write more often if you have the time.  Seriously, I like to know that people are out there enjoying the strip.

That having been said, I’m seriously looking for your opinions on a few questions in particular.  We’re at 267 strips, which means we’re rapidly approaching 300.  I had always thought if I did books, and if I did them in color, that I would put 300 in a book.  The questions to y’all are:  (1) Would a book be of interest? (2) Would you really want them in color, or would grays suffice? (3) How much would you be willing to pay for such a book in color?  In grays?

Against my better judgement, I am going to leave comments open for a few days to solicit more opinions.  I would prefer an e-mail, but I know the barrier to entry is much lower when a comment system is provided, and I am calling all opinions at this point.  I would need to be able to move quite a decent number of books (probably 100) to make it worth the time and resource (i.e. cash) investment.  So, if you think you might be interested maybe at some point in the indeterminate future, but perhaps not, I’d still like your opinions on the questions above.  There is no plan for a book, so this isn’t a pre-order, casual commitment or anything even remotely close.
