Welcome! I have launched a new site on a new server! Most of it will look exactly the same, or perhaps if you’re observant it will look similar with a few tweaks. Most of the upgrades are behind the scenes, but it should result in a faster and more polished presentation. Here’s a list of what’s new:
- All the comics are now in a storyline. All of them. Every. Last. One.
- All comics are also tagged with all of the main characters present.
- Tags have been added for the minor characters with names…even if those names have never been used in the comic proper. Just what IS her bosses’ name. Trivia!
- Also, I have added a tag “Company” for corporate-related comics. Perfect for your next meeting!
- All images have been fixed, including missing comics and thumbnails.
- All links in comic posts have been fixed. I plan on fixing the apostrophe next.
- A gallery is in the process of being added. It’s half-fast right now, but hold tight. I should have it all up by the end of the week. This replaces the gallery code that I never did roll forward with the other upgrades.
- I added a limited shop function! All comics are available in print form, and the originals from roughly 95 on are available. I think they’re all marked appropriately, but I’ll let you know if not. They’re “Not Available” if I don’t have them, “Sold” if I already sold them (just a handful) and “Available” otherwise. Shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions, prints before roughly 100 are all shapes and sizes.
I hope you guys enjoy this! It should be snappier, so that’s a plus. If you’re seeing oddities such as menu bars being garbled or missing icons, that should settle out over the next day. It’s a result of changing servers (well, technically, directory structures) and will go away eventually. If you still see noise by the end of the week, let me know.
Also, I hope you guys enjoy the original art/prints function. For nearly four years I have felt weird taking money for my art. There are professionals out there (I have linked a subset of them exhaustively) who deserve that money. I finally realized that I’ve put enough money into sharing my doodles with you that I don’t feel bad about recouping some of that. Trust me, I won’t be making a profit unless you guys buy out every comic I’ve ever drawn by the end of the year. It’s there if you want it, and it would definitely make me very happy. If you’re happy with a low-res print on your dorm printer, that’s cool, too. Enjoyment is the Prime Directive, so to speak.
Thanks, guys. Can you believe it’s just about four years? I can’t, and it’s because I have the best fans a cartoonist could ask for. If it weren’t for you, I would never have made it to year one. Congratulations to you guys, these upgrades are my thank you.
