Playing with more types of static. The page 20 stuff is actually artifacts created by "lossy" GIF compression settings in a GIF animation program of mine; does a reasonable job of looking like some kind of interference pattern. Funny that a GIF would actually come out smaller with all that junk scattered around it, huh?
I threw this thingy together today; it might end up as a sort of filler page on another webcomic:

On Friday I was thinking that I might put a large version of daily 16 up in the A* "gallery" viewer, but you know, with the new larger A* strip size, I don't know how much point there would be in putting up double-sized versions that probably wouldn't fit on most peoples' screens anyway. So I settled for posting the comic on deviantART, and while I was doing that, I found that deviantART's artist comment field didn't like the ampersand in my comic URLs. Silly deviantART! So I made a little script that will take a short version of an A* comic URL and redirect to the full address, like so; the long number at the end is just the number of the chapter (0008) and the number of the strip (0016). How exciting!

Ed Harrington was kind enough to add a Princess and the Giant link to the links page of his fine Nothing Happened Today comic, which you should check out, particularly if you enjoy reading meticulously drawn humorous non-adventures of semi-cerebral drunkards--and who doesn't, really?
Speaking of the Princess, here's a clickable link/bookmark/ad thingy that leads to her latest strip:
Hm, that second one came out all right, maybe I'll put a full (double) size version in the gallery on Monday.
Some time in the not-so-wee hours last night I realized my iconography was only halfway done--still had to update outdated representations of A* and my other comics on my various mirror sites, which tend to have their own custom icon sizes. So here's another slew:
Now I'm thinking that technically if you poked your finger through a holographic screen it would just block out the hologram in rays opposite from the directions the projection was coming from, but you know, that probably wouldn't look as cool. Anyway, this is probably something much more sophisticated, like...um...a magnetically controlled plasma field of radiant gas. Yeah! Also I gots ta keep ripping off Matrix effects, you know. :P
Banner dump! Time to update my various ad campaigns, so I made myself some "leaderboard-size" banners with chapter 7 art; you might have seen the first one a month or so ago, the others I whipped up tonight. Feel free to use these yourself for linking or whatever; they will reside on the icons page until I get tired of them!
Help a brother out and let me know if you think any of these are particularly good or bad. :D I have a definite favorite and a mostly definite least favorite.
