  Visors, Romans, and other projectsJan 09, 2010 5:30 AM PST | url
 
Added 6 new A* comics:So, turns out things get a little abstract when the lights go all the way out. ;) But the visor shining when they come back on looks pretty palpable at least, right? With that I tried animating a "distorted" "reflection," here's a rough cut of that that hopefully makes things a little clearer:

Not really the first thing you want to have happening to you when the lights come on! (Bonus question: why'd they go off? And the camera? And the cameras at Mick's place, according to one of the troopers in episode 6? Hmm... Maybe a mysterious comic from the past few days holds a clue!) And I was having so much fun with the visor that I uploaded two high-res versions into the gallery; click these tiny ones to get to 'em:

Hey my new, other daily comic, Sketchy, has been moving along like gangbusters in this its second week, so why not give that a look. If you haven't seen it before, well, it's a pretty ridiculous little sketch comic; for instance, in the first ten strips, our little hero has gone from impulsive spelunker to surprised Roman Emperor (omg spoilerzerz). Yep! Makes you want to read about it, don't it? And if that doesn't do it, then this sample strip of amazing ancient footwear surely will:

Hm I *may* get ambitious and putter around the site this weekend on a couple projects: updating the forum to the latest version of phpBB, and finally getting ad spaces running.
 
So, if the forum's down at some point over the weekend, don't panic, I...probably have things under control. And if you see ads popping up, well, that's gonna be normal 'cause I gotta start filling in the money pit this cartooning thing is! Anyway they'll be non-animating and easy to block if you must--all from projectwonderful.com. And if you ever see one that's just really, really awful, let me know and I'll see about making sure it doesn't inflict itself on my hardy readers again.
 
Oh, one thing I already did was make the drop-down navigation menus over the daily comics a little more intuitive in how they list the episodes and dailies--they're no longer in reverse order, and now they center on the active entry in the list when you pop it open.
 
Thanks for reading and have a super weekend! (And as usual there will be a new Princess and the Giant comic over the weekend, yay! Plug plug plug.)
