I’m reworking the site using wordpress. I’ve still got quite a bit of work to do, but the archives are up and running, and I’ll be reworking them a little soon.  Also, the added material will be up again over the next couple days.

I’ve still got to add in the fanart section, but this site is very close to being finished!  I’ve still got a little styling to do on the navigation in the Chapter One archives and on the listing of the sections on the sidebar, but I’m almost there.

I spent all day figuring out how to make the eight most recent strips display on a single page until I figured out I could do it with categories.  Oh well, live and learn.  I’m not sure whether or not I should hobble the ability to browse through comics one at a time, though.  Is that something any of you really like or want?  Would you be devastated if I removed it for the sake of simplicity?

I posted about this on the old version of the site, but it was only there for about a day so most of you probably didn’t see it.

Sorry for being away for so long without an update– I’d planned about a month and a half of downtime at the most, but things kept getting in the way– since April I’ve completed an 88-page graphic novel (the third volume of The Middleman– for which we’re starting filming on a television pilot in about a month!), been hospitalized (I had to have my gall bladder removed, which wasn’t so bad but laid me up for a little while), and met a wonderful girl (which shouldn’t really affect my work, but you know how that sort of thing goes.)

In any case, I’m back at work on Jonny Crossbones, and I don’t anticipate anything else coming up until it’s done. I’m hoping the book will be out next summer, so we’ll see!

I just uploaded Little Jonny Crossbones, so you can see that again if you’d like.  There’s a link to it up in the titlebar now.  I also took the links to the daily archives off the front page, but you can still access them if you go to the recent archives and click on a strip.  No reason to tear the code completely apart when it’s easy enough just to remove the links.

I’m trying to transfer this domain to a new host– my old host sort of went kerblooey and is being considered an “abandoned company” by a former employee who’s trying to fix all its problems now, and I’m thinking it might be prudent to just get away from there.

So while that’s going on, there might be a little bit of time when you can’t access the site.  If that happens, I’ll still be updating at my sketchblog site, evilspacerobot.com.  I put other stuff there too, if you’re interested.

So I’ve successfully transferred this domain to my new host– but I need to wait for the DNS to adjust.  So it’s still possible that there’ll be some downtime.  Again, you can check out evilspacerobot.com for updates.

I stupidly left tonight’s strip at my studio this evening, so I can’t scan it and I don’t feel like driving all the way back over there.  Instead, here’s a fake catalogue (funny, Firefox thinks that’s spelled wrong) card that I made with the catalogue card generator.

The new strip will be up when I get home Tuesday night.  Sorry folks!  I need to start scanning and coloring in advance and getting a buffer so this doesn’t happen again.

All done!  Back to normal.

I also fixed some problems with the archives.

There was a mistake that got past me for like a year in the “How to Color Like a Little Old Lady” tutorial.  I’ve fixed it now.  Sorry about that.
