Firstly, sorry about my lack of input and content recently.

I have found that I have much less time that I feel this comic needs. I have also lost interest in it – or to be more specific – lost what I once enjoyed about making the comic. We created this comic while we were students, with plenty of free time to work up and devise the panels – sadly now, I have stumbled into the real world and have discovered that my free time is very precious to me, and setting aside an entire evening (sometimes) to making the comic is simply too much, and for that reason mainly, I am stepping down as artist.

Now, its completely up to Terry what happens next. He has put as much time and effort into this comic as I have, and I feel that if he wants to continue on with this, then it is completely up to him.

For those of you who have enjoyed reading this comic, I thank you. I wish Terry and anyone involved the best of luck for the future.

More will be revealed next week!

This story prompted the comic; where we see measures taken against people who film themselves playing pirated games… Can’t really say I hold any sympathy for them – even if this story was elaborated on a little too much.

From left-to-right, from the top:

Starting with a sketch (this one was drawn by Terry, and he requested it never see the light of day), moving onto the line art, which gets coloured, then shaded, then we spend some time tweaking the text and the art to match everything.

Jay (or is it Death?!) confronts Death (or is it Jay?!) about the missing dice.

Side note:
This is officially comic number 100. The 100th official strip associated with dotGif. Numero one-hundredo. You get the idea.

I would like to thank everyone, who has read the comic so far, and further thank the people who have contributed to our humble little comic (even if that didn’t directly result in a physical strip) and all the people who have inspired myself artistically, and Terry into writing the insane drivel on a now bi-weekly basis, and obviously, the people who have set aside their own time to work on scripts and homages to us. We really appreciate the support we get, and the feedback we receive.

We will keep making the comic while we have funny things to say, and a story to tell. Thank you very much for reading.

JB

Me. I fully support this tomfoolery.

Maybe people will use those Mac Pro’s sitting under their desks for something more than checking e-mail and looking at porn.

Disbelief! Did we really just do that?! You bet your sweet ass we did.

Apologies for the delay in posting.

A comic in which perhaps not a lot happens, but sets up the next arc..

JB

In which we lament the death of the 3 1/2″ Floppy Disk storage format (which I totally didn’t realise was available in a 200MB version!?), with its death knell rang with the cancellation of production. A sad day. Mind you, I killed my fair share back in school, as those things do not last very long in a 12-year-olds backpack.

Also, yet another reminder that if you are in Coventry today, you can go meet Terry, who will be tearing up the Creative Degrees Film Show 2010 (Smoke and Mirrors). We have even received news that we have been included in the film show itself (I have seen our segment – fantastic work, as ever, by Peter Every), so if you do pop by, look out for us in the show as well. I wish the best to everyone showing up!

p.s. – whatever Terry has said about me is probably a lie. You must realise this.
