Finally got my DA page with some ‘deviations‘ on it – I think that means ‘art‘.
I’ll likely be using this now, as opposed to my old blog, to post non-comic content.. Never really been a huge DA fan, but lets just see where this goes.
If you haven’t seen my Facebook photo folder (‘the Sketchbook’), then you might be interested in taking a look at the DA page – you know. If you like my drawings… /shrug.

Some of you may know that dotGif owes its inception to Coventry University, and the Creative Computing department; we have quite a few close ties to the place, both personally and through the comic. While I may not actually know most of the people reading this, I’m lead to believe that many of our readers will be students or staff from Coventry.
Last year, while the comic was still in its infancy, we were graciously given an opportunity to display one of our comics at ‘The Directors Cut‘ , a film show held by the CC departments final-endgame-boss, Peter Every, during the video that was played. (The comic was Java Vs. Javascript).
This year, we have been invited back to the film show - Smoke & Mirrors, and we have a fun surprise planned. The comic due on Friday 30th April, unlike our normal comics, will not be made on the evening of Thursday 29th. Yes folks, we’re talking real-life comic, made by real-life person, in real-life. Doesn’t get much more real than this.
In the likely possibility that I was very unclear there – I will be drawing the comic live.
As for the ability for you to attend: while I don’t know if its a complete free-for-all, I do know the actual film show will be limited to ~150 seats. The showcase event, however, completely open to students from Coventry. More information can be found on the event’s website.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Just a quick note to say sorry but no comic today, my bad I hadn’t realised what day of the week it was and missed the deadline. But dry those tears because you got 2, count them 2, comics out of us this week anyway with the dicing with death 2 parter. Seems there is a comic after all, excellent work Mr Baylis.
Those of you looking at the menu bar right now (which is impressive as you are currently reading this also, nice field of vision you got there) will note there is now a Story Arc section. This will contain collected issues that make up given storylines making it easier to browse them directly rather than skipping backwards as is the current method. It has been updated today to contain the first of the new dotGif story arcs, Scarlets possible swansong, Dicing with Death
Finally the “announcement” yesterday was this years dotGif april fools (here is last years for those of you wondering) and should in no way be taken to answer the question of Odd or Even, that is for you (and by you I mean me) to decide.
