Quick follow up – I’ve tinkered with settings, so now the timestamps are in GMT (the only ‘true’ timezone) and allowing anonymous comments. Of course, the biggest change is that it is now hosted on the dotgif.co.uk website. So instead of the old (well… ‘hours old’) tedious title, its simply ‘blog.dotgif.co.uk’.
It had to happen, really. I mean, you get a blog account, and what, your supposed to just leave it?
I’ve made this to make life a lot easier for posting news/images to dotgif… Save me horsing around with all that HTML tripe, I figure chucking thoughts and files onto a blog might be easier. We’ll just see how that goes. ‘Cos it still means I have to get off my ass and actually draw stuff. I can also use it as a diary, except that I cant add glitter and shiny stars to the cover, and spend ages drawing my own name in bright crayons. Like a girl.
A little update in terms of the website and comic – We’re not dead. It would appear that balancing the dizzying highs of University life and playing Halo 3 quite a lot, forces us to neglect the comic. We keep coming up with ideas for comics, and we’re all like “Heh, that’s so funny, we should make a comic about it!” – 20 minutes later, we’ve forgotten the idea, and are talking about which is better, Mac, PC or Linux (that old fruit…) I’m also looking into getting either a scanner (to post raw images) or a graphics tablet, as the tediousness of mouse-drawing comics is nicht so gut (German, for ‘not so good’. Or not.)
Anyway, I’ll leave it at that for now – hopefully will be posting some more – maybe even with colourful images! Or even better, black and white outlines, allowing you, the viewers, to scrawl bright colours all over your lovely monitors. Interactivity ftw!
The comic itself originally started (and ended) in 2004, when I set up the comic with a friend in secondary school, mainly to have a bit of fun. Upon coming to University I met Terry, who I noticed kept saying these funny things (turns out they are called ‘jokes‘), and a lot of them could be worked into comics. We tried a couple out and enjoyed doing the comics, so we decided to get a couple done a month, and see where it went.
