Hey guys, long time no blog announcement!

I’d just like to say “hi” to any new readers we have out there, and to ward of any confusion that I should’ve cleared up long ago: Right now the comic is in “catch-up” mode. I write comics to air on specific dates usually at least a month ahead. Well, maybe this is too ambitious of myself. It didn’t help that I spent a couple weeks out of March knocked out from a case of the ‘flu that still insists on lingering in my system in the form of body aches and coughs. Wooooo, fun.

Secondly, I’d like to warn folks that during the week of March 23-29th service on ASCommentary’s server, Critter.net, may be sporadic due to site repairs. Keep in mind that strips are always posted simultaneously on the LiveJournal community as well if the main site goes down.

Happy snarking!

First off, don’t argue with me over the spelling of “April Fool’s”. “April Fools’” just looks silly to me. ;-9 I know a lot of people hate this holiday, but considering I started out online in the webcomics community where the day meant comic swaps and such, I never really had a bad perception of it until I discovered LiveJournal pranks. Oh, goody.

Besides it being April Fool’s Day, checkitout! I have a guest comic up on Count Your Sheep, where Lillian is lovingly described as a robotic pigeon! I like to keep track of all the bird species that Lillian has been compared to (although “insect” has popped up, too) for good insult material, and chicken has popped up the most, but I considering I once compared Lillian to a mourning dove, he’s got it just about right!

Also, enjoy a little side doodle of Ship and Lillian. Ship doesn’t seem to be enjoying the fact that he’s being described just as a source of sweaters by a robotic pigeon.

EDIT: My upgrade to WordPress 2.5 seems to have messed up ComicPress’ archive system, which is already being worked on by the good people who bring us Comic Press. I don’t want to downgrade temporarily them upgrade both WordPress THEN ComicPress, so I’m leaving it as is for now. Sorry.

Just a quick update for y’all- just in case you haven’t noticed, I’ve updated the site design slightly, but on the back-end it was a lot due to my upgraded to the new version of ComicPress, which, after having gotten over the frightening “THIS IS DIFFERENT! OH NOES!” phase, was so easy a caveman cartoonist could alter it! I still will probably be fiddling with it a bit.

Sorry for those of you who caught the site “with its pants down”- ie, when the categories were still being re-sorted! Oops!
