Okay, so pretend I didn’t say last entry that our server issues were resolved. Apparently they weren’t, but now they are supposed to be. Actually, the issues are not at all related to our server, but DNS records and propogation and all of that. It appears that the problem is fixed now, but since that can change at any minute, we’re just gonna act like it’s fixed, okay?

I am super proud of today’s strip (Issue 138). I loved the idea of doing a “noir” strip in pixel art. I think one of my biggest challenges is that I am working in a cartoony style. There is plenty of pixel art which is amazingly rendered and looks like…art. My job is to make things look real, yet keep their “smiley” feel, which can be harder than it would seem. I wrote a little more about this in my pixel-art blog if anyone is interested.

As promised, we are steaming ahead on the whole crime storyline. We’ll be peppering in a few other threads in it, but suffice it to say, some answers to much-asked questions are coming soon!
