Folks, I know I’m terribly remiss in posting in a very important time in comics history (the swans! the swans!) but I’m under a mound of real-world work that isn’t getting any smaller. Posts in the beginning of this week may be sporadic and consolidory. Apologies in advance and thanks for your patience.
One year ago today, I made my first foray into reading the comics so you don’t have to, though I built up a week or so of material before I actually sent out links to anyone else urging them to read it. Since then, I’ve been more and more amazed at the number of people who share my love-hate (but mostly love, honest) relationship with the comics, and who moreover enjoy my writing and each others’ company enough to come visit on a regular basis. I think it’s strangely appropriate that I began the day dealing with technical problems and ended it with some cheap beastiality humor. Here’s to many more!
It has come to my attention that the comments pop-up on the main page has suddenly stopped working. This, I promise, is not something that is happening on purpose as part of a scheme to force you all to go over to the new forums. It’s a garden-variety technical screw-up. I’m on it, to the extent that I in my technical quasicompentence can be said to be “on” anything in this regard. More soon.
Update: You’ve no doubt all noticed, comments are back up and running. The problem was at my Web host — they just installed some server doohicky that interfered with some other server thingamabob that was in charge of the popup comments. They fixed it while I was out enjoying a vigorous swim. Ah, to have people who take care of things (even if they caused the problem in the first place).
Also, as a note for posterity, today is my one-year anniversary, and this is my 365th post. In other words, despite my long absences, I really am averaging a post a day!
