Today’s comic picks up from Monday’s with an attempt being made to place a distress call. I’ve tried to make each update work by itself, but when read together, will form a story.
In addition to starting this comic, I am learning a lot about the new version of Comicpress which this site is built with. The site currently uses the factory settings but once I have a little more time I hope to customise it a lot more. This version of Comicpress has a lot of nice features, such as hovertext over the comics (which I am trying out this month) and ‘mood’ icons (which I will try out soon once I have put together some images for it).
Thanks for all the comments so far. I really appreciate them. Launching a new comic is great fun and I’m excited about sharing the pages I have put together so far. At the time of writing, I have 10 pages of the story completed and scheduled, which acts as a nice buffer and allows me some flexibility when I work on the comic.
Next week we have two more pages (again on Monday and Friday), another Star Trek review (Wednesday) and I found a really fun Spacegirl video which I’ll put up on Thursday.
Thanks for reading!
I missed this update, I thought you only posted on Mondays!
Will we be seeing the Lingerie Hut any time soon? Or maybe just lingerie?
Haha! Yes, the comic will update twice weekly – Mondays and Fridays (thanks to your message I will mention that somewhere on the front page!)
I don’t specifically have Lingerie Hut but now that you mention it, it could be quite good fun to draw!
I absolutely love the punchline in the last panel and I’ll tell you why – I HATE those automated directories that are voice operated. I know they’re trying to be all futuristic, but they always hear people in the room with me or interpret a cough as a word. And I have really bad allergies so I’m almost always coughing.
Thanks Eric, and thanks for commenting. I’d love to sneak an extra phrase onto the options list “For a long button search, hit the Kangaroo button”
Hahaha, yeah, I really really really don’t like automated messages, and this comic proves the point, thanks!
Yes those automated messages are a pain in the a… about the Kangaroo Button, is that pressed once for a big leap or is there a Bugs Bunny and Tarzan option?
