Time to get serious.
I read Tangents webcomic reviews. I have recently started posting on his bboard. I have a link back to OOW in my sig. Now, my webalizer logs say people have been coming here from there. Possibly even Tangent himself. Now I know this comic is far from the quality of the other comics he reviews, but that's not the point. Thursday, he referenced another comic in Secants, saying, " the thought of a chicken card shark (as in, a real feathered chicken, if intelligent) has to take the cake in terms of complete and utter lunacy and uniqueness."
A chicken as a card shark. A chicken. As a card shark. Takes the cake in terms of utter lunacy and uniqueness. A chicken card shark. Do you see my problem with this? Our Odd World is built arround the concepts of utter lunacy and uniquesness. A chicken card shark doesn't hold a candle to the odd stuff I've come up with.
Now why is that? Why is it that this chicken card shark surpasses, say, my giant '&' monster (with tentacles) in terms of uniqueness and lunacy? Is it because the '&' monster isn't as original as I thought? Is it because Tangent is insane? Or is it because he never read the archive because he looked at the front page of the site, saw a crappy piece of paint drawn filler that effectively said, "I'll draw comics when I feel like it," and thought if The Author doesn't take this comic seriously why should he?
I'm betting on the third. So things have to change. I have to start treating this comic proffesionally (even if it is just a hobby). Its a good comic and deserves to be noticed by the public. But that won't happen if I don't update regularly.
So as soon as I get my computer back (hopefully this weekend. I'm getting quite irritated with not having it) this comic updates five days a week every week until I die. No hiatuses, no filler, no excuses. Just straight storyline comics.
And I need to get all the other things I promised done too. Like the next batch of cast page articles, or the rest of my commentary pages, or the New Atlantis tour stuff I've been working on. Yes, this changes now.
Now I've rambled enough. I have drawing to do.
