I'm not sure when the site will display the new page, it might be a few weeks. It took a very long time for page 007 to update to the new version. I have also sent Brian an updated version of page 29, which fixed panel 2 so the hoof prints actually look like hoof prints.

This page has not changed yet

, it still has the "slamdunk.jpg" that (that I recall) some people (including my self) considered that it was out of place.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure why the site hasn't fixed that yet. Brian said he replaced it, so it's a mystery to me.

I changed it so Kit says "That was horri-bull!" instead of "slamdunk.jpg" . If The Dreadful ever sees print, I'll make sure all the changes are made.

(though if The Dreadful ever sees print, I will also ask the publisher if it's okay for me to redo the first 70 pages so the style matches).

YES PLEASE!!!
It's too much of a change to not come as a shock to unsuspecting innocents. Just don't remove the old pages from the web then. I want to have my healthy dose of mouthless Liz every now and then.

I think the slow/long "introduction" part is because I didn't plan enough in the beginning and have had to do some narrative adjusting. That's not to say everything that's happened will be meaningless, I've worked hard on the script to make sure it all has a purpose. It's just if I could do it over again there would be a lot I would change in order to move things along quicker.

I think I've improved as a writer (I definitely feel that I've improved as an artist), and that should hopefully start becoming evident once I get a few more of these rough edges smoothed over. It isn't gonna be perfect, but so long as it's not horrible I'll be okay with it

I plan a lot more now and think scenes through, instead of just doing one page at a time and hoping it works out. The latter is fun, but I think it ends up tying me in a lot of knots.

But then again, it wasn't actually Liz that did the abandoning of her friends.

ALSO, we should totally have a Dreadful tag, as we've HIKYM and Warbot In Accounting tags.

MSperoni · 12-02-2011, 11:25 PM

I'd like to see a Dreadful tag, as well as a picture of Kit up there in the image rotation at the top of the forums. I was supposed to have made the latter but I haven't got around to it yet. If anyone wants to make one though, feel free.

I'd really like to see those things mainly because it would make the comic feel like a part of the site, it's kind of... left out, you know? Even though it's the only comic that's consistently updated in like a year, and has more pages than HIKYM and Warbot. (I actually figured by now someone besides me would have gotten around to it, like they did with HIKYM... I'm a little disappointed but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes).

I don't know what to do about making a thread tag though. I talked with Shiney about doing a banner image, so I think I can make one. Still, it kinda feels like writing up my own Wikipedia bio. I'd like for people in the forums to be fans enough of the comic so they want to do it, not me.

EDIT: Actually I've been working on the comic for almost a year. The comic didn't debut on the site till February, so we've still got a ways to go before it's been a year here.

Page 81!

Part of this page was to give Rado a slight farewell of sorts. I got a friend who liked the character so I figured I might as well have Booz point him out and Kit say something (even though it's not that big of a something -- but the guy was only on like five panels, how much is there to say?).

I felt like being nice, unlike the famous "Now Shut Up" 8-bit comic where Black Belt was 'resurrected' only to die horribly.

We weren't friends, I just liked to ride him. Always a good time. No one could buck like Rado.

I think this is pretty much how Liz feels about Boozeloaf.

Speaking of appropriate tags...

You should watch this trailer! It's awesome! (The rest of the site's really cool, too!) I have a small announcement to make. And another!
