Calamari + Goodbye Blogger

This is an impromptu Cyrius comic I drew on the table cloth with crayons at Jack-Astor's Bar & Grill in Halifax a few weeks back. I snapped a shot of it with my phone, and the lighting was terrible. I'm sorry! Also, they had Calamari on the menu there. Hence the joke!

----------

Well, it's been awhile, and I do apologize for that. After having moved to a new town, I then went off and was doing some traveling over the past several weeks, so I've been slack on the comic dept. I should be into a regular flow of comics soon. And in regards to productivity, I have some site-related news......

The news is that my buddy Andy has been working hard to revamp the site so it will be all database driven! (or, how it works in MY mind: "run by fairies!") THIS CHANGE WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, but will not affect the look or navigation of the site at all. So what does this mean for you? Not much, except that any links/bookmarks you had to specific comics will have changed, so be aware of that. Also the RSS feeds for everything will change, but I'll make sure that is all clearly noted. Beyond that it means that my life will have been made way easier! (By fairies!) So cranking out comics will no longer be so labour intensive! I know all this is boring for you, but I had to tell someone!

In other stream-lining-related news, I'll will no longer be updating here on blogger.com. Please keep up with my comics via my site: www.scritchscratch.com

Shine on!

Good Looks.

Today is America's birthday. Perhaps there is a hidden message here!

New comic up: Cyrius - "Candy Run"

Actually, a few new comics went up over the last few weeks, including some for the new strip "Peas."

But today is official "relaunch day". I've been working on revamping the site and there is now a "Peas" section, as well as an overall site redesign to make it a little sleeker and simpler. There are new drawings for all the pages too! (like the "about", "contact", "news", etc - I will post the pics here soon) And the Cyrius section has been redesigned as well!

The RSS feeds are up and working again too.

All the comics now go through the main page: http://www.scritchscratch.com

As well as still going to there individual pages....

CYRIUS: http://www.scritchscratch.com/cyrius
PEAS: http://www.scritchscratch.com/peas
SCRATCH: http://www.scritchscratch.com/scratch

RSS, new banner, and Twitter......

So, a couple things I wanted to tell you about......

First off, I made an animated Halloweeny banner for scritchscratch.com:

Go to the site to see the animated version.

Secondly, I've got RSS hooked up for the site now as well. But here's how I set it up: There are currently three RSS feeds available on the site, one for NEWS, one for SCRATCH COMICS, and one for CYRIUS. The reason there are three different feeds is so that you can pick and choose what you want in your feed. Maybe you only like a certain comic, and don't want the news updates, well, no prob! Maybe you want it all! That's fine too!

Also, if you are into twitter, you can also follow scritchscratch comics there as well now. There is a button link on the main page as well.

I guess that's it for now!

I'm working on two animations which will be up soon. One for Cyrius, and a Scratch one for Halloween.

Lots going on, and thanks so much for all the kind words and support!

Some Quality hang-out time.

It is Friday, so here is some fresh meat:

So, today my bestest buddy joey, (who does the webcomic a softer world ) helped me hook up some new coding for the Scratch Comics portion of the site. Now it will be "php" instead of html, which makes my life a WHOLE lot easier. (thanks joey!) But just a warning, the FLJP portion is disabled just for the time being. By Monday we will have everything up and running smoothly, including Cyrius in php too! Sadly this is much less exciting for everyone that is not joey or i. You will see no difference whatsoever. Sigh. This is the nature of code, I suppose.

In other news... you are not gonna believe this..... remember the first Cyrius comic? Well, today my friend Kqantu sent me THIS LINK. I swear that I created that comic without knowing about that! Seriously! What are the odds of that? That is just insane. Also, check out the "Learn" page in the Cyrius section to get your brain-veins pumpin'! Haha. But seriously, there are just some fun facts there. And soon... QUIZES! (all for fun, I swear. I'm not TRYING to make you learn, really.
