Christmas Crustacean

Chapter: Comic

It would seem that Santa, Santos and Kwanzaa Claus have a new Claus to reckon with. Probably some claws to reckon with as well. Ah HAHAHAHAHA….er….yes.

Once again, there’s lateness in regards to the update, and for that I am deeply sorry yet again.

I honestly can’t tell you how Omar and I came up with Lobster Claus, but the idea left us both giddy for hours following the red-shelled epiphany. Maybe next year we’ll expand on the mythology of the character, but for now I hope his mere existence entertains you. Man…I wish I had Lobster Claus when I was growing up.

I’d like to wish all our readers a safe and merry Christmas. I hope one of the Clauses brings you everything you want.

Movin’ on up and downsizin’

Don’t worry. Nobody’s getting fired. I finally feel comfortable with reducing the actual size of the comics a bit more. Hopefully, the comics don’t lose any detail as a result.

The change came about because I was tinkering with the site design, and there was no way I could realistically do what I wanted with the comic being as big as it was. I’m sure eventually the comic will shrink some more.

Shrinking of the comics is a big deal for me, if you haven’t noticed. I think we’ve only done it twice. Looking back on the first comic we did, you can see how frickin’ huge that thing is. I believe the first major step down took place here. You can usually tell when we do it because the font is almost agonizingly tiny. That could easily be remedied, but as I’m sure you’ve found out if you’re a loyal reader, I’m pretty lazy.

So, the site change was all about making provisions for renting out advertising space. For now I’m content with just that one space for a tower ad. I might make some more changes down the line to accomodate some banner adds. That shouldn’t be as difficult to do. I think for now we’re going to discriminate and officially only offer our space to webcomics who would like to advertise. However, there’s always exceptions to stuff like that. We’re probably looking at $15/week. E-mail us with any questions.

About that Monday-Wednesday updating thing…

by Omar G. on December 24, 2004 at 4:56 am

We’re working on it! Really! Wait, don’t go! don’t…. go….

We were feeling pretty high on ourselves with this ingenious (INGENIOUS!) plan to update the comic on Monday and Wednesday, thereby avoiding the Friday Nobody’s On the Fucking Internet curse that has beplagued us since we started. We do a comic on Friday, releasing it like the end of a sexual cycle, and nobody is there to receive. Much, again, like our sexual cycles.

The trick, and it is a trick, is to pretend that we’re posting our Wednesday comic on Monday, thereby creating the adrenaline rush needed to push the late hours to finish, but then at 7 a.m. going, “Oh, shit, this comic is actually going to be posted on Wednesday! And it’s done already! Silly me!”

The problem is these damnedable brains of ours, poking stories in our own self-scamming, asking intrusive questions like, “Well, if this comic is for Wednesday, then why is it 7 a.m. Monday? Well!?!” And we’re like, “Oh no! We forgot to hide all the clocks!”

My solution: Comic lobotomies. It’ll only hurt for a bit, but I think we’ll get a lot more done.
