   I didn’t know about coffin comics until I came to this vote, and I like it A LOT more than what’s shakin. I was about ready to abandon the comic actually as it isn’t updated regularly enough, or at least hasn’t been recently, to keep my interest.

     Thank you for your honesty there! Yeah, WS takes me a lot of time to pump out, which is why it’s only 1 times a week right now. I’m looking into getting one of those Cintiq thingies (probably the 12″ to start with… idk) which, in theory, would speed things up considerably. Other than that, not sure how really crank them out. I really try my darndest to make sure they come out every monday though. So yeah… we’ll see if that thingy will help me speed up. Can’t promise anything, ya know, but if I can manage, it might actually change a few things around here.

     Shawn, why not do a fan art or doodle thing if you wanna try twice a week till ya can bulk some up for What’s Shakin’? You wouldnt fill as rushed with some fillers and if you had some done and ready in case real life says no work for you. ;3

     @Finoa Not a bad idea… still need to work on the logistics of actually being able to produce 2 a week. can’t even seem to get ahead to have some in the bank for just once a week. XQ

     but I’ve been toying with the idea of doing more pages on the CC side of things… making it be a bit more diverse, with one day having “tooned news” (cartoon accompaniments to recent events in the gaming/geeking world), a “wednesday weview” of movies and games and such, the wowland fridays, and maybe another, either misc or a cowritten thingy. but that’s all just up in the air right now… I’m changing how I work in the templates, so it might speed things up(?) maybe? idk…

     but uh… I do like getting the fan arts… so I wouldn’t mind having more of that! XD

   I prefer them separate, and keeping WS on both sites would be more confusing in the conversations, suppose I mean a more consolidated community.

     hmm… I am working on a way of combining rss feeds, which might make things easier for some… and I’ve looked into parsing those on the Jester Brand site… though the logistics make me want to stab people with spoons… in the face…

   Well, as to having them on one site, I can see it being easier to manage in some ways and harder in others. In all honesty, the way it is now is fine but if it changes, that’s okay too.
   One thing I would love to see in maybe the swag section would be downloadable icons… I think that’s what they’re called… The little 100+x100+ pictures from scenes or of specific characters. I’ve seen them on wc sites like Least I Could Do and Looking for Group and they’re always a hit with friends. They see the icon on AIM or whatever chat and ask about it then I tell them where I got it and sort of subtly coax them into taking a look at the wc in question. It’s sneaky I know but it works a lot better than banners some times.
   Kind of a sly lil propaganda campaign.[wiggles brows devilishly]
   Also another thought would be some sort of page explaining the different races without giving too much away.

   Anyway, I’m enjoying the comic as-is and look forward to further getting to know everybody. But I have to head to bed now… I just got done reading this one from Page1 to now in one go and I think my brain is sending urgent messages to my brain that it’s not quite awake atm. X3;;

     I ended up changing the Coffin-Comics.com main page so that it now has the latest updates from both sites and a nice little random picture of a print for sale. took FOREVER to code it! I’m sure someone who actually knows what they’re doing could do it instantly, but whatevs.

     hmm… I probably should make a few sets of avatars huh? and I do need to have a page of my little banner ad images for people to link to me too…

     that’s also a good idea! heh, once upon a time I had a “bestiary” that had definitions of some of the ideas and species you can find… like the magmen and geccars… but uh… wordpress updated and it killed all my coding work… so I’ve not been in a rush to fix it. lol!

     wow! that’s quite a bit of reading! now, if you’re up to the challenge, go over to Coffin Comic and read in a day! mwahahahahaha! XD hmm, maybe that’s a bad idea… it’ll turn your brains to mush with all my insanities.
