Not technically a Scary-Crayon update, but since we're talking SC design stuff, I've marked it as such. Read on if that sort of thing interests you! (more...)

The horror!

New short "comic" for the masses -- a little something I like to call Cereal Noir. Hope you enjoy it! Especially since I'm considering doing more pieces along these lines in the future. I also wrote a lengthy blurb in the Site Talk box on the main and content pages, for those of you with really good eyesight who don't mind squinting at the tiny text. And, of course, Wesoteric has been linked over there now. 😀 (more...)

Two new comics today! Well, at least one. Depending upon the time of your last visit and whether or not you clicked the preview link, you may already have seen Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #35. So what's new? A Dusty Plastic HELL Easter Hot Flash, that's what! ENJOY, and HAPPY EASTER!!!

Also, this will be one of my last posts to this blog (not the last post, so don't abandon this place just yet!), as Wesoteric is like a few images away from being ready! And I could of course always just start posting to it and continue to tweak the layout as I go along. But yeah, it won't be long now. I really thought this was going to take a lot of time when I started, but now? I expect to be posting over there by tomorrow, which will mean I got this thing together in a week. w00t!

Anyway, check out Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #35 and that Easter Hot Flash! Ja!

Well, I made a lot more headway with Wesoteric than I expected to this past week -- the site's almost ready to go live. New colors have been selected; a header graphic has been created. Fun fun. All that remains is to add some stuff to the sidebar and add a quote of some sort to the main content bar, and of course import of all of my Blogger posts, and we'll be set! It's kinda funny how on Monday I was complaining about the impossibility of all of this stuff and now I've pretty much got it covered. I've learned a lot about browser behavior (at least Mozilla and IE) where CSS rules are concerned -- enough, I think, to conceivably convert SC to a table-free layout, but I'm not going to do that anytime soon because I'm still quite satisfied with the way it looks now and I see no need to go changing a bunch of code just to get it to look exactly the same way it looks now. But if/when I decide to do a new layout for it, I'm game for a CSS layout. (more...)
