2 February 2010:
I finally reached a milestone that I've been aiming for since the beginning. I have 100 comics in the reserve, so for the while, the missing panels is going biweekly! Happy Imbulc, er.. I mean Groundshog Day.

24 January 2010:
I realized that I had been letting the stockpile of comics dwindle down to 40 in the reserve. That's okay though, because as of this weekend, I got to task. There are officially 85 now in the reserve (my all-time personal best). If I can get another oomph, I might just make it to the 100, at which point I would go bi-weekly with the strip. (Note: I didn't just whip up 45 new ideas... I've been collecting them the whole time; I just needed to sit down and make them visual.) You may also notice that there are links for thematic lists of comics (including some themes that haven't even been since yet).

18 January 2010:
The RSS feed will, for the time being, not be automatized as the comics now are. Also, sometime in the next two months, I will test out manually overriding the automatic updates to put in a couple of bonus comics. (This is being done soon also because there is a 4-comic mini-series coming up and I didn't want it to play out all month long.) I had also wanted to set up submenus for the repeated themes in the strip (ex: telephone girl, cubicle workers, etc..). Yeah, throw that into the broken resolutions pile too... for now.

24 December 2009:
Holiday this, holiday that. Whatev. Anyway, I was thinking on improvements that I could be making to the code so that the updates are more automated. The first thing I am trying is the comic update. Following that, I need to consider an overhaul to how the RSS feed is done (so don't expect that the update for a couple of strips, then it'll be back on track). Overall, it should be better behind the scenes, with almost no change in appearance whatever. Except that the trains will run on time, or something like that. And [adjective here] New Year's as well!

1. the missing panels is a comic about truth, strangeness, charm, ... oh wait, that's particple physics. Well, I'd imagine that that's not too far off actually. If you understand particple physics, then you're probably smart enough to find the humor here... unless I forget to put the humor in, which somedays happens to be the case.

Actually, just take the funny for what it's worth. Sometimes the funny will bring devasting laughter, but most times, I'm just hoping to bring a smile to your face with an interesting perspective. And yes, on occasion, I'll leave the funny out of it, just to see who's paying attention.

2. Important caveat: There is nothing so sacred that it is out-of-bounds for a punchline here. The point of the comic is humor, not harm. If it seems that a stereotype is being made fun of, you're right, it is. To be more clear, it is much more often than not the stereotype itself, and the users thereof, that is the punchline of the joke, and not the people which are grouped together by that stereotype. Occassionally, the humor is used as an escape mechanism for handling a sensitive issue; when this is the case, please consider yourself as being invited to explore deeply your own relationship with that topic.

3. Oh yeah, IE is not as W3C compliant as my source code is with regards to some style handling. I am content for now to have the IE version of the website look less perfect than the Firefox version looks (which is quite sweet). Also, the Opera version is eye candy until some of the CSS swaps happen, but then again, that's been a feature to them for the past 4+ years now.

4. Also, in case you need:

In summary: this is satire and sarcasm and not intended for harm. If your likeness goes viral on the Internet, it's fair use and nothing I say about it is meant as a personal reflection on you (even if it happens to be true).
