Thank you for being here. It makes me smile. Most of us want to live a life of meaning and knowing I can make people smile or make their day a little better or share a moment is very special to me.
It’s really cool you dropped by. Thanks and love.

There’s lots of stuff that needs to be done when it comes to having a webcomic. Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming as a one woman operation. One thing that is a simple job and I should just be able to do is to write transcripts for each of the comics. That makes the comic more accessible for anyone vision impaired, has English as a language they struggle with or doesn’t like reading my handwriting. It should also create more written content that might help the Things show up on search engines.
For some reason trying to do transcripts is really distracting in a way that makes it hard for me to draw comics! I would love a volunteer to write them up (the first 20 or so comics have transcripts if you want to see samples). You can either write it up in plain text and I’ll add or enter it straight into WordPress.
Let me know if that tickles your fancy, as either a big one off project or a little bit here and there as you can manage it. For this you will get my love and appreciation, I’ll post you Things mini-comics (and possibly shrinky-dinks if I can make something pretty enough) and other yay you are a life saver stuff (TBA). If you want to commit to it on a regular basis I’ll create a special support staff page so we can appreciate your awesomeness sufficiently.
If this interests you please email liz@lizargall.com and we can chat. Thank you!
The Things will now be updated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Every second day was getting a bit too difficult to plan around.
Thanks for reading.
I’ve added buttons to facebook and twitter now that the Things have their own social media spaces.
I worry about the pages becoming too cluttered, but of course I have developed a sentimental fondness for everything on the page. I’m wondering if I should reduce the number of project wonderful ads. I like having them there, it’s a way that I get to see some of the nifty comics out there and I like the idea of sharing the love with other creators.
What do you think, do ads have an impact your enjoyment? Is the page becoming too cluttered? Are you cross that the ads have been pushed further down?
On Saturday I will be going to a wedding as well as derby practice in the morning. To make life easier you won’t get a comic on Saturday, you’ll get a comic on Friday! I just finished drawing it after a couple of days of feeling too tired to figure out how to do it. I’m excited, it’s inspired by another comic thingey I’m quite fond of, bet you can’t guess who!
