Comic 130! We made it!

Also, ZOMG. comic 130! Comic 130!!!!!!! I promised I would make 130 comics by June 23 and I did it!

For a bit I was drawing a comic every day and zooming ahead like a machine, then (just as a wise writer told me this was probably not a good long term strategy) my drawing fell over and I did close to nothing for two months. I hoisted myself back into the saddle and with more than a little fear in my eyes I’ve successfully put out one comic every two days.

We have ARRIVED!… but I don’t think we’re there yet, I think we’ll keep going. I think there’s a mountain over there that looks interesting. I think there’s a cardboard box with something scary inside. I think I don’t know what the road ahead looks like, but I’d like you to share it with me and I hope we’ll make some cool discoveries together.

If you have ideas about promotion, merchandise, cool things you’d like to see, please let me know. I’m participating in the Clarion Write-a-thon again this year and hopefully I will have a modest budget for merch and advertising next financial year.

Why aren’t all the pictures on your website kittens?

A very good question, and thank you for asking.

Thinking about domains

I’m thinking of buying the Things their own domain and hosting them myself. I love wordpress.com for a place to freely experiment, but I’d like a little bit more independence and better metrics. Given I’m creating comics it makes more sense to me to host it myself rather than pay wordpress.com to upgrade to a pro level. That way I can use cool apps that aren’t from a small suite.

ComicPress has been recommended to me as a good theme/plugin that displays comics.

ComicEasel is another one, although its design doesn’t seem as clean.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I’ve been keeping my head down and focusing on content creation for the first year, but the first year is almost up and now I should start thinking about how to reach a broader audience.

When the creator of the Things was at Emerald City Comicon last week she saw Mr Milholland’s plush Choo-Choo Bears and knew that BuNSOn and Choo-Choo Bear would certainly be pals. Thanks Mr R.K!

2012 in review

Thanks for a great first year everyone!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,200 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 9 years to get that many views.
