Normal

I had a decent birthday and used the time to draw the first three strips of 'Dam It!', which will go up this Spring. I ended up redesigning the stuffed animal character after drawing the first two strips, so I had to redraw them in the previously produced strips, so it was more than three strips I did...

I also fought with George's look... I knew I wanted to change him, but the result wasn't where I wanted it-- but I figured I'd adjust it as I went along.... I just wasn't happy with him so that's one of the reasons I pivoted to working on DI! stuff. I eventually figured out something... now I have to decide if I think it's worth reworking the strips with him in it for this arc or not.

But when he shows back up on Wednesday, his hair will be different, but it's supposed to be what he's looked like since the start of the arc-- he hasn't magically grown hair or anything.

New site!

I’ve spent hundreds of hours in November to make a new home for Zombie Roomie.

You’re on the newest, probably fastest version of the site to date. I’m not putting actual ads on the site and trying to keep the site as minimal as possible, but still have the stuff that I enjoy on a website.

I’m still fixing lots of issues like how the chapters and characters pages are pretty much useless– the chapters are in a random order and since I didn’t have thumbnails created for them it’s a bunch of blank squares. The characters are only slightly more useable… they at least give a link to the comics said character are in.

Starting with the reboot comics, strips are now 2000px across (if your resolution permits). If you’re on a smaller monitor or you only use part of one– I frequently do for things on a second monitor so I get it… it’ll scale to the width. If you’re using a really, really small resolution it’ll default to the mobile browser settings.

Oh, mobile browser you ask? Yes, with the reboot and going forward currently, the strips are cut into single panels so you can use mobile browsing for vertical scroll reading.

The legacy comics will be getting the vertical scroll and larger desktop reading treatment, but it takes me between five and ten minutes per comic on average to do the preparation for that… and there are 1562 comics in the archive, including some from ‘Woody After Hours’— I won’t be able to give the ‘Woody After Hours’ strips the same treatment as I don’t have access to high res versions of their strips.

I’m working with a M/W/F update schedule going forward.
