Faraway Stars goes daily

Tirdun · Post by **Tirdun** » Fri Sep 15, 2000 5:13 am

In honor of my 100th strip, I plan on releasing FS every weekday, starting on Monday, September 25th. This will last for as long as I manage to stay ahead, which will hopefully be permanently. Regardles, this will help to move the current storyline along.Wish me luck.

Well, not unless we WANTED to. Cool animation today, man. Can we look forward to more animated FS in the future?------------------

Probably. Making animated gifs is always something I enjoy doing, until I'm up to my neck in them. Today's was a real pain, and I had to strip out a bunch of frames to keep it from being huge...My animations usually just involve buttons or banners. They're much easier.Anyhow, glad you liked it. I'll try to put one in now and then when possible.

Well thanks, I'm very honored.I think the main reason I went daily was that I started to look hard at how I actually read comics. For most 2 or 3 times a week comics, I get lazy and read them once every other week or even once a month. The Jobeth.net comics are a good example, I might catchup on Monday, and then go the rest of the week without reading any. (Sorry, it's because of my boundless amount of laziness, I do like them all, though)I also noticed that I was less likely to follow a non daily comic, because once I get into a strip, I need my fix NOW! I was actually deciding not to keep up with strips that weren't daily. Ok, rant mode off. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you like FS.------------------

Really? I'm sorry. Lee, you liking FS is like Christmas, Halloween, New Years, and a circumcision all rolled into one.Actually, it's one of the great things about Keenspace. All these great comics and their artists actually talk to me... or humor me patiently. The "big guys" wouldn't give me the time of day.*sniff* Chopping Block AND Jobeth folk, coming together *sniff* in my forum. It's a grand day. I can feel my head getting bigger as I type.------------------

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say "Ni" at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land! Nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this point in time.

Ah, that's better. Cleared up my sinuses too. Whew!

Brian, it's a good strip. I read it in big chunks periodically. (I often do that with storyline strips anyway because I hate to wait to see what happened.) It's excellent writing.*pop*Sorry about your head, man. You ought to see a doctor about that.
