There could be ominous rumblings in the land of haven’t-published-a-single-page-yet webcomics — a friend called me and wanted in on the project.  Dragoncon came and went this year, and I didn’t go (again).  The annual kickinthenuts that I need to actually get on with this damn thing at some point before I die.

Anyway, maybe something will come of it. <ramble off>.

Ahh, maybe I’m just naive.  Or cynical.  Or both.  Probably both.

However, the first steps are being taken…

In other news, the site is undergoing a redesign — or should I say, restarting design?  In the meantime, enjoy some lovely default Wordpress theme-ness.

UPDATE:  The Inevitable Rise And Liberation of Niggy Tardust! is fucking amazing.

The local public library has both power and free wifi, so I might be hanging out here a lot.  Hooray for books!
