Looking For Quacks In The Pavement

Posting about the webcomic I did for ~4 years some time ago.

  • Dialog Bubble Test Image

    I tried to tweet about this, but for some reason folks were getting a 404 error… even though the image link was 100% correct. So. I don’t know whether WordPress or Apache is at fault. I don’t have the luxury of time to spend tracking it down, either, especially when a simpler solution can present itself: I can blog about it! Duh!

    So. Here you go (click the image to embiggen):

    Meet Poe. He’s a pretentious little twit duck. Figures he’s named after Edgar Allen, but everyone else knows that his name’s just short for poe-zur…

    (Also, I won’t be using the Dragonbones font in the actual project. I just liked how it looked during testing so I kept it in the “final” image.)

  • Who needs Sleep when you have IDEAS?

    There I was, dutifully going to bed at about 9:30pm so I could at least take a stab at getting a decent night’s sleep before tackling a Monday workday. Less than ten minutes after my head hit the pillow, however, my brain lit up with an idea. Building on that one, crazy (but actually plausible and manageable) idea, I came up with a handful of others.

    This happens from time to time, but last night I did something new: I got up and jotted some of those ideas down. Okay, actually I typed them into Evernote so I wouldn’t forget them as soon as I got up this morning. (You have no idea how many times that happens. Bah.)

    Then I registered a domain name.

    Then I setup a WordPress installation with a particular, specific pairing of theme and plugin.

    Then… finally… I went back to bed. (Let’s not say exactly when, shall we?)

    You won’t be able to see the fruits of my labors for a while yet. Considerable preparation work remains. But… I think this is one of the best ideas I’ve come up with in a long, long time.

    It should be… FUN.
