New Updates to Faith Erin Hicks' Ice


Ice

Faith Erin Hicks has posted 6 more pages to her tale of post-apocalyptic (post-global warming?) England: Ice.  I've been a huge fan of this project and really wish it updated more frequently but I'll take it when it comes.  If you haven't read it at all sit down and read the whole thing.  You won't be disappointed.

The Unenlightenment. A New Book.


The Unenlightenment

My dreams are made of this. One hundred and eleven single panel comic illustrations full of death, destruction, murder, mayhem and nonsensical annihilation from the wonderful world of the Cowboydog.

This is the second Cowboydog book from my blog comic cowboydog.blogspot.com I've made. It's on sale through Lulu at lulu.com/theboy

Everything kicks into high gear: The Trial of The Dark Nebula


It's often said it's always darkest before the dawn - truer words have never been spoken when it comes to The Trial of The Dark Nebula.

In the events that led to the creation of The Dark Nebula, a champion of Life, created by Death, Mark Medula & the alien Cerellus of Caileu killed one another, with both being reborn in Mark Medula's body, while Cerellus remained a disembodied spirit in the recesses of Mark's mind.

On Site Design


Whenever I start thinking about web design, I think of the term "look and feel," which inevitably makes me think of the hamsters in Microserfs. Then, I chuckle to myself and move on.

When designing the look and feel of pear-pear, my wife and I wanted a site that avoided everything we hate about webpages--ads, unnecessary framing, a crowded visual field. But that's a website in general. We also get pretty opinionated when it comes to how we feel about the design of webcomics pages specifically. If the intent is to focus your audience on the art and the narrative, a lot of those poor website design choices become even more inappropriate. With a nonverbal, single-panel comic, it's especially ludicrous.
