250 Changes

Ok, so I wrote like a five paragraph note, only to click "Send Pages" and have the site tell me I was not logged in. How can I open the box to load my comic, but not be logged in? And if the site can tell me I need to be logged in to do that action, how come the action (in this case posting a new comic) isn't done.

So now I am forced to re-post the note, only I don't really remember exactly what I wrote.

So, this is the 250th strip. In this chapter I will be breaking down the "fourth wall" and also looking at the nature of webcomics in general. I am relatively new to webcomics. I started reading Questionable Content and a few weeks later was doing REBOUND. I think webcomics can be amazing. Some of the most unique voices in sequential art are doing webcomics. However, there seems to be A LOT of unoriginality as well. I see a lot of strips that are nearly homages to other, older strips.

I don't know how unique REBOUND is. In the end it is. It is esentially a continuation of a strip I did in college combined with a sitcom idea I wrote a pilot for. Sometimes I wonder if it has enough "geek chic" to really be popular.

As far as popularity goes, the strip is really riding high right now. We have a nice spot on DD (at least in terms of comic strips) and that has given me motivation. I penciled a ton of strips the past two days (granted, the easiest part of the process) and I hope to keep updating more frequently.

That's about it for now, but I do want to thank those of you who keep coming back strip after strip.
