Fire in the Sky

It seem that John Allison has had to open up The Crisis Center (he's even had to to resort to using the American spelling). Since launching Bad Machinery nearly 2 months ago he reckons he's lost half his readers.

His thinking is

From what I can work out, there's an age group (college age and just above) that find a comic about children very alienating, some people almost sounded wounded about it.

Update on the last post: Webcartoonist Dana Simpson has won Amazon's Comic-Strip Superstar Competition.

Last day of voting for the Amazon Comic-Strip Superstar contest. There's at least one webcomic creator among the finalists, Dana Simpson of Ozy and Millie and Raine Dog.

I should make mention of two facts that I don't think I've crossposted to Snarkoleptics.

1) Brigadier John Stark is back. And in fact has been back since October 26.

2) It is now possible to advertise on the site, thanks to the good people at Project Wonderful.

Regardless of whether or not you elect to advertise with the General, I hope you have a chance to read through his stuff. While my health hasn't permitted things like story or essay writing, the strips seem doable and it's a nice stress release.

Thanks as always!

Pleased to announce that the second tiny ghosts anthology is now available. Admittedly, every comic in the anthology is already available online for free. However, if you buy the book, then you can take it with you and enjoy tiny ghosts in all sorts of places that are not internet accessible - such as airplanes, deserted islands, and maximum security prisons. In addition, the anthology contains several behind the scenes segments that explain how the comic is created.

You can get more information and order the book direct from me at:
http://www.tinyghosts.com/books/

or, you can get it at amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931468281/invisiblecoll-20

If you get it from me, the book will come signed. If you get it from amazon, I won't have to walk to the post office.

Today's Order of Tales update! MY GOODNESS, eh? This certainly explains certain cryptic statements in Rice Boy.
