August
25th
I know, I'm a terrible person, and I should have put a comic up on Friday. One is coming though, and I heartily apologize for the inconsistencey. I'm still working out this whole "having things to do" thing once more. Some good news is that the link to the forum now works again, as I found out the address changed during the upgrade of the forums. They are now much much faster, and I'm sure you've noticed, so is the main site. I'll try to be sure to get a comic up by tomorrow at the latest, and unfortunately, It hink we're gonna have to stick with the one-a-week format for a bit now, as we continue to ease back into the school groove. Hopefully, eventually we'll be back up to 3 a week or perhaps even the dizzying heights of 5 days a week such as we started with. So, give us some feedback for what you'd like to see, either at our email addresses, or at the forum. Well, catch all of you later, -Jeff August 12th Alrighty, by now you've probably seen the placeholder above, and I am very sorry for not having the comic up by this evening as promised. My engagements ended up taking a lot longer than I expected of them, so I didn't have time to finish drawing before tonight, and now the scanner is not accessible. Anyway,until tomorrow, I have two backgrounds for you. The first is a compilation of Tony Diterlizzi art, and he is quite possibly my favorite modern artist, certainly so in the fantasy department. All pictures therein are copyright Tony Diterlizzi, and I am about to contact his website regarding the use of it, to make sure it's kosher, but I'll take it down if there's any problem with permission. Anyway it is here. The other one springs from too much Warcraft III and the crazy summoning animations for the undead buildings, which I just think are really cool, but then I'm weird that way. It can be found here, and is copyright Jeff Russell, and I grant permission to anyone to use it as a desktop background, or other personal use, but not to distribute it or edit it without further permission (had to get that fun legal stuff outta the way, and it makes me feel all official and what not). So, take a look at those, enjoy, and look for the comic tomorrow. Speaking of legal stuff, this is a requirement of the White Wolf game company, a purveyor of fine dark fantasy roleplaying games
-Jeff August 12th Hey, comic will be up this afternoon, or this evening at the latest, just thought I'd let you know. Busy days yesterday and today, so I'm sorry. Anyway, see you then -Jeff August 9th Ok, well, as you probably noticed the art of today's strip isn't quite what we usually feature. This lovely piece is brought to you by my girlfriend, Erin. We admittedly drew the idea from the venerable Penny Arcade whose strip for today was drawn by their writer, Tycho. Erin was reading it whilst at my house and said "I wanna draw one for you" so I said "ok" because I'm a lazy bum and didn't have a strip ready for today anyway. In other news, expect us to continue with our regular, quasi-continuity keeping storyline on Monday, as drawn by moi. Unless Matt wants to give it a go. Hell, I may never have to draw my own comic again ; ) Also, as fair warning, I head back for one last tour of duty at that hellish place that provides the setting for the comic, High School. We're going to endeavour not to let the year swamp us as last year did, and keep the funny rolling. Or flowing. Or spurting, or whatever, but it'll be getting to you whether it be moving in gaseous, solid, or even liquid form. On that note, I go to play more Warcraft III -Jeff August 9th Hey there everybody, just thought I'd let you know that a comic is indeed coming later today, but it is not here yet because I just got Warcraft III. If that doesn't explain itself, then I don't know how I could do a better job. Needless to say, getting my summer reading done hasn't been helped by this occurence either. Anyhow, check back later this afternoon, or maybe this evening, or if you don't fell like worrying about the time, tomorrow. At any rate, I'll get the comic up and make with the funny. It's not gonna be another case of me not making one for, you know, 2 months. So, enjoy -Jeff August 2nd The Underground has been undergoing some changes recently, including
major updates to almost every section of the site. New additions include
updated and more inclusive descriptions in the Cast section and the
Meet The Author's section, now including some of my writing work. Soon
enough, this section will be moved to the main page, but for now the
link for it will be off of Meet The Authors, for any of you who want
to brave assorted rantings and writings. The Links pages have been updated
as well, and several new strips are on the way. Though we'll miss today's
strip, we will not only make it up but give you an extra one this week,
as well as our now-normal Friday strip. Like anybody reads this anyways
;-) -Matt August 1st Well, what the hell happened? I'm sure you'd like to know why there haven't been regular updates all summer long, after I promised *more* updates in the summer. I'm also sure you're wondering why there are only 5 of you, and all of you already know me. Maybe I'm being generous. The long and short of it is that I'm lazy and I've been busy. I'm not likely to get any less busy, but I've gotten my webcomic dedication back. Matt and I have made an executive decision to ease out of our (mostly my) laziness by delivering a weekly strip, on Fridays. If monday would suit you good folks better, hit me up at blak_joker@hotpop.com or any other day of the week for that matter. Also, I'm afraid the comics will probably continue to be pencil with no good speech bubbles for a bit. I know this is a cop out, at one a week I should be cranking out full color masterpieces, but like I said, we're trying to ease back. That's another thing to let us know about, do you want more, less good drawing-wise comics, or less, higher quality art strips? Hit the email, or if they work, the forums. Thanks for sticking with us, and tell your friends we're back in business. -Jeff, terrible human being |
