Steal My Comic

So, I realized a few days ago that stealmycomic.com was available for purchase.  Figuring that I might want the domain sometime in the future, I plunked down a few dollars and bought it.  Rather than buying a separate hosting plan for it, I decided I would share hosting between this site and my other site, www.antiyawn.com.  Little did I realize that GoDaddy requires a Deluxe or Premium account to have multiple domains hosted on one account.

Having only an Economy hosting plan, I had to buy a Deluxe hosting plan, download all 2.3something gigs of data from antiyawn, delete my antiyawn hosting account (scary), and upload all of it back to the new host.  After that, I set about formatting my comics and I settled upon wordpress and more specifically, comicpress which both work wonderfully.

Anyway, when school starts up in a few weeks, you can expect a new comic every Tuesday and Friday when the Tech publishes.

You may be wondering why the style of my artwork changes so dramatically around June.  I purchased a Wacom graphics tablet a few months ago and have completely changed the way I do comics (previously, it was pen on paper scanned in).

Since getting the tablet, I’ve drawn over 20 comics which I will be releasing throughout the first semester.

I sumbitted Steal My Comic to Reddit last night and I’ve gotten a lot of great comments. Thank you all for the suggestions. Right now, I’m blogging from a phone. If you plan on keeping up with my strip, check back tomorrow for the last of the summer posts, and then on the 25th (I think) when The Tech goes back to Tuesday/Friday publication.

Alrighty, new school year!  Finally I can start posting some of the comics I’ve been writing all summer (because that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing all summer).  So, I’m not sure how I’m going to keep this up all year, but I at least have enough comics done now to last me through October.  This week, The Tech publishes an issue every day, so expect five comics in a row.  Then, I guess it just resumes the usual Tuesday Friday schedule.  They haven’t really told me the details though so we’ll see how that goes…
