I'm trying new things again. I used the same pens that turned out too gray and forced the lines to be totally black on the computer. Don't think I like the effect. Now it is TOO dark... Hmm.

If you want to know when a new Funzietown comic is up, just follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jeffa00.
I'm trying to get one or two out each week, but not on a specific publish-on-this-day schedule.
When I post a new comic, I tweet about it.

Want to see more than one comic on a page?
Try the Archive button.
It will show the entire comic in a pageable format with multiple comics per page.
If you want to catch up on the story so far, this is the way to go.
Just remember that it is in order from newest to oldest, so you want to go the page with the highest number and work your way back.

I had hoped to get the new website and comic up over the holidays, but it took me longer than expected.
I hope you like the new website. I'm learning a new stack of web development from Microsoft called MVC (Model View Controller). I'm a programmer, so I decided to write my own blog and comic software rather than use Wordpress and Comicpress like everyone else. If I were just doing the comic, I would use that too, but I need to learn new technologies. Eventually I will release the engine as an open source project so anyone can use it if they want.
I've also tried some new things with the drawing style. You can see that the professor's hair looks different now. I try to be consistent with the look, but as I learn new things I like to try to improve the style.
I have no idea how frequently I'll be able to update the comic, but I'll try for a weekly schedule.
Happy New Year!

Today (December 11th, 2009) marks the 37th anniversary of the Apollo 17 moon landing depicted in the current storyline of Funzietown.
Hard to believe it has been 37 years since humans made it to the moon.
If you want more info on Apollo 17 you can go to the NASA site.
FYI, I'm hoping that over Christmas I'll be able to post a couple more strips in the storyline. I have the rest of this storyline done as pencil roughs, but haven't had time to work them through the full draw, re-draw, ink, scan, post process.
I also hope to convert this site to my new blogging engine by the end of the year. No promises, since it depends on how much time I get to work on it.

Quick link back to my blog for a one off drawing I did based on Disney buying Marvel: Mousketeers Assemble!.
