Added bonus: when the strips start up again, they’re going to increase to 780 pixels wide, from their previous 600. Just ‘cos Sue’s art deserves showing off!

Okay! Fixed Again, Again!

Okay, fixed the stylesheet again. And hopefully, thanks to some assistance from Frumph.net, it’ll stay fixed for a while this time.

Bad news … Suburban Jungle needs the same treatment. But that can wait for now.

WTF Comicpress (And a Strip Progress Update)

The Gneech — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:50:19 +0000

For some reason, every time Comicpress updates, it hoses NeverNever and I have to redo the stylesheet. It doesn’t mess up Suburban Jungle, which is running on exactly the same engine. Go fig!

Sorry about the site scrambling. I’ll fix this when I have a few minutes.

IN HAPPIER NEWS…

Sue and I have started weekly Skype meetings to make status reports to each other, and she’s been sending me more pencils. We’re starting to get into the big finish of the Widow Shins story line, so we’re not that far from ink, at which point they will start *gasp* actually appearing on the page! (We’re trying to build up a decent backlog before we start posting again.)

At this stage, it’s looking like somewhere around late September/early October for the story to pick up again. When we have a more definite date nailed down, I’ll post it here.

But first … gotta fix the (muttergrumble) CSS again…

Today in Arcadian History: Death of King Olaf

The Gneech — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:29:58 +0000

July 29, 1030 (A.D.) — Óláfr Haraldsson (a.k.a. King Olaf II of Norway) is killed in the Battle of Stiklestad. Believed by many among the faeries to be a Pendragon despite the notable absence of Excalibur in any identifiable form, King Olaf II had united much of Norway either by defeating lesser rulers or outright crushing resistance. His reign enforced the acceptance of Christianity (for which he was later canonized), but he can hardly be said to have been popular, being so brutal to his enemies that eventually a small but fierce contingent of pookas found themselves aiding their farmers in battle against him, much to the annoyance of the faeries who were on his side. As if this schism weren’t bad enough, King Olaf was convinced by his gnomish consultant that leaning against a handy rock to take a short lunch break during the middle of the battle would be a good idea.

Okay, Fixed … For Now

The Gneech — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:52:55 +0000

The new version of ComicPress tossed out some settings and a lot of the stylesheet customization I had done; I’ve got most of it back in place now … at least until another update comes along. Oy!

Sorry ’bout that!

What the Heck?

The Gneech — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:06:53 +0000

Something seems to have hosed the styles and settings for the site. I’m investigating this now and will see if I can figure out what the problem is — and how to fix it.

Back From Further Confusion!

And what’s the news? Well first off, I can finally go ahead and announce that the “new” artist for NeverNever is in fact the returning Sue Rankin, who took me around to her studio while I was out in California and let me get a peek at what she’s got cooking there (and the NN storyboards taped to the wall near her drawing table).

I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year.
