Bits and Pieces
Couldn't get this out of my head today: a preview for Narbonic, the motion picture, set completely to Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science." (Lyrics -- Video) Lots of shots of Helen Narbon's handiwork, and the main characters in various mad-sciencey adventures. Very jumpcutty, very fast. Ends with Helen's maniacal laughter, then living letters assembling themselves into the word "Narbon." The last "n" gives birth to an "i" and a "c," which grow to full size, and the dot over the "I" begins to glow pink, then explodes into a shower of hearts.
Biggest accomplishment today: beefed up the P&A forums. I restored the "view newest post" feature and enabled IP blocking. Just in time, too, because we're currently under a serious spampost attack. I've blocked four IPs already and it may get worse before it gets better.
Gisele and I have been looking into a variety of auto-update programs; I've been testing some. Your suggestions are always appreciated.
The new Penny and Aggie book has hit the proofing stage.
Beyond that, today was pretty much just odds and ends and dull financial stuff. Still not getting done: any serious scripting for Divalicious 2. Let's see how tomorrow goes.

Mr. Campbell...
I don't believe we've ever spoken.
I first started reading webcomics when I stumbled - I no longer remember exactly how - across "Fans", as a high school student.
Before it, I was a bookworm. I didn't know what a fan was, the depth that fandom and that comics themselves could hold, until I first read your work.
I lost track of "Fans" years later, when it moved to Graphic Smash and I couldn't afford a subscription - and just found it again four days ago.
Four days was all it took me to re-read it, to remember the joy it brought into my life and to understand some, at least, of the allusions and in-jokes which had gone over my head when I read it the first time.
I finished reading it tonight; I just wanted to say...thank you. Thank you for bringing "Fans" to the world.
Pleasure was mine, M.
