Huge difference. The Flash version will be a muti-directional branching comic. The html will just be the panels as I upload them. Some transitions won't make sense in the html. I might eventually put the html in a mirroring table layout but I can't do that until it's all done, cause I don't know wha...

Here's a <a href="http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi-26/png/panels.html">Non-Flash version</a> of the panels from <a href="http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi-26/mi-26.html">Mimi's Last Coffee</a> for those of you who can't (or would rather not) install the plug-in. A bit half-baked, but ...

Out of interest, was it drawn in the Flash program? Nope. Those are imported PNG's (like gifs but not owned by stupid, stupid compuserve creatures) that were drawn directly in Photoshop. I considered using Illustrator as a source to get the slick look in Zen Dating and The Right Number, but decided...

I LOVE that you guys took the time to do this. Thank you!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Robots Love to Dance was a lot shorter. Just a day per panel most likely, starting around Jan 2. I often take little vacations around Christmas/Channukah/New Year's/Ivy's Birthday. As for the longest improv, I think it would be best to count Meadow of the Damned Parts 1-3 ...

Just uploaded the fix. Thanks, everybody!

scottmccloud.com is indeed a very old-fashioned html site. Just a little PHP when needed (formmail and the BitPass gateway, for example). No css, no rss feeds, (yet...).

If there are any features you guys think are especially needed, please let me know.

The fact that the index page works was an eye opener.

I found a lot of differences, so I duped the index's head and other relevant code and just brought it in (with a few modifications).

Please tell me if this works now:

Thanks!

Try it now. Any difference? GoLive has this maddening habit of inserting local addresses, such as when I move a document out of a folder; instead of just taking one of my "../"s out, the program lists its absolute location on my friggin' hard drive. Thought I caught those but apparently I missed one...

Sorry for the delayed response. Been a busy week. I think the button is fine. Eventually I'll make some standard button images for convenience's sake, but people are always welcome to roll their own. (I sometimes get emails from people requesting to link to me and use an image to do so and I'm just ...

Actually those two panels: http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi-25/zzz-b3.gif ...were an accident. I only noticed after the linework went in that it looked like a single figure. I even changed the lines somewhat to lessen the effect?though not enough. While it could be interpreted symbolically (...

Yes, indeed.

Had the idea a few weeks ago. Didn't want to make it too obvious, but then I can't pull anything over on you guys.

Lest anyone get confused by the thread title, the official date of 24-Hour Comics day is
April 24, 2004.

Of course, anyone can do it whenever they want! Good luck with yours, Ben!

...including the startling pair: "Scott McCloud is the devil/Scott McCloud is the messiah" appearing right next to each other even though they're from completely unrelated pages.

A few refer to the bassist from the band Boys Vs Girls, but most are me.

It's...

...kinda scary.

Good point about story arcs, OUQTURABUT. I do think that story structure (like drawing style) can evolve to the point where some of the initial elements no longer work. The longer the story, the more unlikely that the arc will be a smooth, internally consistent one. As for pre-meditation, the idea t...

Relevent and fascinating, actually, Bjorn. Thank you.

I was wondering why I'd felt like writing "Nor'Eastah". Now I know.

I'm too lazy to fix it on the jpg, but I've fixed it on the origninal, in case there are future uses.

May want to try a Google search. Press "I Feel Lucky" and, um...
get spammed with t-shirt ads.
Aww.

Yeah, I figure its time to throw in the graying temples. Might even do it in the next book.

The real change my Avatar needs is to be let out a few inches at the waist, but I'd rather modify the RL version if possible. We'll see...

[grr. there goes that post-link bug again.]

Anyway, Odessa was decapitated, but others faced even worse fates. Fred the Clown was reduced to two feet and Pup was a single hand. Brutal business, cartooning...

Hi Lisa!

Naw, the idea was a sort of pan across a landscape crop, so there had to be some amputations to make it work.

Bring 'em by, Ben. I'll be happy to take a look!

Okay, I'm back. What I was about to say after the link was: As for vincent's question, I think the technique he's referring to is just saving the close-up .jpgs available on pages like this (see my truncated post above for the real link) and asking his OS to blow it up to full screen. I suppose this...

Aggh! A bug devoured everything after that link and now I've got to run out the door.

I'll post the rest a bit later.
