Definatly Curse

Kids, you know how yesterday I was all "hey, so my data all got wiped - no biggie"?
Well fuck that. This is one of the worst things that's ever happened to me. The last five years of my artistic life have been wrenched from me.
At first I tried to be all cool. I had the idea that I could just copy the files from Comic Genesis's server using an FTP program. BZZZT Wrong! Comic Genesis doesn't allow copying FROM their servers apparently...
THEN I remembered an old back-up copy of my script folder, which turned out to be about two years old and thus only about half of what I'd lost. Small mercy I suppose, and having something to rebuild on is less scary than having nothing and starting again.
I'm going to take the clapped out drive down to my trusted local techies to see if they can pull anything off of it, and regardless of outcome I'm going to then destroy the hard-drive with a hammer.
But enough whinnying on about bad stuff, here are my plans for the future.
1 - First priority is to get something up on the site, and given that I don't have the scripts to draw it's most likely going to be a picture.
2 - Start uploading a comic-a-day to FA and dA. These will be older stuff, but will be one a day. I regret stopping uploading my standard comic to dA, I lost quite a few readers doing that.
3 - Basically just try to get the standard of my strip to a base level. Don't get me wrong, the art I love in my comic but the wording in the speech bubbles is shocking to the point I'm amazed anyone can even read it. I think it puts people off more than anything.
So yeah, there it is...probably not going to be a "cartoon" for a little while, but hopefully by the beginning of February I'll have managed to defuckulate myself from this shitty situation.
Oh, and I got a job by the way. Whoopee.
