More from Dreamkeepers
So, last week’s Prelude ( http://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/Pr.....ude.php?pg=168 ), I drew a silhouette of Ms. Crimp. The moment it was done, I realized that THIS (see comic above) had just happened. You’d think stealing Ms. Bitters would be a challenge, but she’s actually quite lightweight. Hopefully if Mr. Vasquez ever happens to stumble upon our site, he’ll consider our use of Ms. Bitters/Crimp to be more of an homage, and less of what actually transpired, which is a total ransacking of our beloved inspirations. But it shall not end here - for now the wanderlust of pillage is upon me! Mr. Watterson had best remain vigilant.
So we are aware of a lot of design similarities between the two characters, but are still pretty sure Ms. Bitters could kick Crimp’s ass.

by the way, i know it says clear as day that updates are on Friday, and i also know that webcomics get a lot of their funding by advertisement... i was just wondering if you had considered use of an RSS for feed readers.. I read The Phoenix Requiem religiously every week, but only because i get a weekly notification that the comic has been updated. The main reason i stopped reading Sabrina is because i kept forgetting to read it and lost track of the story line....
An RSS feed is kinda like an inbox for the internet. There are some programs for it but i use google reader, which is web based and operates rather similarly to gmail.
Basically it just tells you that a website has updated. For instance on this page by Rick Griffin http://www.housepetscomic.com/ if you are useing firefox you should see a small orange square in the far end of the address bar with a dot and two semicircular lines. That tells you that the page is set up with a RSS, if you click on that box, it will direct you to a menu where you can decide how you would like to subscribe. When ever the artist adds a new web comic, it broadcasts that update to anyone subscribed to the feed. In the case of house pets it shows you the comic right there in your reader so you dont have to go to the webpage at all...this is actually kinda bad for advertising purposes... Meanwhile with the phoenix requiem, here http://www.housepetscomic.com/ subscribing to the feed will only update you that a new page has been uploaded, but you will have to go to his webpage to read it.
Similarly, this is how i get my news. I subscribe to the daily headlines from bbc, and msnbc, as well as the tech blogs dvice, engadget, gizmodo, and the feed *from g4*. When ever a new headline is published, it is delivered to my reader in real time with the headline, images, and a brief summary, usually the first paragraph of the article.
As for how this is done... dont ask me.. but it is really efficient... Think of it as a news paper that only gives you information form sources you are interested in.
If you REALLY want to get a feeling for it, the best i can say is go to google.com/reader and try it out. Its one of those things that trying to describe it makes it sound complicated when its actually pretty simple.. Youll either love it, or hate it, but once you get use to it it becomes as much a part of your daily routine as checking your mail. Personally i usually keep the reader open all day because it gives you real time updates of the 3 dozen different webpages i keep track of...
