Thirty-Five - Iris Out
Daily Grind, my attempt to replicate the radio serials of the 1930s and '40s--things like Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and The Shadow and most especially I Love a Mystery--as a daily webcomic full of talking animals, is brought to you courtesy of the Daily Grind Comics Challenge--or whatever it's actually called: "Men of Iron" figures into it, I seem to recall, so I'm guessing they're all Howard Pyle fans.
Well, so much for them! Of course, we still have the concluding chapter starting here Monday and scheduled to last on through pretty much for the rest of summer, but, I mean, what more could possibly happen?
Note added Friday afternoon: y'know, I've often wondered--just in an idle sort of a way--how much of a fussbudget I could be if I really let myself go. Well, I don't wonder anymore.
Because, while re-reading "Iris Out" this morning, I noticed that for the last three weeks, I'd forgotten to draw in Cinnamon's black eye, the shiner she got when Jolene had to knock her out near the end of "A Flick of the Lash," our 32nd storyline. Three guesses, then, what I've spent the past hour doing...
I'll keep linking folks over to this page on Joseph Bergin III's LiveJournal, too, where he's posted the Daily Grind 4th Anniversary Portraits. Once he's sent me the originals, I'll get 'em set up on the site here, and thanks again, JBIII!
Oh, and the Daily Grind for the Weekly Reader thing seems to be catching on. Every Saturday, I'll be stacking the previous week's strips on one page for folks who'd rather get a bigger chunk of the story at one sitting without all that tedious mouse clicking. That's also where folks can go to subscribe to an RSS feed for both Daily Grind and Terebinth: the nice people at Livejournal have apparently been providing it as a service all this time.
The URL to add to your RSS reader--or whatever it is you use--is http://hyniof.livejournal.com/data/rss. This'll get you Terebinth five times a fortnight and the whole week of Daily Grind mooshed together every Saturday, and thanks to the guys over in The Webcomic List Forums for making me start thinking about all this. Ah, technology...
I've also started putting the comic up on this page over at WebComicsNation. As a sort of back-up, I guess it is. It's got an RSS feed associated with it, too, if you'd rather avail yourself of that.
The StatCounter at the bottom of the page there's fairly new as well. The other one I was using kept disappearing and even began going backward at one point, so we'll see how this one works out....
