Twenty-Eight - This Mortal Coil

   

     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.

     Jo's been working over at the museum since "Artifacts," our twenty-sixth storyline. It's only been ten days from her point of view between there and here, but, well, that can be a long time...

     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...

     The Web Counter at the bottom of the page there's been counting now for three years, too! So many numbers...

     For more on me and the origins of this comic, please check out the Archive page. Feel free also to check out the other online comics that I enjoy, including my other webcomic, Terebinth. I've been getting it into order lately, but it's still got, what, 60 or so semi-regular comics on it? All numbers quoted here are, of course, approximate. As is just about everything else associated with this web site.
