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.
Rocky's really the only centipede we've met in the comic so far--Jo and Alban fetched up on Rocky's doorstep back near the middle of our 36th storyline, "Chiaroscuro," though it wasn't till the bottom of the next page and the page after that that we learned the mythology and reality surrounding them. Maybe we'll be learning more soon!
As far as stories without pictures go, I've got another one in an anthology from Kazka Press. In fact, if you go to their online store, you'll find three anthologies for sale, and I'm the only person who has a story in each! Also? I'll have two stories about Cluny the Sorceress Squirrel appear this year, one in an anthology called What Happens Next and another in vol. 28 of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword & Sorceress.
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 every Monday 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.
Or if you're looking for something completely different, I'll suggest my Facebook page. I have very little idea what the whole point of Facebook is, but I was looking for somewhere to post random poetry...
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....
