Thirty - The Way of All Flesh

   

     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.

     Considering that four months ago Gana didn't even believe in magic--that was on the first page of "The Apprentice," our 11th storyline--I'd say that she's made great strides in the study of the subject. This is, however, only the second time I've been able to draw her wearing her fez since she only wears it when she's in the invisible magical library Tharka built on top of their apartment house, and we've only visited here once before during our 16th storyline, "Toil and Trouble."

     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...

     As I mention above, I've also started putting the archive up on this page over at WebComicsNation. As a sort of back-up, I guess it is.

     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....

     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.
