The Site is Finally Up!

Author's Comments: January 24th, 2008

Read “Making Comics” if You Want Your Webcomics to Become Better

Author's Comments: February 7th, 2008

Comics is more than just pretty drawings (or may be it has nothing to do with prettiness), it involves writing, planning, pacing, placement of graphic element to show action, flow of time, locations, moods and many other things. I was actually a little hesitant to create my own comics, because I knew the most I [...]

Now I am using a different plugin to fight off spams, the commenting [...]

Author's Comments: April 9th, 2008

Author's Comments: May 5th, 2008

WordPress 2.5 brings a lot of new features to the table and one of the interesting things is avatar icon for the comments that you made.
