Still determined to post first drawn strip before midnight tomorrow night (end of April). I’ve accepted that it will completely suck.

Hoo-boy. Just attempted hand-lettering a strip. Big mistake, but lesson learned: don’t try to letter at an unnatural size.

Well, yesterday I got the initial website configuration setup, which is a huge relief for me, since I had been struggling with it for a couple of weeks. For whatever reason, I couldn’t get the initial comic plugin I chose to work.
