That was Fast




2010 is upon us, and before you know it, it'll be 2012 and we'll be like that movie starring John Cusack. I kid. But seriously the year's over. So as I update this infrequently updated blog, I'm thinking about the now, then and future.

The now is cool. In 2009 Colored Comics has changed. Boomerang is gone. And now Random Acts is feature, a comic that was once sporadically updated as a part of this blog. I've done a bit of advertising, which surprising is inexpensive but expensive at the same time. But when your saving for a wedding I guess that's true for a lot of things.

2009 has also ushered in the increased update schedule, which surprisingly is a lighter load, and easier to do. Think of it as if someone said to run 5 miles in a day or run 1 mile each day, which is easier? That's what updating 3 comics, 5 days a week, instead of 3 on 1 day has been like for me.

As for the image above, that is an allusion to plans to eventually collect all these comic strips from this site (at least the funny ones) and throw them in a book and hit the convention circuit (not really, just two cons, maybe three.) But there's a lot of planning 'til we get there and a whole lot of money to be saved. But I'm still excited about doing this, and the more I get to do updates or work on the site on days off, I realize how much more I want to dedicate to the site. But time and energy is limited, so I do what I can. In the meantime, read more comics!

Still Here




In another installment of the sporadically updated colored commentary, since my last update I've made it a point to increase the update schedule in hopes to increase readership at Coloredcomics.com. After launching what was essentially a week long advertising blitz, readership had increased, now the ultimate goal is sustaining that readership. The journey continues.

Webcomics the final frontier!

Ante Up!


Ads to coming to a webcomic near you!

It's been two years. Two years of 3 comic strips, albeit updated only once a week but without fail (with exceptions and a renovation in early 2009). That's approximately 312 comic strips. And all things said I think I've done pretty well. Three strips, became four strips. And four, went back to three. And one comic never debuted (anyone remember Coloredcomics Presents?) Admittedly there have been some growing pains, and I emphasize growing., but Coloredcomics.com has come a far way.

But enough reminiscing! Starting in November, The Super Senior, Toadyhog and Random Acts of Boredom will be update twice weekly. I still haven't settled on the update schedule, but at the very least there will be more comic goodness! Thanks for continued reading! Here's to another year and more!

Old Toadyhog art

Photobucket

An old image from the hard drive. There was a bunch of files from Boomerang in its early stages and Super Senior as well that were corrupted and lost, but I've got the back up disc somewhere, but I know where the hard copies are.

Incomplete



This week's comics will be a little late. And for the past few weeks I have admittedly been suffering from writers block or more like a creativity block. Nonetheless I think I'm starting to break through and will start to get some long overdue website things done in the next few weeks.

Coming up in the next few weeks is the end of year two and the beginning of year three. As we start year three I have been contemplating about dropping Boomerang or at least wrapping it up for a nice tiddy hiatus and shift my focus to more Toadyhog and Super Sr. with an increased update schedule.

Stay Tuned!

Adventures in Advertising



So I've reached the point in my five year plan for ColoredComics.com to start advertising. A little ad button image, as seen above that I plugged into a few websites. It's still to early to really see the effects, but here's to hopeful thinking. I guess we'll also get to find out if my advertising degree is of any practical use to me!

Something Brewing

Since launching ColoredComics.com I've been talking about launching a Superhero comic. And to be honest it is a very time consuming venture, more so than doing a daily comic strip. But nonetheless I still try. Here goes some pencils and inks of someting I'm working on...
