And I’ve talked about update schedules – both when to update and what happens when they’re not met. I guess this is the next in the continuing series of me talking about the methodology of webcomics and the readers who are creators weighing in. Really, I’m just feeling my way around in the dark.

I WROTE RSSPECT.COM BUT I STILL THINK THAT IT'S PRETTY NEATO You could always create an RSSPECT feed for the comics that update too slowly – then, you’ll get notified when the update, rather than having to repeatidly visit a site that hasn’t changed.

I wonder, however, how much of this was due to the schedule problems and how much was to do with the essential difficulty of remaining emotionally invested in a main character who is both dull and unlikeable. It's an interesting challenge for a strip, to build it around a passive-aggressive introvert with a major self-esteem problem. On the other hand, this is one of those comics that I feel works better in larger doses, so I'll withhold final judgement for the time being.

And I cried bitter, bitter tears when it was rebooted without resolving the loose end it was previously left on. The world of webcomics is a fickle place indeed.
