Once again the fickle creative fairy struck. I spent more time trying to come up with a name for this strip than the whole idea -> script -> drawing -> mastering process combined. I’m not 100% happy with what I came up with in the end either. Oh well. Onwards to next week!

Something interesting I realised today about the spam comments I get is that they are specifically targetted at certain strips. It never occurred to me that they would need to be contextual since I usually just delete them immediately. But I’ve noticed that the strip called “Karma Sutra” attracts “free nude pics” type spam. Whereas the strip called “Price Point” attracts all the “cheap pills” type spam. It makes sense when you think about it, but I’d never really credited the spammers with any smarts beyond:

1) Spam Internet
2) ??
3) Profit!

For those keeping track at home, since we migrated the site to the new look and I started my weekly release schedule, we’ve received 29 actual comments, and 243 spam posts.
