Polytopes

  1. Hey new comic! At http://comic.mercentown.org in the manner of http://www.qwantz.com
  2. Who knows when the next time I'll do comics is.
  3. Okay http://comic.mercentown.org It's not my proudest moment, but at least I got a good one in the title.
  4. Took me forever to work out a viable "roundabout way" joke.
  5. This comic is really an excuse for a newspost.
  6. My left hand has the steps of making a comic and my right hand has Wil Wheaton's blog. Shuffle once, cut, and draw until the comic's done.
  7. Finishing #78: Brine Eighting.
  8. "Drawing" a ray gun.
  9. Working on Alphabetic Transposition Man, because I don't remember where the regular Polytopes story was going.
  10. New comic AREN'T YOU EXCITED. I bet it saved Christmas! http://comic.mercentown.org
  11. Also I gave the page a footer? But only sometimes? I don't know. Possibly I'll New Year's Resolve to stop fucking with the website.
  12. Now the comic is not as huge. Although everything in it is. http://comic.mercentown.org
  13. New comic! Super huge, which is why it was late. http://comic.mercentown.org
  14. Thinking about comics and paronomastic superheroes but mostly sleep.
  15. Also probably won't have time for another comic until late Friday.
  16. Put up a comic, also a Paypal (but you don't need an account!) donation button and tiny little list of links. Yay?
  17. Should be time for a comic today. Must decide whether to put two awful jokes in one strip, or save 'em for multiple updates.
  18. New comic! In which a basic explanation is given.
  19. *imagines a Pokémon evolution sequence for his website*
  20. A comic is finished, but between the site restructuring and finals business who knows if I'll end up posting it today.
