Rants

Matt:   Sorry about this late rant… pretty busy these days, and besides I need to take a break from the site… to rejuvenate/ refresh/whatever-you-call-it myself. I don’t think it really matter whether there is one less rant? ^^;

Anyway, this issue of comic was in fact completed before schedule… the assigned deadline was monday. So, actually I completed two comics within the same week, but don’t keep your hopes too high. This is still formally, primarily a weekly comic. ^_^

Alas, time passes by quickly and school will reopen in another one and a half weeks. speaking of which, december is also the time of merry-making, enjoyment and giving and receiving presents. Have the christmas spirit rub off on you yet? ^_~ the cover girl u should already see by now is actually my idea of an angel- a snow angel. If ya look close enough, she’s holding a lighted candle, without a candleholder! *gasp* to speak truthfully, I wasn’t planning of drawing one, but somehow the image of one has ingrained too deep - complete with the entire idea of creating the “feel”- into my brain that i thought i needed to get it out of the system. and aren’t u glad that i did? it certainly brings more life to a comic page, eh?

Sorry, i have to admit my coloring skills suck. So that’s why u don’t see a 64-bit colored picture but a monochrome one with snows that are produced from airbrushes of different sizes. ¬_¬; and just before i end my boring rant, some of my friends did complained that the characters, in particular Ed and I in the comic, don’t look like those in the banner. well... at least they look consistently the same in the comic strips… and the clever explanation i can think of is that the one in the banner is the “caricature” of our real selves, whilst the ones in the comic were merely representative portrayal… haha.

Hope u like the new adjustments and stuff that ed has put in hard work in do. Until next time, enjoy yourself!

Ed:   Hi again! its been a rather traumatic week as we have to deal with shifting the site to a new one, receiving causic remarks and returning them but i guess we survived. not that i'm against suggestions but do try to be tactful and know our limitations as students setting up a new website. what you see is just the skeleton of the site and we are constantly evolving, trying to make the website more accessible to you and at the same time add some spice to the monotony of the website. this website is something that we have always wanted to do for a long while and finally managed to pull through against the odds. do keep your constructive comments coming through either through the new forums, email or through a icq message to either matt or i.

It can be said that a warm smile and a nice comment can make one's day. for this, i'd like to thank allan and steven for supporting. allan has been very supportive of both the forums and the website and is constantly pushing us to churn out the next strip and to fix up the forum. a word of praise from steven really made my day (or rather night) as that night when he sent me an icq message, i had heard tons of complaints and irrelavant suggestions that i felt like just hiding under my bed listening to some soothing music. his message was simple, "yo.... heee..... your new website is great.... good drawings there..... :)" and that really perked me up got me rethinking the concept of the site. just want to say thanks. :)

I don't know how many people will carry on visiting the site after they have seen it this time as visitor retention is one of the major problems a weekly publication such as our's face. thus, we've decided to merge my "baby", the entente forums, with project me. hope that you don't just read, join in our discussions at the forums. i'm sure you'll get addicted to it once you start.

Thats all from me now, seeya next time when i've more to rant about.

Goodbye, happy holidays and take care!
