Comic 20101031

CheerGirl is one of the few asides I've had left in my notebook from when I was first plotting out the comic. Originally, Sarah was going to have some different costume and Mabel was going to be Cassandra Cain Batgirl and there were a few more pages. We might see those someday and Mabel dressed up too.

I think this picture turned out fairly well. It went quickly at least. I moved some pages around in the archives to fit this in correctly with QT's first Halloween in Landing.

ComicCMS

I will be slowly working on a new site for Cutethulhu using ComicCMS. I fooled with a few versions of Wordpress plugin/themes for webcomics and they were an outrageous overkill.

ComicCMS is small and lite and looks easy enough to customize. I'm a little excited about tinkering with plugins and code again. Until November3 I should be able to keep up on daily updates. After that i won'y be incharge of my own time too much.

Comic 20101030

This is what happens at Pool Party, Male Bonding. Later they both discuss how they both like like money. I had to show the sign that Professor Riley made for the pool.

Possible Website Change.

After the partial outage with the .. whatever is broke at comic genesis .. I went so far as install wordpress with Webcomic plugin on another server.

It works fairly well so far. The plugin's site seems to be down so I'm flailing around without documentation. The downside so far seems that I can not post stories out of order in the way I would wish. One solution is the same that I use currently, keep a little javascript navigation available to override the generated navigation. Another is to hack the plugin and fight with that.

There are a few other comic plugins that I'm going to look at and comic specific CMSes. The only real feature I want that I don't have is threaded comments. I've thought about iframing this blog into the current page. but, that is an ungainly hassle.

Comic 20101029

Welcome to the Pool Party: Beer Drag. These pool party updates are going to mostly be random snippets; parts of conversations, one page jokes, etc. They won't be in order. There will be a few important things happening if I can get them across.

Of course, Professor Riley is one of those creepy dads.

Cutethulhu.com is not updating. today's comic is Here

Comic 20101028

Woke up the other morning and had this idea in my head Enforced Diet. This may remove Shub from the pool party. I toyed with dropping it in the past or future somewhere, but decided to leave it in with the current updates.

I'm still torn between staying at Comic Genesis or building my own site. It really gets to be a hassle sometimes updating in several directions at once.

Comic 20101027

We are finally leaving QTs Bedroom in the Morning 3 after this. These last pages were fun to do. I made an effort not to jump around so much. In the story the pool party is next and there are a few little one offs to do to.

I really need to get to Mable. She has a pretty decent character arc I want to explore.

Comic 20101026

I always think this sort of thing is interesting QTs Bedroom in the Morning 2.

I'm not sure if Cutethulhu will understand what goes on with other people and sex stuff. Obviously, she has her own desires and it seems so far that they are gender biased. We see now she has no problem being intimate beyond gender.

Comic 20101025

Sarah wakes up in QTs Bedroom in the Morning. Well, the story has taken a little turn now. We aren't sure where Sarah's underpants have gone. I saw that they weren't there and thought they could have been taken off but that I should just draw them in. I forgot to draw them in several times while editing so, one of the girls must have taken them off.

I'm finishing up some dialog for the next page and I'm still debating on how things will turn out exactly. Honestly much of it depends on how much dialog I can fit into the page. Then it might not be too long before we see people swimming in the garden pool.

Comic 20101024

Without further incident Sarah makes it to QTs Bedroom at Night. So Sarah is somewhat wasted and wants nothing more to do than crawl into bed.

I will have to note that the last time we'd seen QTs bedroom it was rather bland. We have not seen the redecorating yet, which happens about nine months ago. I have a few funny bits for it, but we will get to that later.

This part of the story is leading up to a dramatic bit that I have to be careful about. Both Sarah and QT are fairly even keeled and world wise in their own ways, but each has triggers that may set them off. I'm still not sure which way the script is going to steer.

Comic 20101023

The third frame is a little confusing .. whether Professor Riley sees Sarah from In the Kitchen Garden. I think this is a longer stretch of continuous updates where the pages are in the order of the story. There are two more that are just about ready.

Comic 20101022

Guy drives of into the night in his party van Sarah at Work 5. Sarah is heading to QT's and it should be obvious now that there is some sort of plot going on and it is going to get stranger and more complicated.

Comic 20101021

This was part of a full page Sarah at Work 4. I skipped the rest of the wet T contest. I have a good time drawing the headless dancers so I will definitely revisit them later.

Some important long terms story stuff is going on finally.

Comic 20101020

Exposition can be delivered effectively as long as it isn't heavy handed or like in
Sarah at Work 3, with a blow job.

I didn't think I'd get a comic up today, even a little one like this. Mybe I won't make it tomorrow.

Apology Sketch

If I had a place in a current story this picture would've been the next update. I may use this for a bit of a donation incentive later on. I've been toying around with a silly idea for one and that is what got me started on this picture today. It is all about finding time right now.

Comic 20101019

Wet T-Shirts for Life 3 is a very fast picture. Had some minor but time consuming crises today.

Comic 20101014

This page actually looked a lot like I had visionized it when I woke up this morning Slurpy Awakening. Often I have something sketched or thought out and in the process of putting it together it gets away from me.

I forgot to post this when I uploaded the comic. I don't remember why.

Comic 20101018

I wanted to spruce this up a bit more. Sarah at Work 2 Looks like Sarah and Guy are going to have a business arrangement of the dick in mouth variety. It is nice to finally get to some of the first arcs I wrote for this big story. I will be jumping around to establish a few things.

My wife is down sick and I'm not feeling well myself. You can expect a smaller, rougher, later update tomorrow.

Comic 20101017

Sarah at Work. I had a very tight schedule to get this done and it suffered a little for it. I think the next few updates will be just a few panels while I try to get behind other projects.

I hope you can see over the next month some previously disconnected plots and arcs come together. There is a plan.

Comic 20101016

I'm thinking about telling the arc leading to Wet T-Shirts for Life 2 from Cousin Guy backwards. More backwards than usual. As I finish up some of the wet t-shirt pages I will be thinking about that.

Maybe no update for Sunday, or maybe a lesser update. I have a full day tomorrow and not much time to devote to the comic. I still have some website design things to work on too. I may just take a technical day and do that. I think I've missed one day in the past couple of months.

Comic 20101015

This took longer than it looks. Party Planning A little hint of a major event and turning point in the big story.

I've been casting about trying to decide which storyline to pursue next. I think Mabel has been left behind. Overall she has the most challenging character development of the whole story.

Comic 20101013

A little free sketching for Get it Together. I had a fairly shitty day today and I don't have much hope for the rest of the week.

I will be working tomorrow in some capacity away from the computer so my updates are going to suffer.

Comic 20101012

Getting this done and posted was a near thing. I had some emergency errands to run and time was tight. Pink Blanket

I have something going on most of the day Tuesday so I'm unsure about the next day's comic. I had the best week in terms of traffic to Cutethulhu ever last week. It was nice. I've really been getting into all of this. I just wish I had more time for it.

Comic 20101011

Sarah laments the Bavarian Pretzel. True story.

I spent a good bit of my comic time writing a little javascript to rotate random comic thumbnails on the front page. I stopped making thumbnails for each comic some time ago so it will take some time until I go back and get them all made. Once they are all done I'll thumbnail the story menu.

Comic 20101010

Night fishing, at night in Bait. It is a bit tough to see what is going on but that is how it works at night. This lone fisherman was never seen again. This one is part of the River God cycle; we have not it seen in the comic yet.

I had a couple ideas in this sort of theme. I posted one here here which will be developed into something interesting.

Vote Incentive Old and New

I'd been fooling with this particular picture for a long time and I had to make a break with it if I ever wanted to post it. You can consider it a 'Bad End' or a 'Good End' to the comic story depending on your point of view.



This is the old incentive that is still a preview image of the the wet T-shirt story.

Comic 20101009

I didn't have the time I wanted to get End of Class looking right. I put it up anyways. Just a little transition into the next round of things. Roland's visit to Marla's will have to wait while I get some other things caught up.

On deck are
The wet T-shirt contest, QT and Sarah at the mall, A few bits with cousin Guy, newer story with Sarah and a crapload of other stuff. There is a great deal of stuff with Mabel that I've skipped around with and I have to absolutely catch up on.

Comic 20101008

Kind of woke up this morning with how this was going to look in my mind. Dictation is my favorite secretary play on words joke .. 'dick' tation .. get it?

I need to strengthen my scripts a bit. I feel I'm being overly vague in some instances, but I'm afraid to clog the pages up with too many words. I often start sketching things before I have a strong script and have to squeeze or stretch what needs to be in words.

I'm going to a large job fair in the morning. If I'm lucky I'll find something decent and you will be seeing a lot less of me here.

Comic 20101007

I was poking around in the archives fixing a few typos here and there and I did this up Big Date VIa which is just an expanded frame from Big Date VI I was going to squeeze a breast 'headlights' joke in there someplace.

Warm-up-20101006

Just a very quick sketch this morning. I don't know if i will get anything more done today. I've been putting off a few things and I need to get back on track.

Comic 20101006

I put up two comics today I back posted one for Monday Mary Wonders in a Tree ..

and today's regular update Sarah Visits 3. Sarah and Q get ready to have a girls night out at the big city shopping mall in Union. I'm not sure what sort of trouble they will get into, but I will be thinking hard on it.

Comic 20101004

A double update today. Mary Wonders in a Tree is the seed of a potentially naughty adventure. How far will Mary go to test Marla's unnatural allegiance to Roland? I think we will see some interesting turns from all three of these people before it is all over.

Comic 20101005

Two updates following each other that are also in chronological order in the story. It feels like it has been a while since that has happened Sarah Visits 2.

Not sure what is up for the next few updates or when. I have to do some job hunting this week. You may just be seeing more sketchy stuff from me. I had to give my furnace a stern look this afternoon to get it to run right. It is getting chilly.

Comic 20101003

A late update today with Sarah Visits. Shub is not a very gracious or clothed hostess.

As I've said a few times I'm having chaos at home so updates are going to be sporadic and the subject matter may be a bit mean-spirited to reflect some of the frustrations I'm muddling through.

No Update Apology Sketch

The doctor character in this picture is originally from my old CoC game. I don't think he really had a name there and had just come onto the scene when we stopped playing. Whether he will be brought into the comic or not remains to be seen. I feel that in the current story he has no place but we may see him in a flashback sometime.

Not sure what is going on in my life right now let alone when I will be able to work on QT. It looks like I will be done with my current training one way or another today. I'm on my final tests and I have an equal chance at passing or failing.

Comic 20101001

Hello October .. with your Halloween and beer fests and quality comics like Caught Up. Roland has 3 different heads in this, but I ran out of time.

I have some serious things going on again this next few day and I'm not promising any updates for a few days.
