I don't know, do you believe in Murphy's Laws?
That if anything can go wrong, it will?

I might. I think if anything can go wrong it more than likely will.

But now I am committed to whatever may come of it.

Come to that, why don't you update?

It's funny how you people who actually have chance to became popular, skip to update and stuff...

(For some reason, my internet still works, so I'm gonna squeeze every last post out of it that I can!!! Unfortunately, even though I planned to actually update the comic next week, that probably won't happen..curses...)

There is a very simple, clear reason for my often-lack of updates.

LAZINESS. I'm such a friggin' procrastinator.

I had this HUGE project in freshman year which spanned the whole year, and ended on the last day..... I did the whole visual the night before at 3 am.

Thank you for thinking that my comic could become popular, though .^_^.
Who are you calling a super-small bean you need a magnifying glass to see?!!!

This would be so much better if I updated it....which I did....but then I stopped again!

How long does it take for this thing to add you to the list? I signed up a couple days ago and it still hasn't.

Curse not being able to update...

Next year, next year I'll have lots of updates and be current when x-mas comes around.

the rules wrote:You must be updating, or otherwise not on hiatus or dead, and plan to continue updating during the Secret Santa timespan. If you're not currently doing a comic, but you have in the past, please don't submit your comic. It's not fair for the rest of us.
Actually, I fail to understand how it is not fair for the rest of people. :-?
Could someone explain?

I assume it's because of the unique visitors and somesuch.
But in that case he could as well demand you have at least 100 visitors a day or other somesuch. :-?

"1.Scan in high res 2.tweak with curves,levels or something to clean up the scan (or use channel mixer to remove blue pencil lines) 3.Add colour using a layer set to multiply. 4.Add wordbubbles and text as vector shapes. 5. Merge all layers. 6.resize to the web size. 7. Export/Save for Web" that's all I know about webcomicking.

Maybe they think that promoting dead comics is not fair to the ones that are alive and updating?

Or you could explain the science of the comic you get assigned. It'd be interesting to see ABOL explain unreal science.

It's because if you aren't currently updating your webcomic, how can anyone be sure that you're going to be truly willing or even still able to put in the energy necessary to make something for the exchange? There was a lot of trouble with people not putting in their submissions and just dropping off the face of the 'net last year, and much of it came from people who's comics were dead, on super-long hiatus, and/or extremely new.

How can anyone be sure you will be able to put in the energy necessary to make something for exchange when you're busy updating your own comic? Huh?

But okay, I'm beginning to see the reasons.
