Current music:Some hobo launching fireworks from his shopping cart a block away.

Cats (and Bees) are Go!



We launched our @Tavicat comic site, and thanks to all of you who helped.

We shall endeavor to be entertaining: http://www.tavicat.com

The RSS doesn't seem to be working. I'll have to poke around with it. Or stare at it and cry.

It's twice a week, so the next strip will be up Thursday morning.

Woo!

Any preference for how we describe the comic on http://belfrycomics.net/ ? At the moment I've put in "Cat and bee based, sometimes surrealist comedy, from Rikki Simons and Tavisha Wolfgarth-Simon. Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays."

Oh. Um, having six of those RSS reader scripts running on the page is slowing it down a whole lot. I've had a few people say they can't get the page at all.

Yeah, I think it's the Twitter RSS that's really giving it trouble. I'll have to fiddle.

Yeah, it's taken me all day of clicking through, and I've seen the first eight comics only so far. :(

Sorry about that. It was an experiment. I'll have those pulled down when I update the comic after midnight. That should get it up to proper speed.

like it a lot - but did you mean to release the first 11 comics all at once?

Yes, we wanted to get people into the feel of it quickly.

That's generally how I'd recommend people launch web-comics. Launch with a set of comics that people can read, while still maintaining a large buffer of comics to release for a month in advance.

Pretty much the worst way to launch a web-comic is launch with one comic, and no buffer, and then have something happen that prevents you updating. This leaves your site up there with only one comic for ages, and people will file it in the 'instant burnout' pile.
