What’s Going on Here?
Q: What is this?
It’s a webcomic.
Q: When’s it updated?
A: Right now? At least weekly. At the moment (end o’ April, 2013) I’m bogged down with all sorts of job related stuff, so I can’t update as much as I want to. D:
Q: That’s a weird schedule.
A: Yes, but if I get behind then I don’t have to work on my precious precious weekend. Plus, Saturday comics!
Q: “Internet Webcomic?”
A: Isn’t it?
Q: No, really. Why would you give your webcomic such a cliche name?
A: I dunno. I don’t really have any main characters or topics to name my comic after, and I didn’t want to have the “combination-of-random-words” name that so pervades webcomics. “Internet Webcomic” just felt right. Besides, “The Website / Comic Strip on the Internet That, While Occasionally Autobiographical, Generally Covers Topics of Interest to the Creator: Ms. Mary H. Tanner” was too long, and I already had a short-lived “award-winning” webcomic of the same name in 2006, which I’ve rehosted here.
Q: Why didn’t my comment show up?
A: I’m still fine tuning a lot of the site. At the moment comments need to be approved before they’re posted, but once you’ve been approved once you become an approved poster- the spam filter still occasionally holds comments for moderation, for some odd reason. I’m looking into possible options other than that (capachta would be ideal), along with adding user editing permissions.
Q: What if I have more questions?
A: E-mail me and I’ll either answer them or put them up here!

I like the comic.
Good work.
I approve of this comic. Excellent.
I LAUGHED.
I ASSUME THAT MEANS IT’S FUNNY.
GOOD JOB.
More Minecraft and Skyrim minicomics…and maybe some BF3 and Assassins Creed….NOW!
More videogame comics, eh? I have never played Assasin’s Creed or BF3, so don’t get your hopes up there. :D
Don’t worry Skyrim and Minecraft are all you could possibly ever need!
What sort of arcane underpinnings drive your Web comic? I assume it’s something PHPish, which my ISP does not support–boo-hiss!–so I couldn’t even do something basic with it (assuming I could figure out how).
Hey, so I note that your FAQ doesn’t say anything about your process – was wondering how you create the comic itself? Are you a photoshop person, do you scan…?
Just curious ;-)
I always do final lines and tones in photoshop, but my roughs are another matter. Sometimes they’re pencil, sometimes they’re digital, sometimes they aren’t even really comics and I have to force them to behave.
Did you draw this picture (and others from the series):

Shhhhhhh
Is there a name for the kind of shading/coloring you do in the comic. By that I mean that sort of enlarged pixel on the colors…thing. I’m such an art student drop out I can’t even describe specifically what I mean.
I give up. Hopefully, you understand what I mean and can let me know.
If there’s not a name or you don’t know it, then any thing you could tell me about how you do it?
It’s called “halftone”, not sure how it’s done in this particular case, maybe Photoshop has a halftone fill option.
It’s called letratone, or letraset. Sometimes screentone.
I did it by creating a few patterns in photoshop, which I use to pattern fill a layer mask that is applied to a folder. In that folder I have several layers with flat colours, some of which have gradient layer masks.
I have two folders, one for the lighter tone, and one for the medium tone. When they overlap, they create the darker tone. I did this by offsetting one of the tones so that when they overlap they don’t line up exactly.
