So I head out looking for Joy’s necklace when I see him…Winchester! The ol’ caveman is at the scene where the piano fell. I wonder if he knows what happened?
Good morning…
Hey folks! Hope you’re having a great start to the week! Me? Oh thanks for asking – I’m a little under the weather, but that won’t stop me from getting to a couple of housekeeping notes…
I didn’t get a chance to mention yesterday, but there’s been a few minor tweaks to the site. If you want to follow me on twitter, there’s a little birdy just below the comic strip. I’m not saying I’m the most verbose, witty or clever, but I do post little reminders about the strip. Even I forget to check out some of my favorite webcomics from time to time so it’s always handy when I see a link and I can just click on it and catch up.
The big difference – and I haven’t seen this anywhere else so I’m a little proud I came up with it on my own* – is I’m testing a new feature where Rick explains the comic. The images are temporarily is lost on email subscribers – but they still get the comments. So until I fix that, hopefully they’ll forgive me. For example, you can see Rick is talking about when he ran into Winchester. I added this so people who get the feed on FB or other RSS feeders without the image of the comic, they’ll have an idea of what the strip is about for each day. I’ll also throw in some backstory and other tidbits that may help uncover some of the overall storyline.
Also, I was glad to see my man RAlonzo wearing his RTS exclusive “I’m just not into ewe” T-shirt today. It looked good on the big guy and he’s promised a picture of him and his girlfriend who got the “Ooh Poo!” shirt. I’m also sending one out to our other preeminent poster Todd who helped get my Great Grandfather listed on Wikipedia.
So how do you get your hands on some sweet swag that let’s you dress up your torso? Click here my friends!
Finally, I asked for feedback from my cohorts of the WebComicPlanet Collective and one of the first items that came back regarding my ad banners was awesome. The feedback caused me to have a “DUH!” moment. I’d like your thoughts so here’s the banner followed by a poll. If you wouldn’t mind just hitting up what you think or comment below, I’d appreciate it.

Rick seems more mediocrity about him in the strip than in the description of the script
Ah yes, the assassin Winchester is on the trail. I like the description of the strip by Rick, it does lose the image in email but the jist of it comes across great.
I think the Banner is great, really brings across some of the many faces of Rick. Love the inclusion of his struggle with finding his hair, those new readers wondering about the banners characters need to dig in the archives and read dates: 01/09 – Present (Around the end of March first of April Rick loses his hair *Important*)
The look of the banner is rather polished. It’s a still image yet there’s an energy to it. I agree with RockingKT above in that the mediocrity is about Rick and not really the strip itself.
Rocking/Rob – good point!
Todd – WOW!
