Bug Martini

So one thing that’s been bugging me for a while now is my rather sparse menu bar. I decided to add “expand menu bar” to my list of goals for March (the other goal is to start selling prints and original artwork).

One thing I’m planning on adding to the menu bar is an “about” tab. It’ll bring a drop-down menu of three other tabs: “about the cartoonist”, “about the strip” and “about the process”. I’m excited to create these new pages but just haven’t found the time to work on them. I’m in the process of creating a buffer so that oughta buy me some time. I’ll also be adding a “store” tab to the menu someday (once I figure out how to open an online store and have merchandise to sell).

Is there anything else you guys would like to see in the menu bar?

I’m not a web designer.

But I have friends that helped me out in that department. One of those friends is my roommate, Kelly. I doubt this site would even exist if not for her help. I’ve depended on her countless times to make even the smallest change to my website. Now, I’d like to return the favor.

Kelly is participating in a race that’s raising money for the American Cancer Society called DetermiNation (you can find out about here). She needs to raise at least $500 to register in the race. I’d like to see if we can raise that much for her and more.

I have a link in the left sidebar that takes you directly to her donation web page. Please take a moment and donate whatever you can. If you ever wanted to donate a few bucks to me, donate it here instead. I still have a lot of modifications I’d like to make to Bug’s website and I figure that this will persuade her to continue helping me.

And make sure to mention my webcomic in the “personal note” section so she knows how you got to her donation page.

Thanks!

A new review of my comic strip is online. It’s on a site called Coyote Trax that reviews webcomics. You can find it here.

I’m really blown away from all the positive feedback I’ve received in the past month. I just want to say thank you to all you guys out there. It really means a lot to me.

‘Course, the problem with all this is that I’m not done with the website design quite yet and new people keep showing up. I’ve compared the situation I’m in to having a dinner party. Imagine that your house is a disaster and suddenly tons of people start showing up early for the party. Right now I’m scrambling, trying to “pretty-up” my site for the new guests.

I’ve decided, in the interest of speed, to just pay someone to design my site for me. I’ve already drawn up the blueprint but lemme know if there’s something specific you guys would like (or not like) to see.
