Another guest comic from Ataraxia Theatre and Systemic Joseph. Thanks!

I’m out of town through June 9th, and thanks to Twitter have guest comics to help keep you all occupied! Hope you enjoy them, and expect a fresh new comic as well as a big 500th surprise upon my return after June 10th. Also, all new HilariAwesome.com orders will not ship out until my return, be aware if you’re planning on ordering. See you all soon! -Rosscott

 

Systemic Joseph (or @Pyrrho12) put together 3 (yes, THREE!) guest comics for my trip. His stuff can be found at http://ataraxiatheatre.com/ and in fact SHOULD be found there. In addition, he gave a little feedback on my web design for webcomics post:

On a completely unrelated point, I thought you might be interested to know that here in Korea most webcomics use a different navigation system than we do in the West. The comics are typically laid out as long vertical strips, so you can scroll through an entire chapter with just one click. There tend to be very few horizontal divisions. At the bottom of the chapter there’ll be a navigation menu where you can jump to the next chapter, previous chapter, or other related comics.

You can see some examples here:

UPDATE: if you aren’t seeing the comic, I’m working on a fix even here from Wales where I’m staying. I can’t garuantee when it’ll be fixed but I’m aware and working on it. Fixed!

If you aren’t reading @danteshepherd’s Surviving the World, you should be. I got a chance to meet Dante at JohnCon this year, and found out that he’s a really awesome guy! Gave a great talk on the future of comics, which was part of what inspired my tirade on web design, so thanks for that. Also, due to his nature of actually standing IN his comics, he is probably the most recognizable face in all of webcomics. Thanks again, Dante, I owe you one!

Systemic Corey (@CozworthGrind) heard my plea for a guest comic, and was the first to leap to respond. Considering this week’s rapture, his is up first. Thanks, Corey! Btw, his comic can be found at http://www.grind-comic.com/.

If you, whether you have a webcomic or not, would ever like to do a guest comic, I’m always up for seeing what you have. I make NO GARUANTEES about it being posted, but I’m always listening. Just send it to systemcomic at gmail.

I was going for a kind of “Ouroboros of inboxes” vibe with that third panel. Pretty happy with it actually!

For those feeling like they can relate, check out this other comic I did about Sisyphus. Or, for that matter, this one on THE EMAIL PROCESS. What can I say, I have an Existentialist streak in me sometimes, though lately I’m thinking Stoicism is more my jazz. Funny since I don’t know how many Stoics would really go to a Coltrane show…

So in other news, I’m going out of town! For the next two weeks, I will be out of the country visiting the UK. While I’m not going to any sort of desolate lands (except Wales) you can expect little to no interaction from me in the meantime. That doesn’t mean the site won’t be updating, as some very kind people have provided guest comics via a last-minute plea on The Twitters. I hope you enjoy them, but if you do or don’t, you can expect more comics from Rosscott as well as the epic 500th comic upon my return on June 9th (though per our update schedule, June 10th).

And while this might not be clear, ALL HILARIAWESOME.COM ORDERS BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE 9th WILL NOT SHIP OR BE PROCESSED UNTIL MY RETURN. Feel free to order, but be aware that I can’t ship things while I’m gone, and this is, for the moment, a one-man operation.
