Err, about time.

It's been a while since I did a post. It's the no news is good news scenario, fortunately.
We havent missed a comic yet, thanks to our enormous archive of backup up comics.

Hooray! Made it to 2010, and the comic is going well!

Added bonus of coming here today: My newest recipe.

Filed under "Thing I Made All By Myself With No Help From Anyone (Especially Jacob)"

Broccoli, banana and peanut butter smoothie.

-1/2 cup steamed, unseasoned broccoli
-1 not-super-big banana (medium/small?)
-1 tsp peanut butter
-skimmed milk

Drop everything else in the blender, add enough milk to almost cover the other ingredients, and blend till you're happy. Drink.

Cheers!

And we're finally up!

It turns out, starting a new restaurant, and being in med school are very time consuming. So much so that we didnt really get much work done on the site till a few weeks ago when Brian came down to visit the island.

But now ready!

bscomics.com is fully operational, and we've put up the first few comics. Expect updates every Monday and Thursday, with occasional updates in between. I'll post a little blurb here when we put something up.

Hooray!

Well, good news! My restaurant now has an official name!

The Lunch House (www.thelunchhouse.com)

The website isn't up as of this moment, because of DNS propagation (it strikes again!), but it should be up super soon. For now, you can see it directly at the host if you want.

In other, more relevant news, we got some good comics done this weekend! Our art had improved somewhat over the last couple of months, and things are pretty consistent looking now.

Back to drawing

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back to drawing! Did a new comic today, and revised an old one. 

I just realized I never put up the banner for the site... anywhere. So, here!

 

Things are coming along. I got my official business name for my restaurant today; I'm going to buy the domain name for the website for that tomorrow, so I'll talk more about it then.

Bwahahahaha.

I also learned today that I'm not very nice. Maybe I should try to be less angry-looking.

OMG, it's back

The internettubes... they're reconnected at my house. Sorry I may sound kind of meh, but I'm kind of in a meh mood. 

We got some good comics done even when I was offline, so things are still going well in that department. I still miss Christy a lot, so that department is right where it was, except we're a little closer to when we can be together again.

Restaurant is coming along: it's nicely painted, and I'm getting equipment and things in, and sourcing potential employees. Oh, and I decided to take a real commercial cooking course, starting February.

Here's those videos I promised. Enjoy some time lapse goodness (x3) from my window!

P.s. You should listen to this song :) --> http://www.deezer.com/track/2745929

Not what I promised

Well, I didn't get internet back yet, kind of. I have this wireless 3G card that is metered, but I couldn't wait anymore to update, so here I am! I managed to get some good comics done over the last couple of days in between doing restaurant stuff. That's coming along nicely, albeit stressfully-ish.

Also I made a couple new bean sprouter prototypes that are working like magic. Mnnn, bean sprouts. Still producing less than I care to eat... for now.

I saw the Hitman movie today on HBO. While it certainly appealed to my action film strings, it's nothing like how I had hoped it would be when I first heard of it. I was hoping to almost never actually see him in the movie. Just see glimpses of him from the viewpoint of an investigation, and then at the end, maybe have the investigator see him from the back as he's leaving a scene.

They really ought to have cast David Bateson as 47, if not Jason Statham.

There was some nudity though (Olga Kurylenko, who was in James Bond: Quantum of Solace), so all was not lost. I am male after all.

Creative differences

Brian and I differ in opinion on more than the colour scheme. We tend to come up with ideas together, and often flesh them out together, but we sometimes have very different "visions" for how a strip will turn out.

As a result, we're going to do something we havent seen too often (or ever) online... concurrently running, but different comics. It'll be the same scenario, just our different takes. We're also hoping to eventually have online voting for "Faceoff! Comics" where, Brian and I will be working separately, and see what each of us comes up with.

We're rather excited about the concept, actually.

Though you probably shouldnt be. The reason we make a fairly-ok team is, admittedly, fully 35% of my jokes arent funny; and Brian is somewhat.. well... different. Together we come up with much better stuff. Maybe we'll make a comic about it ;)

An update... maybe

Is it fair to say this is an update? Seeing as it's the first post on a new blog, it's semi-controversial for me.

I decided to start writing here because hosting the blog at bscomics.com was beginning to be a kind of a pain in the butt. Admittedly, this is mostly due to my lack of programming finesse. Perhaps someday, when I have more time to devote to the website I'll find motivation to work on that.

Anyway, we purchased the domain for the new website, and set up a teaser/placeholder page. And then switched hosts, a couple of times (we're now at 110mb.com , and it seems to be pretty cool so far). It turns out DNS propagation takes... a while. For those of us who thought things happened on the internet immediately, or at least quickly, it was a shock.

Brian doesnt really like my choice of colour schemes, so we're going to be doing a major overhaul before we launch next year. We want to have quite a few comics on hand before we start really posting, so we never have any time where we dont have a comic because we were too busy.

Thanks again for all the support so far!
