5.06.01 : Well, as you can see I'm still kind of learning to draw stuff and, as such, you're going to see some fluctuation of styles in the weeks to come. Hopefully, I'll find my groove and be able to offer a higher quality product in the future. (In the meantime, it gives me an excuse to buy cool stuff from Hobby Lobby ... experimentation and all that).

5.05.01 (later in the day) : Good show today, but I sure wish it wasn't so early in the morning! I was in the station by 5:30, Kurt with me. Ah, there's nothing like waking up with Disney music in the morning!

Ok, ok, I'll get to the real reason for the update. Kurt and I made up a 'comic of the month' award. Each month, we'll review comics and choose one that we think deserves this award. You can find this award on the front page every month. ^_^

Also, check the links. I've added a few more comics and updated the URL to 'Strange Candy'. :)

05.05.01 : All roighty, now that we've gotten the schedule straightened out...we're in business, roight? Roight. Well, yes I know Kerry doesn't look the same from the first comic into the third. As Kurt said in the 'about' section, this is an experiment. I have a *very* hard time making my characters look the same, so you may see Kerry go through a variety of artistic phases. Needless to say, this might cause confusion, but I'll do my best to make it as obvious as possible who she and the other characters are. Maybe my art will improve to the point that all the characters will look the same. *G* ^_^

Lessee...ah yes. Don't use Mead paper. It sucks. Never again will I steal my boyfriend's paper to draw on. I much prefer Strathmore. Not only is it easier to draw on, but it scans MUCH nicer than Mead! Yeah, it's a bit more expensive, but I think it's worth it. *sigh* Well, I did the best I could. I guess I didn't really *steal* Kurt's paper since he *did* buy it for the comic and I *am* his girlfriend. What's his is mine and what's mine is mine right? Well, he'll argue with you about this, but we females know better, roight? Roight! :-D Now I know that some of you may be wondering why the heck I don't ink my drawings. To put it bluntly, I like the penciled look. It just fits better with my style of drawing than inking. Perhaps I'll grow in that aspect as well. We'll see, but for now, all my drawings will be done in pencil.

Don't forget to visit the forum! We LOVE to have people posting there! Thanks to Dave of Todd And Penguin and Caleb of Zap Jones for welcoming us and being the first two people to post in the forum! Thank you both SOOOO much! *Shniffles* It means so much to us! No, seriously...it DOES!

Ok, that's enough ranting tonight. I've got a radio show to do in the morning. Yep, that's right, a radio show, at 6am on the morrow! If anyone is in the Bryan/College Station, Texas area and is going to happen to be up during that hour, check out 89.1 FM for 'The Music Behind The Magic'. I'll be hosting it and my beloved beau (that's Kurt by the way) helps behind the scenes. Maybe one day I'll actually get him to talk. *G* It's on every week, so if you're passing through, listen in!

Ok, seriously...I'm going...bed...yes...REALLY!

05.04.01 : Apologies gentle readers. As Amanda and I are still getting a feel for what we're capable of, today's scheduled comic will be up tomorrow. And, as of now, the update days are being changes from Fridays and Sundays to Saturdays and Sundays. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

In the meantime, Amanda has updated her links, so if you've got time to kill, feel free to peruse her large pile of accumulated linkage. -Kurt

05.01.01 : Yep, still working on the site. Kurt's gotten the forum up, so if you're interested, feel free to post there. He's currently working on links, and, of course, the news is up. I added my part to the 'about' page and soon we'll be getting together the 'cast' page. We're going to do our best to shoot for updating twice a week. We're looking at doing updates on Fridays (for my drawings) and Sundays (for Kurt's drawings). Our styles are quite different (he's better) {editor's note: no he isn't} so you'll be able to tell whose is whose. :) Anyway, the plot will be thickening. I've decided to do my portions more like a graphic novel. I guess it comes from having written this as a story rather than just an outline; there's just too much detail I want to put into it and my drawing just isn't good enough to convey everything. Perhaps I'll improve on this as I go along.

I'm also thinking of starting a 'comic of the week' or 'comic of the month' area where I'll feature a comic that I particularly like for the month. Maybe, if I get my butt in gear, I'll even make this an award. I'll have to do some more thinking. ^_^ Please feel free to post any comments you have on the forum! We do like feedback....most of the time. ;-) - Amanda

4-28-01 : Still putting the site together. No news to speak of as of yet. Stay posted though. Info and updates will be posted here - Kurt
