So how often will you be updating? Just once a week? What about the other comic strips? They haven't been updated in ages.
No pressure of course.... ;o)

Well at the moment it's just once a week, yeah. And as Bob's Your Uncle is the main strip I'm working on the other strips will just update when I have a good idea for a comic that doesn't fit in with BYU... I'm thinking of a slight site re-structure to reflect that... At Top Web Comics they only let you vote for one strip, not a site full of strips and so I figured I would do better by concentrating on one and getting all the votes for that. Am I making sense?  |

You made sense.
It would be very cool if you could have 'email this comic to a friend' feature.
I wonder if its easy to implement....

u know, thats the secret in drawing comics...it comes with imagination in time, and depending on the story it can be colored or not.color gives comic a touch of emotion, but the real deal r the drawings  ps: readin all comics now, they r GREAT |

Mate, your comics are great (which would translate to "Dude, your comics kick ass" for our American friends, I think).

Colur comics are better than Black and white so a colour one or two a week would be fantastic

Just as an experiment, what would Pyrates look like if you just colored the <i>characters</i>, but left the background b&w? Not that your backgrounds wouldn't be great in color (I liked that first panel of strip 2 with the Buckleswash), but it might be quicker than coloring the whole thing, and help distinguish characters from each other. I can almost picture the captain in purple, the mate in blues, and the cook in off-white with red accessories.
(No, I'm not Queer, whatever would make you think that?)

Thanks for the positive comments Loki! Interestingly enough I was considering trying having the characters in colour and the background not. I'll give it a go and see what it looks like. I could do it all in simple colours but no shading. I did a guest strip like that and I thought it looked pretty nice like that so I wouldn't mind trying it out on my own strips. I might try some experiments with colour when it comes to the 7th (ie "Sunday") strip. I like doing the detailed backgrounds but I'm thinking maybe the panels look a bit cluttered? Especially in just black and white. So I might try decorating a bit more sparsely... just a thought.
