I was going to write a lengthy and in-depth post-mortem on the first phase of dinerdate, but frankly I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say. So maybe another time. What I will say is that I have re-aquainted myself with my old tablet, that I handed down to my dad (who uses it quite a [...]

It’ll be a while before you see a new comic up here, because my tablet broke and the retailer is being a dick about replacing it, so it might take a while before I get it back and plough through the 30+ scripts for new comics. So hang in there.

I wanted to give the old Dinerdate a proper sendoff, so I decided to add some art to the last comic. I thought the guys walking into the dark forest, never to be seen again, was a nice metaphor. If you’re wondering how the storyline would have progressed, I might share it with you some [...]

Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on other sideprojects, and Dinerdate has suffered a bit because of it, mostly the update schedule. So I’m putting it on a temporary hiatus of sorts, maybe I’ll still update once a week, but I need to focus on two other big comic projects that I have [...]

Hey there dinerdaters! The online video service Ustream has been catching on like wildfire in the webcomics community recently, so I’ve decided to try my hand at streaming the creation of my comic aswell. If you’re interested in watching me draw Dinerdate or whatever else I’m working on at the time, you can look me [...]

Networking and building a readership is something I’ve been getting more concerned with in the last few years. Now that the content is there it’s time to stimulate interaction. I’ve been working my way through HTMW, and so far I hadn’t really read anything too new (just a lot of confirmation that I’ve been doing [...]

Got my signed copy of How to Make Webcomics today! Found a nice package from Texas on the mat when I came home. Also included Kris’ fun little meme indie comic. This is all about how to take your webcomic to the next level, so I can’t wait to start reading! Looks really good so [...]

I’ve been poking around the site design a bit to fix some things that have been laying around. The text colors are a bit softer and I finally tweaked the comments to my liking. That alternating background color was just silly. I’m basically in the process of making everything a little more shiny. And as [...]

I won’t lie, I’m in a bit of a rut in regards to enthusiasm about dinerdate (or TMC for that matter). Not the plot or the premise or anything, just the motions involved in of getting my ideas up here. Inking and up, basically. So there will probably be a few more sketch editions. But [...]

It’s easy to get into a rut. I actually avoid doing one-shot gags nowadays because I find it a lot easier to write from inside a storyline — where the topic is self-propelling and I don’t need to come up with a new scenario each day. -Kris Straub I totally agree.
