Hey everyone sorry for the lack up updates, quite a few things have been happening that have rather distracted the team and production.

First of all, the University Internet at Sunderland as been patchy but this has since improved, prompting planning for episode of the Black Hill Podcast.

Second of all, my grandmother died a fortnight ago, creating quite an upheaval. I’m sure going to miss her.

Third and last of all, I was involved in a car accident on tuesday evening which wrote off my car and left me and my passengers with whiplash and sore heads and the usual glass induced cuts and bruises.

But, we’re all alive and planning on getting the show back on the road as soon as possible, so stand by for further information.

So where have we been? Unfortunately, I have been ill with some evil cold/‘flu/lurgy hybrid and even when I was feeling well enough to podcast the university internet connection would become insanely feeble and I would be left staring in disbelief as something as simple as Google took over a minute to load. Ah well.

But things are looking up now. I have talked with Zach and we may shift recording times so that he’s not missing afternoon time and I have a decent internet connection. I have also just added a new cartoon for in the meantime. Hang in there folks, updates to be announced!

Hey all, just to say that my graphics tablet arrived safely last week and since then I've been doodling with it quite a lot. Head over to Toons to see my latest work!

Sorry but I didn't know this in time to announce it for the podcast, but I have just placed an order for a new graphics tablet to replace the old scanned-in ink and paper cartoon construction method. Its will herald the dawn of a new age of awesomeness!

Nick agrees that this is indeed awesome, and that it is amazing that the computer recognises "awesomeness" as a word.

So yeah, by next week I should have begun on my new epic quest of webcomiccy goodness. All hail Waccom. And Apple of course... And we must all now unite to destroy HP and their damn scanners and rubbish software!

Okay people this was admittedly news a while ago but I've only just got round to posting this up. My scanner is dead; the software refuses point blank to cooperate and the quick fix route (to use software from another manufacturer) has yielded less than satisfactory results. However, this is no cause for alarm, the scanner has done this before and then settled down again. With luck there'll be a repeat incident of this miracle.

If not... well I'm going to get a graphics tablet. It'll make shading and stuff much easier too, which will make comics a lot nicer to look at and look just that little bit more awesome.

Peace out people, and bad Karma to HP. Will.
