Killer cartoon. Yet to get through all episodes.It's a class act so far. (via coolios & flash)

I got frustrated... get to points where I can't find what I have to click on to make it advance. Flash navigation at its worst.

Damn... nice.

To be fair, I should say that aside from the usability issues the comic is fantastic.

Excellent so far. Aaorn, you can click just about everywhere - just move your mouse around till you've got a 'hand' rather than the arrow (I'm sure tech savvies can explain it better than me).

OK, I'm an idiot. Hadn't gotten far enough to where the clicking wasn't immediately obvious.

*hangs head in shame*

I haven't been to the page, but you might want to try hitting tab. I know it works for discovering easter eggs in Homestar Runner.

Tab works.

Didn't know about tab.

Must go back over Homestar Runner.com to see what I've missed.

Oh wow! Very spiffy! That couch alone in Episode 1? Perfect. Visual, auditory, verbal goodness. I'm going to try to make it last...ha. Thanks johnny7.

Aaaah - where's book 2???
posted by widdershins at 1:19 PM on August 20, 2003

So will episode 1, book 2 come out in 2 weeks or is this it? Anyone know when this started?

must...know...what happens...
posted by widdershins at 1:31 PM on August 20, 2003

Gah! I had forgotten about this - I can't believe book 2 still isn't up!

[this is good]

This is the type of thing that Flash was made to do.

Wow. Now *that* is digital art.

Excellent. I have to warn people, though, not to hit "Back" unless you want to exit the episode entirely; I did it thinking it would take me back to the previous panel and had to sit there grumpily clicking from the beginning till I was back at the one I'd gotten to before.

Really lovely. Thanks!

It was gorgeous, but the UI pissed me off. I don't want to have to work for a storyline.

Awesome. Reminiscient of the supurb flash-animation of Broken Saints.

The main web site refers to it as a 12-episode series. This is possibly all that we get. Has anybody read the original graphic novel?
posted by Hildago at 8:30 AM on August 21, 2003

Has anyone else noticed that the English-language version of Episode 11 is not available yet, but 12 is?
