Welcome back to 36 Point! This is my first post using Movable Type 5, which we installed over the weekend. I’d like to say it has gone off swimmingly, but as with most beta software it done broke a lot of the crazy stuff we’d programmed into the site. In fact, there are probably going to be a lot of bugs here and there over the next few weeks as we add new features and build up the new site. For instance, right now I’m having an awful lot of trouble categorizing this post as a comic, which will of course prevent the comic from being seen at all. I guess you’ll know how that turned out by the time you’re reading this.
That being said, the sketching that appears on this strip is most definitely not the fault of MT5. When I return to my place of origin I promise I’ll get you a clean strip.
I was going to use this space to critique the new AIGA Design Jobs/Behance website experience, the confusingly URL’d portfolios.aiga.org but that subject has become …robust, as it were. Probably going to pull out of comic-blogging mode and do some straight-up design writing on that subject. Watch out for that this week, after I’ve had time to test and use a few more features.
‘Till then, keep that creativity up! Peace –

Happy Wednesday. We’ll be spending a little bit of time with Newton’s previous hair-heavy state (also seen here) for the next few days, or until I run out of jokes, whichever comes first.
News of note: 36 Point is going comic-only for a few weeks here while we re-tool the site. We’re looking into a lot of what Movable Type 4 offers and seeing what makes sense and what we think you guys would like to use around here (aside from timely comics, drew). I’m picturing an atom-bomb of total awesomeness that will probably amount to a water-balloon of “pretty-good” when it’s all said and done, but regardless, we’ll give it our best, promise.
fancy wednesdays
Thanks to everyone who’s been commenting and sending nice things about the strips lately. I thought Conad’s been getting a lot of the limelight that past few weeks here, so I’m switching it up for a few strips. College is back in session, so maybe portfolio reviews are just where my head’s at these days.
I tried, valiantly, to watch Batman, Mask of the Phantasm the other night on NetfliXbox, as it was Donovan’s assertion that it was the one 90′s-era Batman movie to top Batman Returns, but alas, no, that movie is not better better than Batman Returns. Maybe it was when you were 12, and I have a huge amount of respect for that animated show and everything it did, but no. And, again, this is for the third spot on the overall Batman list. My next fact-finding mission will be the 60′s Adam-West historical epic. Mostly I’m just happy to incite random conversations about things. There’s a part of me that wants to do it again, right now…
Ahh, maybe I’l wait until Friday.
