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 –

Wednesday I made a promise that we’d stick with Newton’s artistic longings, so consider today’s comic a minor distraction.
I’m not sure how much I want to go into the issue at hand, for fear of exposing myself. Let me just say that sometimes in life, things happen, and the best way to deal with them is to share them in three panels.

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

Tanya Harding had it wrong you see. You want dat medal? You jus’ wait ’till you see dat medal on dat der podium. Then you take dat shit.
I feel like the homepage preview, our tiny little comic that lets new readers know there is, in fact, more content to their posts, kinda gives this one away. So either look at it, really close, or close your eyes and just start clicking like mad.

I have very little comment on today — outside of pointing out the obvious continuation of last week’s singular comic endeavor and referencing it’s probable Wednesday conclusion.
I’ve had a few local friends asking me where all the comics have been in 2010. They are here, residing in my brain, waiting to be unleashed. If you would like to help those along in their journey, I would wholeheartedly recommend a trip to our fabulous Zazzle store, to show your support in deep, meaningful ways. I would also like to point our our social-sharing functionality, at the top of this post, above the very words you are reading now.
I know many of you already utilize these features to their full extent, and I shall thank you and continue shower you with all the gifts I have to give.
