Wow.  Special School got over 50 unique visitors yesterday - and over 120 pageloads!  That is quite startling.

Reasons to see The Amityville Horror, #1

I've just made the next two Special School strips (for those keeping track these are next Tuesday and Friday's strips, meaning I'm now three strips ahead! But it's still only one week, so I'm really just on schedule). I've been working on ways of streamlining the creation process - I won't bore you, but basically my current thing involves keeping a pre-bordered template for the strip and not inking panel borders, dropping the art directly into the template instead. I don't know if this is quicker or not yet, but it does make it easier to fix typos. (Blame my engineer background and intense laziness for all this dull process work. I subscribe to the notion of doing a little work at the beginning to make the rest of the work as painless as possible.)

However, this new thing did turn up an interesting accident. During the process of creation, I pasted the art layer of this strip (next Tuesday's) in front of the panel borders. I'm not sure the effect is one I totally dislike. I'd welcome any opinions, though at this stage it won't affect the actual strip in question (I fixed the layering).
