I really wish I had the energy and drive to write and draw a webcomic regularly. I’ve had three attempts at it in the past and they end very much the same way; something like work or school or some such gets me all distracted and I stop updating. I think I can be fairly funny in a webcomic, although I care very little for my art. It’s just one of those mediums that I really wish I was capable of doing regularly. Sadly, experience has taught me that this is not the case.

The GF has known me for quite some time and has seen each of my comics come and go. I mentioned the flawed and long gone “C316″ comic from my high school days and mentioned that I’d lost all the files for it, lamenting that I’d at least like to have them. She informed me that the website could still be reached now and again and when I tried, it worked. So now I have all of my first comic on my hard drive. It’s a little comforting. I had a hard drive snafu kill almost all my written word from before 2003 so it was nice to regain some of that material.

The vector art is atrocious, universally horrible. The dialog is somewhat shabby and the subject matter was such that I’m almost certain it was impenetrable to anyone who hadn’t been an Academic Decathlete. Still, it was kinda cool to run through it again.

I’m fairly certain that I can’t even get into the “In The Shadow Of…” admin site anymore, and even less sure I could upload them via the FTP app. I would be nice to have C316, Monkeez, and In The Shadow Of… all together, especially because the first and last share characters. Oh well, there is much to lament and little time to lament it in.
