Where did the comics go?

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Don’t worry, the comics are safe.  I have backed-up the entire site, removed everything from the servers, and begun developing the new version of The Nob Mouse Network.  It will be up and running later today, so be sure to check back!

Series One back online

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I’ve rebuilt the site but it still needs redecorating.  That will happen a little later, either later today or over the weekend.  For the moment, there is only Series One accessible but this will change as I upload more comics.  The whole collection will be online by midday.

Series Two and Three online

The entire back catalogue of Nob Mouse comics should now be online for your visual delectation.  I have left them in the same order they were in on the original site, because I find keeping the archives in chronological order generally makes reading the comics easier, and also provides a clear demonstration of the way the comic has developed.  There are a couple of ‘placeholder’ comics missing at the moment, such as the ’snowed under’ comic and the one with Nob Mouse checking my progress during last year’s NaNaWriMo but I don’t think these are too important to the comic and I’ll upload them when I can find them in my backups.

If anything else is missing, I’ll find it and put it back into the comic in the correct place when I can.

I’m eager to hear what comments, if any, people have about the new look for the site.  It should make maintaining the site a lot easier from my point of view but I’m just as eager to make sure it looks and feels okay for you peeps too - after all, the site is here for your entertainment so if it’s not fitting the bill, please tell me!

Comments are open on all News and Commentary posts so feel free to comment away!  You should find it is pretty simple to comment since I’m using a WordPress system to run the site now.  I’ve disabled comments on individual comics but if people would prefer to be able to talk about the comics on the comics themselves, rather than the posts that are associated with them, then please say so and I’ll enable comments on all the comics.

Finally, let me please welcome you all to the new-look Nob Mouse Network.  I hope you like it!

A trip down memory lane, part 1

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I’m doing this more as an experiment than anything else. The idea is to see whether I can run two serials alongside one-another. Although this is a story I want to tell, I was a little wary of doing it now but I think it will work. Anthology comics run multiple stories alongside one another all the time and while the majority don’t have the same characters in them, some do and they seem to work. This should, therefore, work okay.

The idea is to explain a little of the background to The Life of Nob T. Mouse. I think it’s about time people knew a little more about the characters and where they came from. This little trip down Memory Lane, literally, should help with that. I hope you enjoy it.
