A Green Gem

A new year. So many chances to write the year wrong because of habit. Not yet though, so I guess I’m getting the hang of it .

Besides the occasional numeric misspelling, it’s customary to set goals of things to do or change during the year. Yes, new year’s resolutions they are and this year I have only one I want to try my hand at. I shall set it henceforth:

During the course of the year 2009, I resolve to make at least one (1) piece of fan art for every web comic I have made a habit of reading.

Which ones those are? To be true I have very lax order on how I keep my bookmarks. I did at one point make a PHP app. that used a database to store the names, urls, and update schedule of each one. It was a very large list, unwieldy at times. Many of those comics had a sad H for hiatus in their schedule. That usually meant they had died .

I’ll make the list here, and update when I remember another one. I’ll link to the ones alive (open in new window). They all go to the first page if possible.

Make sure you have lots of spare time if you plan on reading the full archives for some of these. Most of them have been around for a long time.
