It’s not exactly an announcement that will uncurl your pubics, but there’s new stuff afoot!
For the past several months I have been working on improvements to the comic and the site with the goal of making it look better and read better.
Colors – When I originally started TG, I went with grayscale for a lot of it. I eventually figured out that was just as time-consuming, but had the side effect of not being as nice to look at. Now every comic in the archive is now in comparatively glorious full color!
Horizontal Formatting – Every comic in the archive is also now in horizontal comic strip format! Okay, this part probably doesn’t make that much of a difference to you other than a smoother reading experience, but if I ever want to publish a book it’ll be pretty important.
Dialogue Improvements – Many of these are minor – a better joke here and clearer wording there, but I’ve also done a little playing with time scales. The essential story elements are the same, but I’ve made the series less convoluted and problematic overall.
New “Out Of Character” Section – To be honest, there was a lot in the main Archive that didn’t need to be there. The old “Friday Extra” comics have been moved here, along with one-off gags featuring dated movie references, and an early storyline I was never happy with.
Guest Section Update – The Guest Art section was a bit of a chore to read through, so I’ve repackaged it as a set that you can navigate just like the main Archive.
Consider this new version the TG Director’s Cut. With these updates, I really feel like the comic is the strongest it has ever been. Give it another read-through and enjoy!
