WTG, Epo.

Eff all the haters itt. Whining like they didn't get their money's worth. Lol that the guys giving you website design advice obviously didn't read your blog. Ignore em, keep it all your own, as you stated.

Ffs, put a Paypal "Donate" button on. Some folks might feel appreciatve enough to drop off a bit, and help support your gambling addiction. A nickel here a dime there, next thing you know, you've got enough for buy-in at the Borg. I wanted to throw you a bone during TGOOP1 when you were accepting PS and FTP bucks, but I get paranoid about the Doomswich.

I busted a gut a few times going through the content. Those classic comics are creepy good. You totally caught the writing style of the original comic authors.

As for the Mucking Aces strips, the buzzard railbird hovering over Ivey needs more love.

Thanks, bh. Very nice of you to say. Maybe I'll throw a Paypal link on there for those that want to support continued strips.

I was wondering if anyone saw the bird. It was actually a reference to doublejoker's thread where he asks what he should do about all the vultures.

I will probably try to refine the look of the website, but only with stuff I can implement myself. I looked at various templates, and I just don't think they fit for me.

Next strip will be published on Saturday. Mostly done already, but I'm out of town for a few days.

Pretty cute, but you better siphon off as much money as possible before Ivey sues.

I'm not afraid of Ivey.

Your site reminds me of the internet in 1995

Wordpress type sites are also well integrated with google search and all the popular social media sites.

You all had very nice things to say, but I just kept the website comments for these quotes, which I also appreciated.

As bh pointed out, I wanted to have a homemade web site rather than something canned, but I also don't like having a site that a lot of people don't like, so I upgraded my web skills to be more in line with this century, and I totally remodeled it. So I don't think it's stuck in the '90s anymore, but it's still something I put together. Hope you like it better.

There's a blog post about that and more importantly (at least to me) another one about my pending decision to possibly play poker full time. If anyone reads the post and wants to tell me how stupid I am or anything like that, please do. As far as how it affects my comic and movie parody stuff, we'll have to see (also discussed in the blog post).

Is the X-ray vision "you'd do it if you could" meant to insinuate anything in terms of poker?

Not in the way you might think. He can look through the cards, but he would just see the felt.

Just found this thread and checked out your site and alot of your stuff. Your site looks new and improved from what the previous posters had said about it, good work on doing it yourself.

You have awesome creativity. I fully enjoyed the past 2 hours looking at your stuff. Cheers.

Also, a previous poster mentioned having a regular day that you post...I agree. Even if you post other stuff randomly on different days you could still create a new Sunday "flagship" comic every week, call it "The Sunday ( insert word here )".

Then whatever other creative genius you have posted throughout the week could be appreciated too when people check into your site that day because they KNOW there will be new content.

Some weeks could be a one block, others a regular strip or a photoshop. I think it would help draw alot more traffic to your site knowing that on a certain day there would be new content.

Keep up the good work dude.
