< June 4, 2004 - there will be a break next week. There will be
< some new old cartoons as usual, but they may be not be
< uploaded until early in the week.
<
< May 31, 2004 - Happy Memorial Day. Yes, Doctor Fun is back
< this week. And yes, Doctor Fun will be on break next week. And
< then Doctor Fun will be back until the next break. The book is
< still in the works - really. To keep you interested, here's
< the cover (which is not the same as the first cover, when the
< book was in tall format).
<
< May 24, 2004 - As promised, see below, another break for a
< week, hopefully no longer than a week. Here's some more old
< cartoons.
<
< May 17, 2004 - It looks likely I'll be taking a short break
< next week, but not without uploading some new old stuff,
< unlike the last break.
<
< April 26, 2004 - Getting tired of that logo? I am, but I don't
< have a new one ready yet. The book is still in the works, and
< there might be another little surprise.
<
< April 18, 2004 - Good news - the book is going to Plan Nine
< tomorrow for a test printing. Bad news - it took longer to put
< it together than I expected, so no work was done finishing up
< the Peeps special. It will run when it runs. Nobody expects
< ... the Peeps Special! In the meantime, regular cartoons
< resume.
<
< April 7, 2004 - Doctor Fun Emergency Break! Peeps Week is
< Canceled! Well, sort of. Peeps Week is delayed, ok and the
< Doctor Fun studio has "gone dark" this week, to use tv talk.
< This is an unplanned break. The next planned break wasn't
< supposed to be until June, and a gigantic Peeps Bonus was to
< be ready to go by this Sunday. So what's going on? Good
< things, actually (no, I'm not having a baby). As you may have
< heard, there have been rumors of a Doctor Fun book, and the
< rumors are true. Unfortunately, through no particular fault of
< anyone, the Doctor Fun book has been drifting about in the
< Horse Latitudes for some time. But it's drifting no more, in
< fact, there's a bit of a typhoon, and the final,
< ready-to-go-to-press version of the book needs to be ready
< next week. After all this time, of course the book is all
< ready to go, right? Um, sort of. In a better, more organized
< world, the book would be ready, but it's not quite there, and
< I've got to get it done. Finishing the book does not involve
< drawing anything new - just a lot of tedious desktop
< publishing-type stuff, but stuff I need to do myself, although
< since we changed the format to landscape I will probably draw
< a new cover (maybe a bit punchier than the proposed one). So,
< that's the way it is. I will finish out the cartoons this
< week, but Doctor Fun will be off next week, and the Peeps
< Special will run after the book is ready and I can finish it,
< hopefully all by the end of next week, if not sooner.
< Unfortunately, I don't have a supply of old cartoons on
< standby ready to upload for these types of situations, so it's
< cold turkey this time around. On the other hand, the world is
< crying for a Doctor Fun book, right? Right. And lest you
< complain too much, may I remind you that I have a day job.
<
< And when will the book actually be available? No firm date
< yet. Plan Nine Publishing is testing some new equipment and
< production methods. I would think if the test is successful,
< very soon.
<
< April 5, 2004 - It's Peeps Week (again) with Doctor Fun! There
< will be a bonus (hopefully, again) at the end of the week.
<
< March 29, 2004 - As I suspected, driving all over the country
< last week put me on a short deadline to get the cartoons ready
< for next week, so the break continues. But hey, I did put 100
< up this time around.
<
< March 15, 2004 - There will be a short break next week.
<
< March 22, 2004 - As promised, Doctor Fun is on break, this
< time maybe for a week, or maybe two weeks, depending on my
< schedule. In the meantime, I've uploaded not 50, but 100
< newly-scanned cartoons from 1990.
<
< March 15, 2004 - There will be a short break next week.
<
< March 8, 2004
< * Today's cartoon about the guppy has been covered before,
< but you'll have to find the old one yourself. It was too
< late to change it - anyway, it's important to update the
< jokes to keep up with emerging penis enlargement
< technologies.
< * Some things are getting smaller, though. Here's a picture
< of my new downsized computer setup. Here's the old setup.
< * There will be a short break around the end of March.
<
< March 1, 2004 - that Valentine's Day sucks. In
< non-celebration, I've put together a collection of 50 slightly
< raunchy Doctor Fun cartoons from days past. Slightly raunchy
< because this is still a PG-13 cartoon - the ibiblio merger
< with Vivid Video fell through. There are plenty more - a quick
< peek found more than 100 possibilities. Do I have a dirty
< mind? Probably not, since it was 100 out of a couple thousand
< - only a few know for sure. And finally, If I've accomplished
< anything in this life, it's that something actually comes back
< if you type "vagina squirrels" into google.
< _________________________________________________________
<
< February 3, 2004 - Wow - more news already! Thanks to Gary
< Marshall of Pacific Internet, there is a new Doctor Fun mirror
< in Sydney.
<
< Also, the new Comics Museum in Groningen, The Netherlands is
< putting together an exhibit on net comics that will include
< something about Doctor Fun. This is happening sometime in
< April. I don't know much more than that. I've offered to come
< over (on my dime) and give a talk on Doctor Fun just for fun.
< Haven't heard anything back - stay tuned, and let me know if
< there is any interest.
<
< February 2, 2004 - Doctor Fun is back. I apologize for the
< lack of old cartoon updates during the break; I had one more
< set and didn't have enough time to finish putting it together
< and get all the new cartoons ready at the same time. In fact,
< I didn't get to quite where I wanted to be, so I may make up
< for it by taking a one-week break in March sometime. We'll
< see. In the the meantime, the march to 520 weeks continues.
<
< I still have hopes of seeing at least one Doctor Fun book, but
< haven't heard much back from Plan Nine Publishing. In any
< event, I plan to have the book assembled by March, and after
< that we'll see what happens. I still have all the favorites
< and requests you sent in ages ago - thanks for those - keep
< sending them if you like.
<
< For those who are interested in such things, I've switched
< production of Doctor Fun and everything else off my Sony VAIO
< Pentablet (which developed all sorts of unfixable problems)
< and to my laptop (Fujitsu P5010), which is much nicer,
< although I'm now drawing on a separate Wacom tablet again.
