Well it took longer than I thought it would but Kat-Nap.com
Is Back in 2.0 form!!! It's Leaner, Meaner, and missing half
it's stuff (Wait that last one's bad, explain later).
First off the number 24, No I don't mean the number 23.
While working on the newest comic some strange
coincidences around the number 24 happened. First off there
are some jokes in the comic that are inspired by the show 24
that is not so strange. Next after I finished the comic and
was putting it into the site I found out that it is my 24'th
comic that made me laugh. I am 24 Years old and the site
goes online on the 24'th. Strange but nice that I can may
be get some hits because of the timing.
Presonal Blog Rant (you can skip this) :)
So I would guess some of you (the ones who have been to
my site before now) might be wondering why did Kat-Nap
come to a screeching halt back in early 2005 (and for all of
you that are new check the comic archives when there up
to see what I mean). Well a lot of not so pleasant things
happened in 2004 so after one final thing (which I will not
go into) I unknowing went into a little bit of a depression.
Now it wasn't any thing like dropping out all together I
still did some Kat-Nap stuff like make some new comics for
the anime story line (which will be in the first Kat-Nap
Comic Book) I just kinda went into dark and negative haze
inside. Some time later a Nickelodeon cartoon came
out and I freaked out since it seemed very similar to my
comic which I hoped to turn in to a cartoon. So I thought
that I can not compete with Nickelodeon they have staff,
they have money, they have contacts in all media and I am
just one disabled artist who will now be looked at like a
copy cat (unintentional pun) creator of a comic that I have
been working on since middle school. So I really thought
that Kat-Nap was dead, which given where my mind was it
was not good and I hit absolute rock bottom. Well after
some soul searching and the help of my friends and family I
woke up and realized that there is room for two heck look at
Heathcliff and Garfield. I also realized how bad the other
show was and I vowed then and there if I can't be the first
than I will be the best of the two. I also realized that I only
need to impress myself. So my New Comic reflects this
change which is why it is called Death and Rebirth granted
it is a flash back but it uses all that I have learned in
photoshop (thanks Pixel Perfect) and my drawing skills to
set up what will most likely be my largest story yet. Ok
enough of my blogging whining, It's all is better now.
The Site News.
I rebuild the site from the code up, so no more redundant
tables and sloppy code which means it will now longer take
me so long to update my pages. Aside from some wonky
tables every thing is great. Now to the missing bit, well I
was unable to finish some of the pages on time but they will
be up soon.
What's New:
Ok there are some new buttons to the site first is the New
Comic button next to the logo, basically it's just as it
says, it lets you know what is the newest comic along with
it's number and title which are new to my comics. Next are
things like animation and games. Yes there will be flash
animated cartoons and games in the future, In fact I have
an animation I am working on. Also I now I have a Blogg like
section at the top of the news that explains what I am doing
when I am not working on Kat-Nap. It also includes how I
am feeling using my S.O.T.O. Technology. What Is
S.O.T.O.? Well you may notice a strange little onion on my
site, Well that is my S.O.T.O.. S.O.T.O. stands for State Of
The Onion basically it is my emoticon, it shows how I'm
feeling at the update. So Why an onion? Where did the idea
come from? And aren't you just riping off the onion? I will
answer these questions and more in my next update.
Well that is all for now, the order in my personal universe
is restored. SoWelcome to the New and Improved Kat-Nap and
enjoy the first of many new comics to come. Viva Los
Gatos!
Later
