We haven't updated you on what's going on in a while. There's one week left of uni, it's going to be an ugly cram but after that I'm in holidays and can look to resuming work on the comic. Naturally there are other things to get done over the break (like launching my personal website which I'll be sure to link on here) so there won't be a multiple pages a week avalanche of production, but http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/11/soon.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Luke)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-2133515027475968173Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:46:00 +00002008-09-20T23:55:19.121+10:00Aloha. Around this time last year comic updates began to flop a lot, that was due to large study and workloads that didn't leave us with enough time to update reasonably. Things are admittedly going to be very similar this year, without the flop part hopefully. Both Robert and I are determined not to let updates slip as horribly as they have in the past but the reality is that we simply don't http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/09/status.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Luke)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-5264430299910284495Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:14:00 +00002008-09-09T21:22:49.671+10:00So yeah. We're going to be late again. It's my fault, this time (mostly): I've fallen behind with the scripts. There are reasons, but you don't care about them, and they don't qualify as valid excuses. If all goes according to plan, the delay won't be long. Please direct all hate mail to the McCain/Palin campaign.http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/09/late-again.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-1486347731511552147Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:38:00 +00002008-09-01T22:41:16.239+10:00Fresh page!

I'm not entirely sure for how long but it should be a tomorrow or monday post. Things will get back on track soon enough. Uni just has very little give this semester.

The next page will regrettably be delayed. Since receiving the scripts about two weeks ago this afternoon has been the first space of time not consumed by fast banking-up uni work I've had. It'll update either tomorrow or Saturday I imagine (Friday is deathcab!!) .

Well mostly. It has a cover/title page at any rate. PS the button above says it's page 33. this is a brazen faced lie. The current page is number 35.

We only recently decided to break the story up into episodes, which I'm using as an excuse (Excuse for what? Well. I'm not sure, but I have the strong impression I need one). The plan is that over the next 10 day cycle we will post two new pages, the first being kind of a recap of what has transpired thus far, the second being http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/07/end-of-episode-one.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-1997082728019740889Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:16:00 +00002008-07-24T16:15:30.833+10:00site designAs some of the more observant among you may have noticed, we have just rebuilt the 'la Vie de la Mort' website. Luke and I are moderately proud of our efforts here, but we can only be really proud once we know it's working for as many people as possible. We've tried to make it functional across a range of aspect ratios, internet browsers and operating systems, but we're new at this.

This, if all goes according to plan, is the penultimate page of la Vie de la Mort Episode One. The difference between Episodes One and Two is fairly arbitrary at this point - there will be no break in production (though there may be an extra page thrown in at some point shortly), rest assured.

We are in the midst of attempting a car chase in comic form. The comic, as a means of presenting a car chase, is a slightly less... visceral medium than, say, film.
