I've been lurking for awhile. Black Knight put me on to this site when I became a Beta tester for his great Comic Reef program. (Was that enough of a plug Jeff?). I write and draw Magical Misfits at http://magicalmisfits.net (http://magicalmisfits.net). I also have a mirror at http://drunkduck.com/magical_misfits/ (http://drunkduck.com/magical_misfits/). I am always trying to push the envalope with my art and try new things. I am an idiot as far as page design and I lean heavely on my friend Xade to keep me from having no site at all.
I keep body and soul together as a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Coast Guard I am 54 years old (I know right?) and I live in Alaska with my wife and Daughter. I have a son living in Arizona. Mother Coast Guard will soon be moving us to San Diego where I will be stationed on one of the Cutters there. I imagine updates will be a little sparse once I get aboard. We will have to see. One day the Coast Guard is going to realize how old I am pat me on the back present me with a shadow box and send me off to the old sailors home. I intend to hit ground running as far as my comic is concerned and see if I can move forward and maybe even put out a book or two. Anyway Hi.
Good to see you finally made it here!
On the plus side San Diego puts you near Comicon. Welcome to the community :)
On the downside even if the ship isn't underway when Comiccon comes, I have heard that it is already sold out! Maybe I can get tickets for 2011.
Ron! *pounce*
Welcome Ron. Glad you have you aboard (oh lordy did I just say that?).
Anyway. Always happy to welcome another military member. Make yourself at home. ;)
I know this is a terrible reason not to read something, but I was always a bit intimidated by magical misfits enormous archive.
It felt like a big commitment to get into it!

No I understand that but up dating everyday for two years and three times a week for two more will tend to stack up some strips. Once my new site is finished a http://magicalmisfits.net I will have a synopis of the story so that readers need not wade through a thousand strips. I'm glad that's your biggest complaint. I consider it a compliment!
The thing that saves me, in terms of my archive being intimidating, is that I have the story set up in clearly marked chapters (http://picturesofyou.smackjeeves.com/comics/116849/1-01-a-step-out-of-the-wilderness-1/) and books (http://picturesofyou.smackjeeves.com/comics/110870/1-0-pictures-of-you-cover/), and the archive page (http://picturesofyou.smackjeeves.com/archive/) itself is sectioned that way. It gives new readers natural stopping points when they don't feel like reading for 6 hours straight. This might be more difficult to do with a strip, but if you could figure out a way to section it more, it might help.
Hello.
