Way to go, Chef Troy!

Some of y’all might not be aware of this, but our very own Chef Troy has a very funny webcomic called Scandal Sheet.

Just last week, he entered into a competition against other web comics at buzzComix

In just one week he has reached the number three spot in the competition!

Everyone congratulate him!

I’ve cast my daily votes for ya, Cheffie - I really enjoy the strip. I’d enjoy it more if it ran 5 days instead of 3, but what’cha gonna do?

Keep up the good work!

I’ve been casting my votes for Cheffie and I’ve been pimping the comic out to all my friends. All you Scandal Sheet fans need to vote, but I also say recommend the comic to at least one other person. Got to get that readership up so he can make it big, earn lots of money, and we can say we remember him when…

Besides, maybe he’ll spend some of his future earnings on all his SDMB friends. :wink:

Thank you, all. I’ve been amazed and gratified by the way “Scandal Sheet!” has climbed the charts over at BuzzComix - either I have more fans than I thought, or Grace has been going into the computer lab and going from one computer to the next, voting.

Fairychatmom, the whole issue of how often to update is a constant gnawing dilemma for me. I’d love to update every day (or at least M-F as you suggest) - it hasn’t escaped my notice that almost all of my favorites are daily comics. It would by definition increase my site’s pageviews by 40 percent or more, it would hasten the day when I could start thinking about approaching Plan Nine Publishing about doing a book, and most importantly of all, it would be a lot easier to keep a storyline moving along.

On the other hand, I kind of like being married.

(Okay, Mrs. Chef probably wouldn’t leave me if I went to a daily update schedule, but she would resent it - I’m already stretched pretty thin, which is a neat trick for a fat guy.)

Aw, c’mon, Chef - how much sleep do you really need? Yeah, yeah, whatever…

:smiley:

Yay Cheffie!!!
I usually check Scandal Sheet once a week because I like being able to read more than one page at a time.
Sometimes it’s hard to hold off that long.
You are going a great job with this and I’m so proud of you!
Oh, and IM me when you see me online next. I have another short yet unfinished story to share with you.
You know, I let one guy at work read it and now he can’t even look at me without blushing?

Ooooo! I hadn’t even thought of that. Unfortunately for you, my laziness prevents me from walking down the hall to cast multiple votes.

I doubt it would work anyway - unless each computer had a unique IP address, the voting software would only allow one vote from all of them.

In addition to which, it would be, y’know, like, wrong and stuff.

Hmmm… I guess I shouldn’t mention that one of the things I do for a living is write code to fool servers into thinking a single machine is actually thousands of individual machines. Sometimes with unique IP addresses…

Nope, that would be wrong.

Good comic though. Makes me want to see the script for “Thightanic”

“I’ll never let go. Never let go!”

Enjoy,

It’s an awesome comic! I read the whole thing from start to finish last night.

Awe. Some!

I’ve been trying to get through them for the last day or so. Very funny. But some of them seem to be missing. The August 26 02 was one of them.

Ooooh, man. That’s one ugly baby. Bow, or no.

Darn it. There are four places where this is a problem - three in August and one at the end of December. The good news is that the breaks don’t represent comics that have gone missing, but days where I didn’t update the comic on schedule and posted a drawing of myself with a message explaining why instead.

I later went back in and removed those messages and I thought I fixed the code, but I forgot that there are two sets of navigation buttons on every page and only fixed the upper ones. I’m going to fix them as soon as I get a chance, but in the meantime you can use the upper buttons to navigate past the break. Thanks for pointing out the problem!

Whew! Good thing I didn’t draw it while looking at my OWN baby.
