Blog Posts

Hey ho everyone!  Have some news you can use on this page if you choose.  Just letting you know about a major/minor update to this website.

I’m trying out a new comment system for the website.  If you wish, you can continue to post as you’ve always had as a guest with just any old user name.  Or you can sign in through a few different ways for easy commenting and what not.  Yet the best feature I find is stackable comments, so now I can reply to comments instead of one for all.  I might be tweaking it here and there, because there’s always tweaking to be tweaked.  Be sure to let me know if you have any comments on the … comments.

The other update has actually been up for a while but I’m talking about it now.  If you look to your right when reading a comic between the “current stuff” and calendar you’ll see three options -

Bookmark - your browsers saves the comic you’re currently on
Return - automatically jump back to that comment
Clear - blows up your internet so it forgets where that save was

Should be handy for those thousands of comics you can go through!  Now to think up more crazy things for the site.  Waffle recipes?

Site’s been going for a while and I think it’s going pretty well. Still a few bugs to work out, and some designing to be designed, but so far so good. I’m really hoping by the end of the new month the site will be ready to go full extreme into getting many more fantastic readers like you. And you too. Of course, this begs the question that’s been bugging me – what do I advertise more? “Phil Likes Tacos” has the quantity but “Uh-oh it’s a Dinosaur” has the quality. “95 Gallons” is a nice little bonus.

Speaking of which, I’ve changed up the art style a little on “Phil Likes Tacos”.  Is it noticeable?  Is it sloppy?  Did it makes all your dreams come true?  Is a week of comics about watermelon weird?  What a puzzler.

If you’re reading this on the front page, then that means it’s on the front page and I know what I’m doing.

But just in case, be sure to let me know if something seems off and in need of fixing.  Speaking of fixing, I have adjusted the comic sites above so they’re almost just like the original ones.  I’ve made a few redirects as well so you don’t have to adjust your bookmarks if you don’t want to.

Also, PLT is slowly making its way over in the move.  Bare in mind that it’s close to three-thousand comics, so I think I’m starting to overwork the system a little.  But I’ll get it worked out soon.  PLT is still viewable on my other website too.

Well bring out the cake and have punch for all, today my first webcomic Phil Likes Tacos turns eight years old.  It’s been a lot of work to make so many comics for so long, and … what’s that?  You say the first comic was posted on May 23rd 2002?  Well true, it may say that on THIS site, but it’s not.  For some reason the first comic won’t show up if I set it to May 22nd.  And yes, I’ve tried many things but couldn’t get that working either.

Anyway, enough of that jibber jabber.

Honestly, I’ve been so focused on my “It’s a Dino” comic that I don’t know what to say here.  I’m glad that I’m still producing comics for something I just threw out there in my spare time.  And as far as I can tell they’re still just as good.  I know I’ve gotten better at spelling, the characters are drawn better and have developed.  I’ve even been trying some different things out this year, what with Phil having work problems and Doug going on his trip.  Maybe big changes are on the way, maybe things will always be the same.  Maybe I need another site redesign so I can get those next/previous buttons going the right way.

I see no reason to stop making this comic either. Some nights I just want to go to bed after working on my other comic all day.  Kyra does have far more readers then Phil.  But you know what?  PLT has fans and I’m one of them.  It’s so fun and simple I hope I can keep it up for a long time.  This September will bring us our 3000th strip which is big.  And it’s only two more years for this comic to make a decade.  There’s not too many webcomics that last this long.  But as long as you’re enjoying it as much as I am it’s worth it.

Plus I HAVE to keep making fun of those darn customers and bad employees.  I mean, they really have it coming.  Won’t you continue to join me in my mockery of them?  Awesome.
