Costume Scare
Happy Halloween, dear readers! I guess I decided to make this comic instead of the actual costume. Hopefully that was a wise decision!
Also! Observant readers will probably notice that the site got a slight facelift over the weekend. Actually, it’s mostly the backbone stuff that I’ve upgraded, but I ended up tweaking the looks of the site as well. But I plan to have a proper brander newer swankier design eventually as this one is probably just temporary. Although, I said that about the previous look as well, and I kept that for 2 years…
Anyway, there are now some newish features right from the get-go, for example a properly working “random comic” button (finally!) AND comments threads (also finally!). Oh, and please let me know if you spot any bugs, if the RSS feed is working properly etc. I’ll also be looking into adding more neat stuff over the next few weeks. Happy clicking!
RSS is working. This update showed up for me.
Showed up for me as well, looking good.
Worked for me, too.
same here, RSS works fine.
and the new design looks nice, clean and simple :)
Also new: alt text!
Thanks! I’m so used to it not being there I never check on this site…
Also, look! I’m replying!
Look, ma – we’re threading!
Yeah, alt text is in as well! I figured I shouldn’t really tout it as a new feature since it’s only used on this comic so far, but I plan to add something to the older comics as well. We’ll see!
A healthy fruit is always scary for kids! (even without blades)
Do you celebrate Halloween out in your craaazy country? Do you say “Trick or Treat” or something in craaaazy Norwegian?
We do indeed celebrate Halloween, although it’s only in the past few years it has flourished somewhat. It’s entirely an Americanization, though, which was initially met with some criticism, if I recall correctly. We have a similar thing during Christmas when kids dress up and trail the neighborhood for candy, and apparently some people think that this “American Halloween” thing has been imported on expense of our own traditions.
Oh, and we call it “Knask eller knep!”. (“Knask” = actually a kind of homemade candy, but here it means just “snacks”. Eller = or, and knep = trick.
Oh, he dressed up as my favorite piece of Halloween candy! What a coincident…
