Latest changes to http://www.ibiblio.org/Dave/ 2004-06-06: back to normal on the list. Phew! _______________________________________________ 8,9c8,9 < Back on break! For at least a week. And then not on break for < at least another week. --- > For a change there are new Doctor Fun cartoons this week, and > next week. There will be a break June 28th. 44a45,47 > June 14, 2004 - for a change there are new Doctor Fun cartoons > this week, and next week. There will be a break June 28th. > 49,186d51 < June 4, 2004 - there will be a break next week. There will be < some new old cartoons as usual, but they may be not be < uploaded until early in the week. < < May 31, 2004 - Happy Memorial Day. Yes, Doctor Fun is back < this week. And yes, Doctor Fun will be on break next week. And < then Doctor Fun will be back until the next break. The book is < still in the works - really. To keep you interested, here's < the cover (which is not the same as the first cover, when the < book was in tall format). < < May 24, 2004 - As promised, see below, another break for a < week, hopefully no longer than a week. Here's some more old < cartoons. < < May 17, 2004 - It looks likely I'll be taking a short break < next week, but not without uploading some new old stuff, < unlike the last break. < < April 26, 2004 - Getting tired of that logo? I am, but I don't < have a new one ready yet. The book is still in the works, and < there might be another little surprise. < < April 18, 2004 - Good news - the book is going to Plan Nine < tomorrow for a test printing. Bad news - it took longer to put < it together than I expected, so no work was done finishing up < the Peeps special. It will run when it runs. Nobody expects < ... the Peeps Special! In the meantime, regular cartoons < resume. < < April 7, 2004 - Doctor Fun Emergency Break! Peeps Week is < Canceled! Well, sort of. Peeps Week is delayed, ok and the < Doctor Fun studio has "gone dark" this week, to use tv talk. < This is an unplanned break. The next planned break wasn't < supposed to be until June, and a gigantic Peeps Bonus was to < be ready to go by this Sunday. So what's going on? Good < things, actually (no, I'm not having a baby). As you may have < heard, there have been rumors of a Doctor Fun book, and the < rumors are true. Unfortunately, through no particular fault of < anyone, the Doctor Fun book has been drifting about in the < Horse Latitudes for some time. But it's drifting no more, in < fact, there's a bit of a typhoon, and the final, < ready-to-go-to-press version of the book needs to be ready < next week. After all this time, of course the book is all < ready to go, right? Um, sort of. In a better, more organized < world, the book would be ready, but it's not quite there, and < I've got to get it done. Finishing the book does not involve < drawing anything new - just a lot of tedious desktop < publishing-type stuff, but stuff I need to do myself, although < since we changed the format to landscape I will probably draw < a new cover (maybe a bit punchier than the proposed one). So, < that's the way it is. I will finish out the cartoons this < week, but Doctor Fun will be off next week, and the Peeps < Special will run after the book is ready and I can finish it, < hopefully all by the end of next week, if not sooner. < Unfortunately, I don't have a supply of old cartoons on < standby ready to upload for these types of situations, so it's < cold turkey this time around. On the other hand, the world is < crying for a Doctor Fun book, right? Right. And lest you < complain too much, may I remind you that I have a day job. < < And when will the book actually be available? No firm date < yet. Plan Nine Publishing is testing some new equipment and < production methods. I would think if the test is successful, < very soon. < < April 5, 2004 - It's Peeps Week (again) with Doctor Fun! There < will be a bonus (hopefully, again) at the end of the week. < < March 29, 2004 - As I suspected, driving all over the country < last week put me on a short deadline to get the cartoons ready < for next week, so the break continues. But hey, I did put 100 < up this time around. < < March 15, 2004 - There will be a short break next week. < < March 22, 2004 - As promised, Doctor Fun is on break, this < time maybe for a week, or maybe two weeks, depending on my < schedule. In the meantime, I've uploaded not 50, but 100 < newly-scanned cartoons from 1990. < < March 15, 2004 - There will be a short break next week. < < March 8, 2004 < * Today's cartoon about the guppy has been covered before, < but you'll have to find the old one yourself. It was too < late to change it - anyway, it's important to update the < jokes to keep up with emerging penis enlargement < technologies. < * Some things are getting smaller, though. Here's a picture < of my new downsized computer setup. Here's the old setup. < * There will be a short break around the end of March. < < March 1, 2004 - that Valentine's Day sucks. In < non-celebration, I've put together a collection of 50 slightly < raunchy Doctor Fun cartoons from days past. Slightly raunchy < because this is still a PG-13 cartoon - the ibiblio merger < with Vivid Video fell through. There are plenty more - a quick < peek found more than 100 possibilities. Do I have a dirty < mind? Probably not, since it was 100 out of a couple thousand < - only a few know for sure. And finally, If I've accomplished < anything in this life, it's that something actually comes back < if you type "vagina squirrels" into google. < _________________________________________________________ < < February 3, 2004 - Wow - more news already! Thanks to Gary < Marshall of Pacific Internet, there is a new Doctor Fun mirror < in Sydney. < < Also, the new Comics Museum in Groningen, The Netherlands is < putting together an exhibit on net comics that will include < something about Doctor Fun. This is happening sometime in < April. I don't know much more than that. I've offered to come < over (on my dime) and give a talk on Doctor Fun just for fun. < Haven't heard anything back - stay tuned, and let me know if < there is any interest. < < February 2, 2004 - Doctor Fun is back. I apologize for the < lack of old cartoon updates during the break; I had one more < set and didn't have enough time to finish putting it together < and get all the new cartoons ready at the same time. In fact, < I didn't get to quite where I wanted to be, so I may make up < for it by taking a one-week break in March sometime. We'll < see. In the the meantime, the march to 520 weeks continues. < < I still have hopes of seeing at least one Doctor Fun book, but < haven't heard much back from Plan Nine Publishing. In any < event, I plan to have the book assembled by March, and after < that we'll see what happens. I still have all the favorites < and requests you sent in ages ago - thanks for those - keep < sending them if you like. < < For those who are interested in such things, I've switched < production of Doctor Fun and everything else off my Sony VAIO < Pentablet (which developed all sorts of unfixable problems) < and to my laptop (Fujitsu P5010), which is much nicer, < although I'm now drawing on a separate Wacom tablet again. <
