Many of you if you’re like me remember the days before super fast internet, wireless networks and 4Gig flash drives.

And if you’re too young to remember then you probably think these things have always been around and you don’t remember the “3.5 inch Floppy disc” which could hold like maybe 1 Word document and maybe a picture if you really shrunk it down.
It held just over 1MB of data and was the second incarnation in portable data for the computer.  Before that it was a 5.25-inch floppy that held less data, was about twice the size and was literally floppy, hence the name. 

 
The 3.5-inch floppy USB drive merges a bit of the old with the new and gives feeling of nostalgia for those of us who remember having a box of these when trying to transport large amounts of data from one computer to the other.  This is only a concept, but of all the flash drives we’ve seen in recent years there is no reason why this one shouldn’t get produced as well. However this time around it will be much more useful.

Have you enjoyed the transformer movies? Did you really like the new GI JOE movie too?

Well here’s something you’ll really like! All your favorite 80’s toys made into blockbuster movies.

Today is my Dad’s birthday and I wanted to take the time to wish him well.  Both my parents have been a huge supporting influence for me in my choice to pursue Art as a career, but my father is the one who’s helped me learn all the hard stuff that comes along with the web and business end of my chosen profession.

It may seem glamorous to be a professional artist and in a lot of ways it can be, but often enough I find myself spending more time negotiating fees, balancing the books, budgeting, creating and maintaining a website and just plain tackling the whole web side of things way more than I ever thought I would. Needless to say most artists aren’t good at this stuff and I know several who either choose to work for a group that handles all that or hire people to do it for them. But darn me and my desire to do things myself, makes this job a lot harder and it can be overwhelming at times. Well I’ve come a long way since I decided on the crazy idea of creating a webcomic site and it’s all due in no small part to my Dad.

Early on it was my Dad who helped me organize my business and push me to follow through with getting my website up and running. He spent time learning about the web and what it could offer me as a newcomer. He pushed me to keep going when it was hard and helped me come to understand the parts of the web that just seemed too alien to me (which was pretty much everything at first).

Where my Mom has been the gentle encouragement (and my proof reader) my Dad has been the rock that I knock against to keep me on the right path.

And it’s for this, Dad, I thank you.  For taking the hard job of telling me what I need to hear and helping me do the things I need to in order to be able to work in a career that I love.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Welcome to the new Prologue Comics Site.  I’m very excited to finaly get this up and running.

Took me a while but I finaly finished building the new site myself.  (With a little help and advice from others on the web.)

What does this mean for Prologue you ask?

Well it means I’ll be able to make more improvements to the site over time and start adding a lot of the things I’ve been wanting to for a while.

One thing I hope to do is add more zazz to the site.  Yeah that’s right zazz!  As in dazzle, pop and zing.  Real “Bow Chika” added to the already “Bow Wow.”

English translation?  More graphics like the new banner and buttons I added already.

So keep reading the strip and checking the blog section where I’ll write more about the new features as I go along.

Thanks for reading.
