This is probably my favourite song right now...

Hi all...

I am back home in South Africa for holiday at the moment. I have the script for the new comic but unfortunately not all the equipment to draw it. Technically one should be up by the 30th... but I don't think I will be able to get one up in time. In fact... I might not be able to get one up until after the 19th when I return back to London... I will do my best to get one up as soon as I can ... but no promises...

Hope you all had a good xmas...

Seeing as I don't have the needed equipment to work on a comic I did the next best thing - some work on the site. So... as promised, there is now an RSS feed on the site. I haven't tested it as well as I should, so... if you run into any problems, please let me know. I don't suspect anything should go wrong though.

The next thing you guys asked for is for a commenting system... I will get that up as soon as I can.

Sorry for the late post. I underestimated the time it would take to get the comic done. I am still new to this so I am learning as I go along.

Overall I am not that happy with today's comic and I figured out why just after I uploaded it... I already used the snail approach in a previous comic... and feels like its not new and original.. I am happy with the way the last panel looks though... and I think this snail approach is a lot better than the other one... but anyways... hope you enjoy.

I was told the last panel was a bit too dark on some monitors and that it looked like it was just black... so I have made it a bit lighter.... Hope it is alright now.

Snails are generally hermaphrodites. They don't generally reproduce asexually but I am pretty sure in certain conditions they can and do. Those conditions probably being when snail with a large snail penis.... sigh enough of that....

I picked up Mario Galaxy last night. I told myself I would not open it until I finish the comic. Turns out I have mastered my addiction. So, I hope you enjoyed the comic. I am gonna try get in a bit of Mario play before I have to go to bed for work tomorrow.

I forgot that I wanted to say thanks to Shashi for helping me out with the last script.

The comic is late again... I try to get it up by Friday morning every second week... 2 excuses... 1stly I started late and 2ndly my drawing is not that good yet and am having trouble with consistency and angles and things... I want to get it right... I don't know if you guys care about the details... but in my opinion you should not need to be bothered with them.

Anyways... I wish I could say soon... but I will say... as soon as possible.

Also this is why RSS is needed... I will get that to you guys soon to.. :/

You probably already know that the new comic is up as the comic comes before the post. Meaning... the title of this post is pointless...

oh well...

I will be getting an rss feed up as soon as I can. The feed will be the next bit of functionality I get working. I don't know if there is a definitive way of doing a feed for comic. I am sure there are tools out there for that. I have heard good things about feedburner but have no idea of what it is capable of.... perhaps it is something to look into.

Anyhow... time for bed.

I was meaning to finish the new one tonight and get it up by friday morning but my PC crashed just after I finished inking and stupidly I didn't save. Also after the crash, my tablet does not seem to be picking up any pressure sensitivity. I thought I may have been pressing too hard but I think now it may be the drivers. Hopefully a driver reinstall will fix it. If the lettering comes out weird in the next one, I have not been able to fix it.

If I get a chance to complete it, I will get it up this weekend.

Welcome to www.space-panda.com. This is the first comic of many. This has been a long time coming, I have been meaning to start a comic at least 20 years. I don't know what to say, so I will start off by saying thank you to some people. Firstly to my family especially my mom, my dad and to nathan, my brother.

I want to dedicate my very first strip to sandi whom I always thought of as my sister.

I have to thank my... um... girls, marshini, sarah, ilda, oksana and liesl. Without them I would not have gotten where I am today. Yumna is not mentioned there because if it was not for those 5 I would probably have failed university and be back home in Port Elizabeth right now. However yumna's role was no less important so thank you to her too.

I would also like to thank my family in london, the individuals over at The Mind Gym. An amazing bunch of people, both together and individually. And lastly I would like to thank those who are an inspiration to me. Firstly gabe and tycho over at penny arcade, even though gabe will probably never read this :). Seondly scott ramsoomair over at vgcats.

And lastly the guys doing the podcast at halfpixel including scott kurtz over at pvponline.

To finish off I would just like to say...

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay.

I also want to thank my friends....

They are just as important and invaluable... thank you all.
