   Wow, it actually looks pretty cool. Even though I’m one of them new-fangled webcomickers, I’m still old-fashioned in some ways, and don’t really like all dailies being in color.

   But other than that, this makes for a fun site. I like the “re-write the dialogue” option, though that could be a system for trouble if they don’t have good a moderation plan. And the RingTales animations add another dimension to the strip without the complexity of doing a TV show.

   Danny I agree. I know I joked around alot about the old incarnation of Dilbert.com, but the new interactive format looks great.

   As for the whole color in the dailies debacle, I don’t mind it, but I feel it’s a different discipline in planning your strip. A cartoonist is always concious of how his or her strip flows from frame to frame, and I believe that flow is achieved in different ways when working in black and white vs. color.

   Umm that would be “conscious.” Sorry.

   Lots of flash in the new site. If you’re using flashblock in Firefox you have to look for the right button to click on. It does look more interesting than the old one.

   We launched a poll at Inkswig earlier this week and the desire for people to write their own word balloons is #1 so far: http://tinyurl.com/5wkff9

   Ha! I wouldn’t count on that.
