Back in the New Mexican Cottage we have two trophy bucks mounted on the walls in the same fashion as you see in the comic. They have round eyes that pierce your soul and were not very pleasant company after nightfall. They are placed near the entryway, which, as I believe, is to frighten potential intruders. They are the guardians of the cottage, much as Cerberus is the guardian of the gates of hell. Which brings us all the way back to three headed mythical beasts.
Thus ends the Chimera story arc. We’ll start something new next week. I could spoil it for you and tell you now, but that would spoil it for me as well.

I’ve been wanting to practice my art with wolves. It takes me time to correctly draw their legs, and the esoteric aspects of their anatomy remains a mystery to me today. So, I thought I might practice by drawing an animation. I took a clip from a movie on YouTube and traced as many frames as the pause button could reveal.
The animation is barely over a second long, but it does manage to give you the illusion of a wolf running. Now, the wolf was mostly black, and rather blurry, so I made some amateurish mistakes (Namely confusing the front legs). In the video, the wolf was running in the snow, so that led to the legs being cut off from time to time.
It’s not all that good, but it’s also not all that bad for a first try.
Click past the jump to see the animation.
We’re now showing up on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
That means three comics a week, which is a reasonable goal. We might add more in the future, but this is the final schedule for now.
Why not MWF, you ask? Because we’re one day lazier here.
We missed this week with updates to the site, but you can expect regular updates of Baneslinger from now on. We’ll be finishing the Chimera arc starting Tuesday. See you all then.
Baneslinger is one year old today. That’s right, I had to renew the registration and everything.
Well, Congrats to us! We’ve got about 160 comics/sketches in the archives, and I’ll expect to have a lot more when we arrive back here next year.
“Never You Mind” now has a dedicated home. It’s old site is still up for now, but I still wanted some place where it would be kept safe from other people’s servers. It’s got a new site, and the same old attitude.
The comic is what originally introduced the characters of baneslinger to the comic world. If you’re here, you’re probably already familiar with my old comic, so I won’t go into great detail. But I will be updating the site with a new (old) comic everyday. For the comics where I’m missing commentary, I’ll be sure to add some new one to keep the site looking good. I might be able to strong arm Laurie into offering her insight as well.
Currently, the site holds the exclusive “last episode” of Never You Mind’s original run. This was a comic that I created near the end of 2007 that never quite made it to the old site.
The new Never You Mind site currently running on ComicPress 2.8, which is more advanced than the version than what baneslinger is currently running with. It gave me a chance to see the benefits of the advances, and I will now go to work on updating this site as well.
I hope that this gives you a reason to look back and revisit the old comic. Many memories are poured into those big white panels.
Well, with a new year, I thought it might be nice to update the “daily sketch” look. So, with a small bit of consideration, here it is. Not all that exciting, I know, but I think this one template will serve us better into the new year. It would be nice to update the site as well, but I don’t see that happening right now.
I’ve also gotten in the mood for a bit of Baneslinger on the old site again. So, as long as I can manage, new daily baneslinger comics. I know, I’m being silly again. But I’ll really give it the old college try.
