Comics. Comics comics comics. I have a dilemma. I have the bug to write and draw a webcomic again. The problem is that I stopped doing the last one because life was just too action-packed to be able to draw a comic on a regular basis and if I start to slip and say "oh, it'll update when it updates" then it'll just never get done.I also am a little annoyed at myself because I have broken a promise from my last comic.

I've had the same web site for a long time now. I've been hughesd since working for Mastercare (hughesd was my computer login username). It has to be said I've got a bit bored of it. I thought it would be an easy website or email address to tell people, but over the last few years I've got fed up of having to spell it out to people or explain that it's "last name plus first initial".co.uk. So I'm thinking of rebranding. That will mean a change of ... Read More
