Yowsa! There are 22,211 people who can actually say "I was there from DAY ONE!" That goes beyond all of our wildest expectations, at least for our first day. People are saying this may possibly be the biggest launch in webcomics history. Webcomics history isn't very long, and webcomic stats aren't generally public or recorded quite as well as, say, those of the movie or TV industry... but still. Yowsa!
The fan mail that poured into my mailbox in gigantic virtual bags was much appreciated, and all has been forwarded onto artist Owen. I've taken the E-Mail contact option off the homepage for now until I get a SORE THUMBS E-Mail address set up that can auto-forward your mail to both of us. For now you can post your mail to us in the forum, I guarantee you we'll read it. (Shout out to all the crazy people in the forum!)
Since Owen's awesome artwork is obviously the main factor driving initial traffic to SORE THUMBS, I'm going to do my best to not screw up a good thing, and shall try hard to write the strip good instead of bad. If you're not convinced the writing is good yet, stick with it, it gets a lot better. (We're about a month ahead of schedule.)
And don't be scared off by the political elements of the strip, either. Not only will the writing be so character-based that you shouldn't even have to care about politics or anything else to enjoy it, but I guarantee you the viewpoints expressed in the strip will be virtually Fair and Balanced (and I don't say that ironically), in the long run if not immediately. Yes, I am an anti-Bush liberal independent. I'm also pro-torture for violent criminals and would probably have voted for John McCain over Al Gore in 2000 if given the option. I understand and appreciate many conservative viewpoints and will work them into the story whenever possible.
On a completely different note: link buttons and wallpaper!
See you Friday! *
