I'm getting strong batman vibes from the comic so far.

Hello, Euan. Good to see Turnus is carrying on.
I appreciate you notifying us but since you don't spend any time here these days you're just ADVERTISING! ADVERTISING! LIKE A BOT!

Whee.
Good luck with it, and have fun :). I'll be keeping an eye on where the plot goes.

Sup made me do it! :eek:
Also, buy new Worm Mad approved toe warmers*! Coming soon to a supermarket near you. They're toe-tinglingly great!

Now seems like a good time to bring up my new grill, for no reason! With it's patented design, the fat drains directly into my mouth!

Yes.
In episode S02E08 "Raging Bender", I recall that he's saying that (or something very similar). :D

Today's page being late is my fault.:p
Also pages 18 - 20 were drawn by hand, rather than digitally, I'm not sure wether to continue in this fashion or go back to using my tablet.
Some feedback from whoever actually checks Turnus would be just super.

Personally? I'm inclined to go for the tablet. It's a cleaner look with a more varied line width which I quite like. Your hand-drawn stuff looks good too, though. That's worth mentioning.

Xinos

You should go with whatever method feels more comfortable. To be honest I didn't see that much of a difference between the last pages and the earlier ones. The handdrawn looked a little swooshier and not as strict. (I'm guessing you drew them much faster?)
But really, it's your choice, both are good!

Pigbuster

They both look pretty similar, but I'd say to go with the tablet. It's a little cleaner. It's pretty much your decision, though. They're really similar (and we only have one hand-drawn comic to look at, anyway).
Also, the comic needs page numbers. I had to go to the archives and see that there were 18 total comics to figure out that the most recent one was hand-drawn. There's seriously no page numbers anywhere, which is weird and makes it impossible to refer to a specific one of them.
I could view the image address to see the number but... I shouldn't have to do that.
Not even the archive uses numbers, though it uses transcripts, which is handy.
Also, clicking on the "Vault" link in the main site should go to the archive list, rather than the search. Or both of them combined on one page, if possible. The giant "TURNUS" logo in the archive should link back to the comic, not right back to the archive.
Hopefully OhNoRobot makes that possible.
...yeah, most of my criticism was of the web design. :p

The hand drawn comics are a lot more time consuming than the digital ones.
as everyone here seems to prefer the digital ones, or not really have an opinion I guess I'll revert to using my tablet.
Thanks all.

Actually, there are three. I can see how you got confused, as I used a brush for pages 18 & 19 and pens for page 20, so they look pretty different. Also the archives page search function only counts the 18 pages that have been transcribed.

I could view the image address to see the number but... I shouldn't have to do that.The thing is that there's nothing to identify the comics (aside from the date), the page-numbered filenames are purely coincidental, they could be anything, plus the strips are hard to title themselves. Either way K^2's script doesn't support comic titles and I'm not hacking away at his code again. :p
Not even the archive uses numbers, though it uses transcripts, which is handy.I think we can give titles to the comics in OhNoRobot though, so I'll check with Mad if he can do something about it.

Hopefully OhNoRobot makes that possible.We couldn't decide whether to link to the Search or the Archive so I'll change to the Archive. There is no combined page nor any way to change how the logo works, I'm afraid, though I've forwarded your requests to OhNoRobot.
...yeah, most of my criticism was of the web design. :pThank gawd, I was thinking nobody paid attention to it. :p

The simplest solution is to write the page numbers on the comic pages. I'll do that in the future. I'm not sure how much trouble it would be to re-upload the existing pagesm with numbers.
To keep things simple I name all the pages 'Page-*' so if it's a problem for anyone right now you could always check the filename.
Now that I've actually looked at the archives, it would look loads better if the links were titled properly.

I'll check with Mad if he can do something about it.
And this was what... nearly a week ago?
Nobody tells me anything. :p
EDIT: So, yeah. I'll title all the comics but I'm warning you - the titles will be in PUN format.
EDIT 2: And done!

Those are some pretty awesome puns.
Any thoughts from you guys about the newer pages?
How's the font?
is the lack of shading noticeable?
