It is confirmed: Asylum of the Daleks is on Sep 1, BBC 1, 7.20pm - 8.10pm. (And on BBC America: same day, 9pm/8pm Central; in Canada, 9pm Eastern on Space) *Kermit flail* (Has there been any word of when MLP:FiM resumes? I notice, at least according to Wikipedia, that this season will only be 13 episodes, rather than the 26 of before ( Read more... )

I wonder if I can just copy and paste my Current Comics folder ( ... )

Ahh, indeed, there are a few there I'm not familiar with. Yay!

And a few I am, but I've fallen out of touch with temporarily - my RSS reader threw a hissy fit a while back, and I just sort of didn't bother to get it repopulated with feeds. Is Tiny Kitten Teeth still so frustratingly infrequent? Such a wonderfully stylish comic, but with pages only once a month or so, there's not much scope for a sustained narrative.

Zebra Girl I may get back into. I forget why I stopped following, but it was a while ago - it's still running, then?

Endtown I definitely need to get back into. I was derailed when the story came to an end, only for me to discover that the artist had actually been maintaining a separate continuity over on GoComics. Certainly, one of the best furry strips around, even if the artist might dispute it being labeled as such. =:) (Another I'd highlight would be Skin Horse, although that's not especially furry - but very well written, with artwork that always matches the spirit, however insane it gets =:)

Skin Horse not especially furry? But Captain's Fancy Valentine Sweetheart is obviously the main protagonist!

Yeah, TKT is still so frustratingly infrequent ( ... )

I've been keeping up with Friendship is Dragons, myself.

Coo! That current page does look rather good. If it has any kind of regular schedule, I'll be catching up with it fairly soon, I suspect. ^_^

(Agh! What was that Doctor Who/MLP-inspired one I noticed some months ago? It was a dozen or two pages long at that point, with the story developing notably well. Maybe my tagging will save me)

I was tempted to ponder there may be some latent concern over people just printing comics out themselves, rather than buying the real editions, but that'd take a fairly determined skinflint. =:D Myself, I don't buy paper unless necessary (which is rare) - unfortunately, that does mean missing out on a few furry comics entirely, with no digital editions offered. Seems strange to me that businesses choose to leave money on the table, but then again, the media industries are rife with such examples, prominently featuring studios refusing to make downloads available, and even then, seldom with anything but the feature itself, lacking all the discs' extras. (And then the download may be priced either similarly to or more expensive than the discs ( ... )

Hey, what happened to my reply?

I had a long list of webcomics at my old workplace that I didn't manage to take with me :( But I love docrat.au.

And that squirrel shot is AMAZING. (I narrowly avoided running a squirrel over on Sunday as it dithered in the middle of the road.)

porsupah August 22 2012, 23:05:09 UTC

Eep? Strange! I certainly never saw it, and it doesn't seem to be screened.

Ahh, now there's one I do need to add. I'm surprised he's managed to keep it going this long, and from what I understand, it remains fresh.

Hee! Thanks. ^_^ I've got one or two more I might upload, from the stage where they were coming toward me - one just sort of levitating above the ground, face on, and another seeming as if they're standing up in some hulking macho stance. =:D

Has there been any word of when MLP:FiM resumes?

Not as far as I know. Most people seem to think it will be sometime next month, but beyond that I couldn't say. Definitely only 13 episodes, though there are hints that this is for "special reasons". Whether that means a forthcoming movie, something different with S3 (a season-long arc?) or anything else, again I don't know.

Of course, the next question is whether there'll be a season four at any point. I don't know that either. =:P A straw in the wind, though, is that MLP, unlike the majority of Hasbro's "girl-oriented" toy lines, did well commercially last year. You wouldn't think they'd want to give that up...

porsupah August 22 2012, 23:30:33 UTC

I suppose September feels right, as that was last year's starting point - but, presumably there'll be some advance warning, during which The Hub starts wheeling out the party cannon to alert people to the new season. I've no idea how that's run in the past, though - quite likely they'd have some formal press release first, anyway. =:/

Special reasons? Hmm! We can only wonder.. ! Personally, I'd love it to be to make time for everyone involved to get huddled into studios to record commentary tracks.. how much fun would it be to have DVD/BD/iTunes releases of it all, with actor and character commentaries? =:D

I really do hope Hasbro's taking notice. It seems so, given the prominence MLP's taken in some of their general trade show materials.. I suppose large corporations are always ponderous in their deliberations, even when not shackled by multiple layers of bureaucracy ( ... )
