Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM)

As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

So when's the black theme coming back??
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

"Should"
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM)

That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. *Now* we should be back for good, though.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM)

Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM)

Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@  Misk : (23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM)

No, they do not.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM)

The goggles do nothing?
@  Misk : (22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM)

My eyes.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM)

Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM)

Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM)

It looked like a napkin
@  ILOVEVHS : (21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM)

Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM)

As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM)

No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM)

Maybe he did that himself
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM)

Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM)

Finally!
@  RedMenace : (21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM)

Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

I suppose this is the comic strip equivalent of when a post-retirement Johnny Carson briefly appeared on David Letterman. Read here and the following two strips. Then read Stephan Pastis's blog entry about it.

It's all kinda surreal. I wouldn't expect Pearls of all strips to be Bill's cup of tea (it can be pretty funny, but it's definitely lacking in the art department). But I guess it happened regardless. Who'da thunk it?

Why not Calvin & Hobbes


Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

Well, there's no way Watterson would ever do a Calvin & Hobbes crossover, for the same reason he doesn't allow merchandise. And it wouldn't have been practical to bring back the whole series for just three strips. :P

THIS.

KICKS.

ASS.

Pearls is my favorite comic strip other than Bloom County, and Calvin and Hobbes is easily in my top 5.
I didn't even recognize the art at first, but the news was mind-blowing.

I didn't even realize it was him until now....it's amazing to see that he still has what it takes to be a cartoonist

That explains the last strip that came out today.  It was practically a shout out to the final C&S strip!

I'd never heard of, much less read, Pearls Before Swine before looking at this, but that was pretty interesting. Much as I love Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes remains far and away my favorite comic strip. It's one of those wonderful works that is instantly immensely appealing as a child, yet only gets better as one ages.

That was hilarious! Especially the one with the Martian invasion.

Talk about nostalgic...

No Calvin & Hobbes

 

0/10

 

Wake me up when its a Calvin & Hobbes one


Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

This is cool news. It would've been cool to see Calvin and Hobbes return, even if Calvin became an eccentric father while Hobbes has his own cubs...as awkward as that sounds. But still, it is some pretty interesting news! Quite awesome!!
