A Clockwork Paranoia (my webcomic)

[Hobgoblin]

Oh god thank you gamecreator, I asked everywhere but to no avail, to fix that damn code! Could I unite the "right spoiler code" with LAYF flag? I still don't know how are we gonna do this, but that could be cool, no?
I'll thank both of you in my next blogpost, because you saved me a lot of stress (and because you were the only one to do it).

[gamecreator]

You are welcome. Feel free to ask for whatever else you need, I'm sure one of us will be able to help.

I think you should be able to put LAYF's code anywhere. Also a note about my spoiler in case you have to put raw html in your blog posts: it's sensitive to anything between div and button elements. You may put anything before or after this code, or in the spoiler content section (I'm not familiar with buttons, so won't say anything about what you can and can't put in spoiler title).

[Hobgoblin]

In the next days, I'll be doing some tests with the codes.
And I have a GREAT news (well...it depens on how much you care, but for me is a great news ): today I spoke with Natascia, the artist, and we decided to update twice a month, on the 1st and on the 15th.

New page is up!
I've done a few changes on the blog and implemented a ISSUU widget to better help navigate.
What do you think?

I don't know if it's just because I'm trying to view it via my cell phone, however clicking the Union Flag doesn't take me to the English version, it just loads the flag image in its own window.

Yes, I'm afraid it's a problem with phones, I just tried with mine. I wouldn't know how to change that, but the webcomic is better viewed with a bigger screen anyway. I hope you'll give another try with a pc!

[gamecreator]

I think it's because you have a link inside a button. It creates undefined behaviour. Some browsers go with pressing the button and some go with pressing the link. Remove an <a> tag from inside a <button> tag and it should be fine.

Done! Thanks, I'm changing it in all posts. It slipped me because I put the image inside the spoiler code directly with the Blogspot tool. So now works all right on smartphones?
(with mine works fine)

Yes, it works now. But (sorry for bringing up problems!) I tried to go back and look at page 2 using the "previous page" link and got a Page Not Found error.

Argh, I'll see to it as soon as I can! Now I'm from the phone. I'm such a mess with coding, I'd prefer sticking with scripting the comic. Thank you for pointing it out, much appreciated! Aside from these webpage errors, what do you think of A Clockwork Paranoia till now?

[nikohl]

I think it has promise! I am patiently waiting for some action. That is the only problem with a two-week wait between pages is that I sort of forget what happened and have to go back and check what happened before.

First of all, thanks for the feedback, it's what keep us going and improving.
Twice-monthly is already a stretch as it is, unfortunately. The artist can't manage another schedule for now, but I understand your problem with remembering the previous pages.
As for the action, it depends on what your meaning of the word is. A Clockwork Paranoia hasn't an action pace like Goblins, it attunes more with a Lovecraft story. But yeah, in the next pages there will be some sort of action. Just wait and see.

Link fixed!

Just checked out your comic and enjoyed it. I'm excited to see page 4!

I'm glad you liked it! The 1st of May I'll post the 4th page!

[Hobgoblin]

New page is up! We update slowly, but we always do.

[Hobgoblin]

Been absent for awhile, too many things to do and generally too tired to check on forums that much. But now with summer coming up, I'm back!
NEW PAGE is up and there's some "action", for those who were waiting for it.
I've got a little more money, so I'm in talk with a friend of mine to help me with the blog or with a new site! AND we got invited to a (small) convention here in Italy, to our surprise!
As always, let me know what you think about the comic, what do you expect, what you don't like, etc.
Next page is on the 15th!
(the ISSUU widget on the right works probably only on Chrome recently and I don't know why, so it would be best to use that browser...however, the pdf there is not up to date, last page is missing...for now!)

► Show Spoiler

I haven't been able to check on all the topics in which I was talking with you guys, but I'll catch up!

[Hobgoblin]

For anyone who's still interested, new page is up! Last one before summer break. Sorry for spamming, feel free to tell me to stop if I'm bothering too much!

[gamecreator]

It's nice to get fresh notifications on a seldom updated comic. Even though it has a schedule, it's easy to forget about. Keep up good work.

[SamWiser]

For some reason I thought this webcomic fell apart. Actually I read the first page, then forgot about it.

I'm always interested in how priests are portrayed whenever they come up in fictional works (though they seldom do). Are they good, bad, arrogant, forgiving, so on. It seems like Fr. Brown is trying to do one bad act for the greater good. I can't really judge whether it is worth it until we get more info.

The updates are helpful, especially since it doesn't update frequently. I'm interested to read more after the break.

Thank you very much! I can't wait to start posting pages again (we have a buffer of some months, but it's still very hard on the artist, she has other commissions and she is moving to the USA). I'm very proud of how the next pages turned out, Natascia did an AMAZING job.
I'm also thinking of a Patreon to pay her all I can and have maybe more comics more often.

Aaaaaaaah, how much would I like to answer to your doubts and questions about priests and Father Brown! But I fear I might spoiler the story a bit. All I can say is that priests are, first of all, humans and I try to portray them with that in mind.
BTW, if you guys wanna keep posted about this little project, you could subriscribe from the blog or lile the Facebook page, if you want to. Either way, I'm gonna uptade here with new pages (but not other material like character studies), so it doesn't really matter if you check this board!

[Hobgoblin]

Aaaaand we're back! New page is up. Can't wait to upload the next pages, they'll "blow your mind" [cit.]! Joking aside, things are gonna get more interesting and complicated.
I'm also happy to see that Thunt is back on working! Tomorrow I'll refresh Goblinscomic like crazy to see how the realm is no longer silent.

[gamecreator]

Nice to see you back. This page may be more informative than it appears, I think.

Nice to be finally back! I'm curious, what did you gather from the informations on the last page?
(I won't confirm nor deny any of your guesses, I'd just like to know what readers think so far about the plot )
