Still busily adding more comics to the new archives. In addition, I decided to do something that’s, frankly, completely insane, and dug through all the Wayback Machine archival data I could to include old news posts with the appropriate comics! It’s pretty ridiculous, I know, especially since I also edited a shitload of included hyperlinks to remove the Wayback prefixes. Don’t worry about me too much though. If you KNOW you’re crazy, you’re not actually crazy. Crazy people think they’re sane.

Since the archives are somewhat spotty and intermittent in many places, and since I’ve only been adding the comics with included news posts for the most part today, the new archives have a lot of holes in them. I’ll fill them in once I’ve finished the news post-included episodes. As I always say, stay tuned for that!

Update! I’ve put up WordPress versions of all the until-now missing pages, so Zelda Comic is now running at something resembling original capacity! Bonus, FAQ, Links and Contact are now available for the perusing at the top of every page. You’re welcome.

Welcome one and… well, just the one that’s left probably. I’m working on rebuilding the site with the help of WordPress and ComicPress, since my recent move to a new server resulted in my antiquated comic archive biting the dust. ComicPress makes for a wonderful archive system and will help future updates be a simple breeze instead of the pain-in-the-ass manual HTML edit nightmare the old one was, but I have to manually tweak all the existing archives to be ComicPress-friendly. Its own special pain in the ass, perhaps, but it’ll make things a lot nicer in the future. Hooray for the future! It may be awhile before I get all the old comics in place, but rest assured when I tell you this is a priority high on my list at the mo’.

Gotta get a bunch of Christmas shopping done tomorrow, and then there’s the Christmas thing itself, but I intend to make another comic soon after that. With this fancy ComicPress dealie no less! So hooray for that.

Good job, crazy Zelda gamers! The Four48 team completed their marathon with four hours to spare! Not only that, but they exceeded their goals and earned $2,240 for Child’s Play! Congratulations to everyone at cameron banga dot com and Mario Marathon for this amazing feat. They’re playing through Master Quest during the last few minutes, so feel free to stop by their site and let them know how awesome they are. The answer: fairly awesome? You can still donate too, so do that now!

Damn, I sleep for a few hours and they’re up to $1300! The Mario Marathon people completed all three classic Zelda titles with time to spare and have thrown in a bonus playthrough of The Minish Cap. The Four48 team starts with the 3D games tonight. I probably won’t be able to check in while at work, but anyone who can should stay tuned!

I meant to mention this sooner, but better late than never, right? Right???? The insane folks at cameron banga dot com have decided to once again tackle a console Zelda marathon for charity! To make things even more awesome than last time, they’re teaming up with insane comrades at Mario Marathon in order to cover the 2D titles as well! As I type this, they’re working their way through A Link to the Past and have already raised over $1000 for Child’s Play! Their goal is to get all the way through by Sunday night, so I hope you’ll all stop by and cheer them on. And if you’ve got any money to spare, Child’s Play is a wonderful charity that I’ve wholeheartedly endorsed for years now, so try and throw whatever you can their way.

I’m gonna head off to bed for now, but make sure you stop by their sites, and let ‘em know Zelda Comic sent ya!
