Wow…
July 17, 2007Wow. I continue to amazed by the glowing reviews that I keep coming across for our little strip here. The latest kind words are from a gentleman with the net handle of “Movies At Midnight” over at the the mighty Geeks of Doom site.
The comparison he makes between the exploits of Ben and the gang to one of the most influential and beloved comic strips of all time is very humbling, indeed. I’m not naive enough to think that Boxcar will ever reach those heights. We’ve only just begun and we’ve got a long way to go, but it’s nice to know that our work is striking a similar chord with some individuals out there. Thank you Mr. “Movies”, we’ll do our best to keep producing a quality webcomic!
In other news, Marc and I have been ramping up the promotional efforts to get the strip noticed and generate more traffic for the website. You can now find listings for Boxcar Astronaut at Piperka, the Belfry Index, and The Webcomics Super 100 List. You also may have seen some Project Wonderful banner and button ads on Buzzcomix.Net, Gone With The Blastwave, and Diesel Sweeties. Lastly, as a sweet incentive to get you guys voting for our strip at the ranking sites, Marc’s whipped up a super-cool Boxcar Astronaut Desktop wallpaper that you can download by voting for us at Top Webcomics. Spiffy-Keen, aint it?
It is my pleasure to give such a glowing review of Boxcar. You guys deserve it and I wish the very best for Ben!
