Update?
Well, my harddrive just crashed.
Fortunately, I had everything backed up...
Except X11, which I need to use Inkscape on my laptop.
I won't be able to work on anything until I get it downloaded again, which might take a while.

*grumbles*
Ok, so it turns out not everything was backed up. I lost some of #8, and all of #9 and my work on #10. I also probably lost a couple of templates (namely, Aias and Aias ). I still have the script for #s 10 & 11, and I'll download #9 so I can get the table back.
Regardless, this will take a while.

2 things, Festy: One. I'm sorry to hear it crashed I like the Silliad.

Two. I can't get X11 to work on my Mac... Can you explain it please?

Huh. Well, I don't actually use X11, it's just the basis for using Inkscape.
If you want to know how to download it... well, I can only help if you have a laptop. Leopard comes pre-installed w/ X11, Panther gets it downloaded off the internet, and Tiger has to download it from the extra CDs that you get with the laptop.
If I've totally missed what you were trying to say... then I'm not surprised.

I'm heading off to an Apple store sometime tomorrow, where I can get X11 fixed. After that, I need to finish my belated guestcomic for Failing Saves, and then I need to replace the templates for all the guys sitting around the table. After that, I can finally get back to work on the comic. I friggin' hate harddrive crashes.

And yup. Phase is the editor.

More like "Experiencing technical difficulties". They've been out for almost a fortnight and I've certainly seen much worse around here and beyond.

Happy, happy, happy!
I should have X11 up and running by this afternoon, or possibly tomorrow morning!
And if not, I just ordered a tablet PC (late b-day present to me)!
Happy, happy, happy!
The Silliad is back!

Yes, yes. I know. It's taken forever.
You guys probably thought this was dead.

But you were wrong!
The Silliad is officially back in business!

Poor Athena, though she's talking to Hera so I kinda pity her for taking the fork-tongued queen of the Greek gods seriously.

Another thing... isn't Athena the GRAY-eyed goddess of wisdom? So shouldn't she have gray eyes instead of purple ones?

Otherwise, sweet comic!
