I played drums in school, and I actually did this once while replacing a snare. That thing flew right toward the brass section. Those of you who have experience with drums may wonder how the heck I managed to do that. All I can say is it's a special talent reserved for klutzes like myself.

Happy birthday, Minty. I'm so sorry, Kimono. LOL! Those fabulous socks were knitted by the talented Tic-Tac-Toe. Thanks, TTT!

Big news! KT is now searchable! I've added a search box to the comic page, as well as the archive and site map pages, so now you can easily find all your favorite pages. Just type in a word or phrase, like "wasabi" or "Brightly," and you'll be taken to a list of all KT episodes dealing with that subject. Hooray! I've also added the search function to the sidebar of this blog. Many, many thanks go out to everyone who helped with the transcription process. This was possible because of your generosity!

Poor Minty. I hope her friends make it up to her!

Updating early as I am ill and would like to go to bed! My family's situation is gradually improving. Many thanks to those who have wished us well.

There's a small departure in this one, as I have incorporated a non-miniature item in the photographs. I've done this only once before, and I try not to make a habit of it. My new house has a flower garden. I grew up helping my mother tend our vegetable garden, but flowers are new to me. I've done a lot of work in it, as the previous owners did not take care of it at all. So far, I have had good results, but I was saddened when something ate my roses. I know everything has to eat, but why my flowers?

And look! Minty uses LJ. ~_^

It's true. Iron Man is a flawed hero. :P I wish I could do those cool word balloons like the ones they use in the Iron Man comics!

The situation with my family at the moment is shaky at best. Updates may still be erratic in the coming weeks. Hopefully, having a new Cooking with Superman will make up for any gaps in the schedule. I know it's made my week a little better. Thank you for your patience.

Better news! Thanks to the tireless efforts of my volunteers, the transcription effort is nearly complete. We are thisclose to having a search function on KT! There's only a handful left to go. Thank you so much to everyone who chipped in.

Due to a family emergency, there will be no new KT this week. Luckily, I had already planned to take this week off, and so I had filler art ready to go. Depending on circumstances in the next few weeks, I may need to place the comic on a temporary hiatus. I'll be back as soon as I can. Thank you for your support.

Wolverine as a scarecrow. Cyclops would milk that for all it's worth. ;)

Kimono's Townhouse #100, y'all! I can't believe KT has come this far. Thanks to everyone who has commented, linked, laughed and encouraged me to keep at it. You all are the greatest.

Bits of news:
First off, Minty would like everyone to know that she's looking for Super Smash Brothers Brawl friend codes. That's right. You can play against Minty on SSBB. Would you really want to pass up an opportunity like that?

And the transcription initiative is now at 71.0%. Woohoo! :D



Edit (April 6): 76.0%! Thanks, Michelle and Xan!

I work in retail, and I bend over backwards for some of our customers. We have customers who have to buy everything separately, because they can't add. We have customers who leave their money or their ID in their car. And we have customers who play the pointing game either because they can't read or are too lazy to be bothered to speak. I'm sure my pain is universal.

Many, many thanks to those who have helped with the transcription effort! I tried my best to thank each of you individually in my previous entry. Thanks to your hard work, we are halfway there! Woohoo!



Update (27 March): 65.7%, woohoo! Thanks, Guiliaine and anonymous benefactors!

Admit it. You played along with the Easter Bunny for awhile for the candy. XD

I've completed all the notations in the comic section of the website. Each page now has commentary, ranging from inspirations, notes on how the comic was made, bloopers, and other fun stuff. This also allowed me to give credit where it was due, which makes me feel a whole lot better!

Now I can turn my full attention to the transcription process. A lot of you have volunteered to help me out with this, and so far, we've pulled together 29 transcriptions! :D These transcriptions are text-based descriptions of each page of KT, so that I will be able to put a search function on the website. This will make it easier for you to find specific pages, and it will help others discover KT too, through its partnership with Oh No Robot. So if you want to help out, please drop by the database and pick a page to transcribe. Thank you so very much for all your support! I couldn't do this without you. ^_^



Update (4:00 pm): 40.8%! Thanks, Nona, Daisy, Jean and KandiPanda!



Update (20 March): 45.9%! Thanks, KandiPanda and Anezka!



Update (24 March): 53.5%! Thanks, Nona and Jenn!

In memory of Gary Gygax.

Sorry this is a little late. I seriously underestimated how long it would take to make those long boxes! o_O

Kimono's Townhouse is spotlighted this week at Tomgeeks! :D Be sure to drop by there to find lots of other, cool webcomics.

A million thanks to everyone who has contributed to the KT transcript database! 24 of the 97 comics are now transcribed, which means we're about 25% toward our goal of having a working comic search engine on the KT website. I appreciate every single person who's helped, but I would especially like to thank Xan, who wrote well over half of those transcriptions. What a trooper! Thank you ever so much, Xanda!

And finally, I am in the process of adding notations to each comic on the site. So if you look at the first twenty or so comics on the site, you'll see all sorts of commentary. Please excuse the dust while I work!
