Old News and Updates
10/12/11
Not a whole lot to say except thanks to those who periodically checked the site. The stress of college has made putting up quality comics feel more like "work" than leisure and I have simply been putting it off. I can't make any guarantees as to when I'll be putting up comics, so just stop by once in a while for a laugh - hopefully a new comic will be here to greet you!

Just getting back from vacation and preparing to leave to go back to RPI! Now that I think about it, what number comic are we up to?.... "CSI Cafeteria" is numero 88!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

YIKES! I haven't put anything here in a month - no, two months?! >_<' Well here's why things have been a bit "strange" on the site this summer:
- dropped my laptop and messed up my hard drive
- got my hard drive repaired after a couple of weeks
- sent my laptop in to get repaired
- got laptop back in a week with Windows Vista (instead of Windows 7) and left CD to redownload Photoshop at RPI
- uploading comics (featuring Jokestar!) with no Foetoeshopz. D:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6/11/11
Just got done adding a bunch of downloadable links to the comics so you can keep on your computer, share 'em on Facebook, or even make it your screensaver! :O
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5/29/11
The updates are back and will be on Friday and Sunday. Sorry for the long wait, enjoy!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3/20/11
My spring break was a lot more action-packed than I expected since I was running around looking for jobs to apply for, doing scholarships, and spending time with my family and friends. So today (Sunday) I'll be posting the TWO comics that were supposed to go up last week. Some day between Monday and Saturday will be two more comics.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3/9/11
Okay, I goofed on updating last week, but the first comic for this week is already up! I don't know if I'll make up for the missing comics this week, but I did finally post something on my side-blog, "Athelstan Etc." You can take a peek at it if you like (and speaking of "likes"...) and go through old comics and click the new Facebook "Like" buttons on your favorites! And if you like all of them, don't be afraid to click them all! <(^_^<)

"Reg, what's up with the new schedule," you ask. And answer I shall. Thanks to the few of you who filled out the Survey, I found out that some of you wouldn't mind me posting comics only two days per week. This was a blessing in disguise because if I can commit to two comics per week, then perhaps I will do it! But if you feel differently, fill out the survey! I designed it with those who don't like surveys in mind; because I don't care much for 'em either!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1/24/11
So last week was an unoffical break, so everything is back up and running this week. And I'm finally back in school taking my first classes for my second semester.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1/10/11
Happy New Year everyone! This week will feature comics that I have drawn on my computer using my new drawing tablet. Should be a pretty interesting week for all of us!
Is that a good thing?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
12/30/10
Bad wireless connection has made me lazy in updating the site, but next week will be better! (At least it should be better.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
12/20/10
Hey, I'm done finals and I'm back in Jersey! I might have saw some you at Timber Creek today, or you might have seen me and Gerald doing the announcements like the good ol' days.
Concerning the site, I'm back to putting up comics Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
12/6/10
I used to think, "I never get sick!", but this recent weekend has taught me otherwise. Ugh.
I have on my agenda to get the OFFICIAL title for the comic done. You know, that title I was working on three months ago? I wonder if files can collect dust...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11/29/10
You can go into the Old News and Updates section to confirm this for yourself, but remember when I discovered that the site wasn't searchable by Google? Well, I noticed today that some visitors arrived here via Google! And I tested it for myself, and yes, P4L is on Google!... But probably on page 64 or something like that...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11/7/10
Yo, yo, yo, what's up guys? Not a lot to talk about, except that the school newspaper at RPI is considering putting my comics in their newspaper and on their website! The big catch is that I would have to produce seven comics per week; they can be made ahead of time. I'm praying and thinking about it, but what do you guys think? Say somethin' in the comments.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
11/1/10
Happy Thnaksgiv- oh wait, it's only the beginning of November... I can't wait to go back home for Thanksgiving, but I'm sure you can't wait to finish reading this text so you can go back to look at that General Custard comic for the sixth time! The Archive section's links are all up-to-date, if you were wondering.
I was wondering if you guys save my comics to your computer (you know, right click, scroll to "Save Picture As..."). If so, would you guys want .zip files of the full-sized versions of the comics? If so, tell me on my Facebook page or let Cool Cuts know on FB!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10/25/10
Epic fail on my part - I forgot to put up a comic this Friday. I probably forgot because I haven't been on Facebook in days and that's what normally reminds me. I'll make up for this attrocity in the near future, so don't worry! In the meantime, just be thankful for the lulz you have today.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10/18/10
Howdy y'all! I made a couple changes to the site:
- Home page now has a link to Cool Cuts' Facebook page. Become friends!
- Archive section has been divided up into months for easier viewing and less scrolling! For now... The links are not active for most of 'em; I'll add them some other time.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10/11/10
Happy Columbus Day! I'm certainly happy to spend this day reflecting upon one of mankind's greatest discoveries: sleep. Zzzzzz... -_-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10/4/10
Happy October! I feel like such a kid - I can't wait until Halloween just so I can dress up.
But enough about me, how about we talk about you?... Nah, I changed my mind.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
9/27/10
Sure has been a while since I said anything; sorry to spoil your fun! I'm curious as to how many people read this anyway. This week's theme is... for me to know and you to find out! In other words, I'm not telling you. But take this time to make crazy assumptions and insights in the comments section!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
9/15/10
I've noticed that the latest bags on the site are darker than normal as a result of the different scanner. If they're too hard to read, let me know! (Via the comments section.) Otherwise I won't bother messing around to get the images just right.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
9/13/10
Well the scanner at the library works fine, so no worries about getting new comics up at school. This week is General Fhyzics week, by the way.
Maybe next week I'll have a never before seen brand new bag! I just need to stop being lazy.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
9/8/10
No theme for this week, but once I get to scanning a few bags, a new character will be showing up next week! And I'm closer to completing that logo!
In other news, I forgot that this comic featured another character, Smarties.
UPDATE: Woah! Exactly 100 page views this Tuesday? The number of site vistors stayed at about the usual 30, but still!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/30/10
Today marks the beginning of class for me at RPI and a pain-themed week for my bags. I think it's only fair that we all suffer, right? One of these days I'll go back and attach my border to the older comics. What exactly are those "days," I'm not sure of yet. Also on one of those fabled "days" I will finish Photoshoping the offical PfL logo, Skittles will burst from the earth, and I'll get around to beating LoZ: Twilight Princess.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/27/10
Alright, I have a bit more time to put an update up! RPI's been good so far, but it doesn't feel like "college" yet. Guess that'll change once classes start... We don't get our laptops until later, so adding those comic borders will have to wait. In the mean time, enjoy!
By the way, since I am rushing to put these bags up and my spelling is not the greatest and considering there's no spell check... just don't be suprised to see typos, 'kay?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/23/10
To coincide with many of our departures to college or regular school, this bag will kick off a school-themed week!... It might also be the "first and last" bag of this week. Hopefully I can get my hands on a computer to put up more bags this week since I leave today for college in NY.
So long, Jersey!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/20/10
Today's bag features the border I've been working on. I'm working on a snazzier title, so don't worry about that in particular; post in the comments what you think of it overall. If you guys like it, I'll incorporate it into the rest of the comics!
Be sure to click on the comic to see the full sized image.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/18/10
Still working on a border or something to put on my comics, but I keep changing my mind. It'll get done before I go off to school though!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/16/10
I'm slapping on some "watermarks" on the bottom of the bags for two reasons: (1) If you throw them up somewhere else, others will know how to get here and (2) to make it harder for someone to take credit for them... at least someone not very good with Photoshop.
-_-;;;
UPDATE: Actually, those watermarks look pretty bad. I'll have something better cooked up tomorrow, so no worries. ;-)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/13/10
New look for the site! The header at the top makes it look professional, among other things. Next bag comes out on Monday.
And if you have five minutes, go over and take the "Quick Survey"! You input will do more than improve the site, it will satisfy my curiosity.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/11/10
If you didn't stumble across any search bars on the site that didn't work, that's good! Turns out I have to be archived on Google for it to work! In other words, you can't Google Packed for Laughs... yet.
The more people that visit the site and the better I run this place, the greater the chance this will become a reality. In other words, it's a team effort!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/9/10
Now I'm just realizing that in my last update, I mentioned a schedule, but never said what it was! I'll put one bag comic on the site every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for now. Now you don't have to wait for Facebook to come to the site! This schedule might change in the future, of course.
And ignore any search bars on the site if you stumble across one. They don't work for my site so I'll need to take a closer look at the HTML code...
And old updates are in another section. Hover your mouse over the HOME button above to get to 'em.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8/7/10
Hey boys and girls, I'm back and have news of fairly important significance. I'm going to try and keep a schedule for posting bags so I have a routine underway before going to college. But more importantly, this will keep me from running out of bags! Yay me!
And seeing that this Updates and News column is growing a tad too long, I've made a separate page for those old posts; not that I'm really expecting you to go and take a look at them... Just hover your mouse over the HOME button.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7/30/10
Well, I rushed a bunch of bags onto the site, but it looks like everything came out fine; even the changed the look a bit! (not sure that I dig it as much though...) Anyway, I'm taking a break and am not going to be updating the site for a little while (maybe a week).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7/23/10
Well, I'm back from my Orientation at RPI and have the second bag up. All the links seem to functioning fine - not that there are that many to screw up in the first place.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7/18/10
The Packed for Laughs website is now open to the viewing public! Please forgive me for any broken links or pictures that don't make sense; the site is still going under some refining and I might have been a tad lazy.
But just a tad...
Not a whole lot to say except thanks to those who periodically checked the site. The stress of college has made putting up quality comics feel more like "work" than leisure and I have simply been putting it off. I can't make any guarantees as to when I'll be putting up comics, so just stop by once in a while for a laugh - hopefully a new comic will be here to greet you!
