A Change Is As Good As A Rest

LIKE MY underpants, I like to change my website every ten months or so, and with 2012 now well under way, what better time to have a little bit of a revamp than now? THERE IS NO BETTER TIME!

So yes, welcome to Andy Fanton Dot Com 3.0, which is much like version 2.0 was (above), but has a lighter colour scheme, a new header image, and looks less like a website run by Virgin Media. HOORAY!

You’ll find everything in its right place, including all the comic strips, I was just bored of the old design so decided to freshen it up a bit. I hope you all like it, do let me know in the comments below!

Meanwhile, in other news, 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year already. In The Dandy, I’ve got two new mini-strips coming up, as well as a brand-new full page strip starring an all-new character, which I’ve really enjoyed working on.

And of course, in the meantime, there’s still more George vs Dragon to enjoy! As a bonus, Revamp Day treat, here’s a sneaky preview of this week’s upcoming episode, where George has to face up against a rival! Egad!

As well as all that, I’ve got a couple of other projects buzzing away in the background here, which I’ll hopefully be able to share with you before too long. It’s all going on here, but then again while it’s nice to stand and just enjoy the view, sometimes you need to dash forth and forge ahead, or you’ll never get anywhere. So that’s the plan for this year!

But first I must change these pants…

  • I like blog lists where you can see when its been updated…also prefer it on the left side..probably because I’m left handed..:)

    Like the logo..

    • I’m left-handed too, Peter! Or as it’s otherwise known, ‘best-handed’. For some reason though I don’t like it when sidebars are on the left. Each to their own, eh? Thanks for stopping by, good sir!

  • The header cartoon is just awesome! :D

    • Thank youooooou, Amanda! :D

  • Awesome! :D

    • Cheers, George!

      • The only thing now is… UPDATE MORE OFTEN!!!! :P Or I’ll come round your house and pelt you with cheese and onion crisps.

        • Haha! I’ll try :P

  • New design looks great! I love how sleek it is!

    • Thank you Hannes – it’s sleek and smart, just like me! *Cough*

  • Well done young man…..look forward to seeing more!! kellyscomics!!

    • Thank you, sir!

  • Hooray, the swooshy thing’s gone! (Erm, probably. I’m not using the right browser, so it might just be hiding.)

    I love the new header picture, too – much better than the old one. The links to the comics pages are much better in their new form than just being squished into the navigation menu, and the whole thing looks much cleaner without all that red all over the place.

    Finally, I love how I was able to view the new design without my browser crashing. I don’t know what it is about this site, but I’ve had to raise no fewer than three bug tickets on separate occasions about guaranteed instant crashes – presumably from different causes – the moment I clicked on the bookmark!

    • Thanks, Swirly!

      Yes, the swooshy thing has swooshed its last, it wasn’t serving any real purpose so it was OUT.

      Glad the new look is working okay for you, and glad you like it, too! Cheeeeeers!

  • Needs more Ashton Kutcher.

    • That’s what you say about EVERYTHING, Stuart.

      • That’s because it does, Fanton!

        More Kutcher now!

        • Dude, Where’s My Kutcher?

  • looking good Andy:)

    • Thanks very much, Wayne! :)

  • Looks cracker, Andy, very nice indeed. I’m joining the others in praising the new banner, genius!

    Wait! Did I just call you a genius? Bugger.

    • Haha! And it’s there in black and white (or sort-of-cream), FOREVER! :D

      Thanks very much!

  • C’est beau! C’est tres beau!

    Absolutely brilliant, Fanton! Makes the old website look rubbish and tacky – I’m particularly keen on the new header image! (My blog could really do with a new one!)

    I’d like to see some Grampire, Punslinger and one-off strips down the side as well (one-off meaning Mad March Hare, Springwatch, Rude-olph, Elf and Safety etc.)

    Also, any news on Harry and his Hippo returning – they must come back!

    • Thank you very much, Harry!

      I’ve been thinking about putting up a selection of random mini-strips – so watch this space! :)

So, what do you think?
