Magellan

Page 11 of Legacy is now up and you can read it by voting for Magellan at Top Webcomics. Voting helps to raise the profile of Magellan and bring in more readers.

Here’s an overview of the Golden Age superhero The Streaker, whose legacy plays a major part in this story. And here’s an overview of some of the other speedsters in the Magellanverse… which should be particularly useful with this update.

I should add that voting will also give you access to all the pages you may have missed so far!

As you might suspect, this story will include depictions of nudity from time to time – nothing gratuitous, but if that sort of thing isn’t your thing then I’ll understand if you don’t want to vote!

UPDATE (3/14): So my computer is now behaving itself…! Is it a miracle? A resurrection? Who can say. I’m still a bit nervous using it, although it has been behaving itself very well today. Anyway, I will be getting a replacement in a few more days, but at least the urgency appears to have receded for now.

In the Very Good News Department – I have now finished the next Magellan update AND the next Legacy update. Legacy will update tomorrow but Magellan will not update until Sunday – this gives me a bit of time to start work on the next few pages.

Apologies for the non-update on update day… here I was, happily working away on the art when my computer seemingly had a massive seizure or RAM-fart or something. And then refused to reboot. Again, and again and again. Tried to reinstall the OS… which also failed several times. Heavy sigh. I couldn’t even internet to let you all in on the situation. Well, except those following Magellan via the Facebook page, who were reasonably well appraised: “Computer dead”. That’s the BAD news.

Anyway, I powered it down and walked away from it all for a while. Then decided to try a tried and true Doctor Who technique known as “percussive maintenance”. While I didn’t hit the computer hard, there was some gentle slapping, shaking and thwacking involved.

Somehow that actually worked. Not right away mind… but one hour after I powered it back on it finally gave me access to a hard drive that had seemingly vanished four hours earlier, and it eventually rebooted and here I am. That’s the GOOD news.

Even better still, I only lost a small amount of work from this morning. Yay for regular saving (and back-ups too, of course, which I would have had even had this tanked). That’s the GOODER news.

So where does that leave the current pending update? LATE! It’s evening and I’m a bit over dealing with this machine at the moment – to be honest I’m petrified that if I turn it off it will never turn on again. But I gotta go to bed, then go to day-job work tomorrow. So yeah… stand by, it will be along in a few more days.
