I’ve been spending the time working on the new version of the website that will contain both Domestic Animal, this blog, and a few other goodies galleries and Naomi related infotainment. </p> <p>Most of all it’s shiny and easy to use! Here’s a preview image.</p> <p><img align="middle" alt="Naomiyaki v2.0 Preview Image" height="668" src="http://www.naomiyaki.com/postImages/20111212naomiyaki20.jpg" width="1253"/></p> <p>The new comic page will be packed with new features to make reading, searching, and sharing simple and pretty.</p> <p>The homepage template is done, and as soon as I’ve finished up some of the content both Domestic-Animal and this blog will get the update. Then it’s back to comic-town. Until then, a hojillion thank you’s to all of the people who have read, commented on, liked, tweeted, etc’d the comic and if you have any weird sketches you want me to do before the next issue is up, <a href="http://blog.naomiyaki.com/ask" title="Sketch requests!" target="_blank">send them my way anytime.</a></p> </div>http://blog.naomiyaki.com/post/14140358397http://blog.naomiyaki.com/post/14140358397Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:23:00 -0800WebsiteWeb DesigncomicDomestic Animal<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvxd826tx61qgetnqo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>We made two vegan pies out of precisely two exceptionally large Bramley’s Seedlings (and a couple tiny pears).
