It's finally happened!

Gapotheclown.com has finally been updated. Gone are the endless (okay forty-four) pages you needed to sift through in the archive just to find that one strip from October of 2007 you've been telling your buddy about. Gone is the inability to find that link to that awesome interview given by GAPO's hansom creator. We're entering a new age, baby!

Yes we here at gapotheclown.com have finally caught up with 2006 technology and made a more user friendly web site.

You will now be able to click through to past strips with the arrows conveniently located just below the new strip. There's even a calendar so you can go directly to the day that you may have missed a strip. Or, you can use the pull down menu to go right to your favorite story line. There's even a blog archive so you can go back and read my past ramblings and see what promises I failed to deliver on.

Now there will be some bumps along the way. I'm an old man and technology scares me, so I only just started learning how to use the program that the site now runs on. But, by God, it's so much better then it used to be.

I'd like to thank Brenda K. from www.geektress.com for all her help. She built the site from the ruins I had and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

So, check out the new site, take it for a test drive and enjoy the shinny new features and new site smell. Because in a few weeks all that will be gone it it will just smell like farts.

So the new story line is now underway. The big five hundredth strip is behind us. So what do we
have to look forward to from the clown now? Well, something special is in the works. I should have something BIG to announce in a couple of weeks. Maybe a couple of things. I'll also be updating my convention list for 2010. And for those of you that are interested I will be adding a print of the Celebrating #500 comic strip to the GAPO the Clown store, so check back for that.

In celebration of the 500th strip, here is a little something special. The first ever double
sized GAPO the Clown strip. On Friday we'll start an all new story line.

And there you have it. Strip #500. To be honest, I never thought I'd make it this far.

When I started this strip it was just a way for me to have something to do to help me stay sane. Had you asked me back in 2004 If I thought I'd still be doing this strip at the start of 2010 I would have told you "no way". I'm just having to much fun with it to stop at this point. I think I have another three or four years left in me. At least.

This is going to be a big year for all things GAPO the Clown. I'm going to have some big news in the next month or so, and some smaller, but no less important, announcements coming soon. I'm very happy with the work that's been done and very excited about what's coming up next.

Well, we've almost made it. Friday will be the 500th GAPO the Clown comic strip. And, true to form, we'll be in the midst of a story. So as a bonus I'm planning to do an extra strip that will pop up over the weekend (I hope). I'm planning some other stuff, some changes that were talked about before, for later in the month, but we'll go into that when it happens. I'm also planning a contest that will be offered to people who are Facebook fans of GAPO, so is you're not a fan yet, go become one. Now.
