Adding to my list of things to do
Okay, I've been pretty dutiful when it comes to promoting the ol' DearPirate.com action. When I only had about two strips up, I started listing it on BuzzComix and TopWebComics. Both are popularity-based websites that really keep traffic there for the top 100 - but once you're in, you're golden. I'll be making a voting drive probably in September for this strip.
But the almost annoying thing about those sites is that you don't even really need to have a webcomic to be listed there. And there's a few sites that I've spotted that really are nothing more than a background waiting for a strip to happen. In short, I'm not sure how many people actually bother to go to those two sites to find new strips.
But there's one site that I was already familiar with, thewebcomiclist.com. I'd already be up there, but the text on the site says that I need 10 strips first, and alas, I'm at six (make that eight this Thursday). I'm not even near 10 strips until August 3.
So it's quite a funny note for me to realize this is out there:

I'm a little worried about it, because it's not something of my doing. It's really the first time that this strip is officially completely out of my control, something I knew was going to happen sooner or later (was betting later. Damn, I hate losing).
I'd like to upload a pic of Monkey Pirate to it, but I don't have the time at the moment until after my San Diego trip. So whoever did make that listing and made it one of their favorites, thank you, and please don't put anything bad about me there.
