Arthur, King of Time and Space

3/1/06

I reviewed the archives yesterday. I probably ought to do it at every multiple of fifty. I corrected some typoes and discovered that the king who covets Arthur's beard has been called several sources' different versions of his name. (I also discovered he looks almost exactly like Gorlois of Cornwall, which I would rather have done on purpose than accidentally but would have preferred not to have done at all. But it's not like they'll ever meet.)

For those keeping score, Guenevere calls Griflet Girflet, but I think no one else does. And Tristram's pal Palidomes' name usually has the M and the D transposed. But, as I said in the forum when a reader brought the latter thing to my attention, that's the sort of transmission error that happens in redactions, the sort to be expected. After all creating a story as a webcomic amounts to something similar to putting a page a day of a novel online as you write it - it's all first draft. When the booboos crop up all you can do is say, "Oh well," and move on.

I probably ought to have mentioned under yesterday's gag that my spouse has always been a hundred percent behind my participation in the Daily Grind challenge. The first couple of times we left town last year she was concerned whether I'd be able to keep up. She still asks me every once in awhile, "Hey, what ever happened with that?"
