Gilgrim’s and my own opinion on certain topics…vary, of course, and we have documented these differences from time to time.

This latest occurrence of differing opinions is one that, I think, eminently displays the difference between the two opinion holders:

For instance, I love all things good and right in the world, and Gilgrim is clearly a being sent to this plane of existence from the nether regions of the multi-verse to sow pain and discord whilst drawing the highest of quality web comics.

But of course, if we didn’t have conflict, what would we have? I’ll spare you all the very long and involved religious/philosophical chat transcript from whence the above comic was born. As Gilgrim stated at its conclusion…we must continue it when we are both in the same room…and drunk.

And here’s one more treat for you (you’re so lucky!), this week’s official NR wallpaper. The perfect compliment to last weeks NR wallpaper.

Veggie Wallpaper

Assorted sizes and styles can, of course, be found in the Extras gallery.

Alright, Aleister here with my two-bits to contribute. Yes, firstly, in reverse order we do have some seriously snazzy Wallpapers(!) as the second in the weekly updated series of extra NormalityRestored digital goodies are here – so if you didn’t already from Kilian’s editorial, get on over to the Extras gallery and grab you some wallpaper for your puter.

Next up (and I seem to be avoiding discussion of the actual comic, but I’m getting there), for those that have been with us for a while, faithful and observant Normalinauts that you are, you may have noticed some aesthetic changes to the old Normality home page. This is still a work in progress and there are definitely some more kinks to work out. But we’re getting there, and as long as we have the trusty Normality Restored Coding Goblins (Local 283) on the job, and our own illustrious Exsulis to crack the whip and keep them in line, we know that the job will be done soon, and well worth the wait. For those that are new to Normality Restored (NR), welcome! For both groups, the current changes that the site is undergoing will (when they’re completed) will make it much easier to navigate, especially for viewing the actual weekly webcomics ^__^ – yay!

Thirdly, this week’s comic was completely inspired by a good old g-chat discussion between me and Kilian which really was a lot of fun, and as Kilian said from two very different sides of the ‘argument’… The funniest thing to me is that the chat/debate went on so long that we almost forgot to plot the comic, and then we realized that inspiration was staring us straight in the face in our little g-chat windows… thusly, we give you this week’s NR webcomic. I have to admit that I’m digging the more vertical lay-out for the actual comic, especially since it is so much closer to what I’m used to for making sequentials. As of now, this will likely be the format from now on, coupled with some more possible resizings (as the comics still seem a bit BIG).

Last, we’ve entered into the area of commerce here at NR. I’m not going to go into the details just yet, but I can say that some ground work has been laid. I will leave a thorough description to Kilian when he can. This probably doesn’t come as too much of a surprise to faithful Normalinauts, but NR for us is sort of a dream, a dream that we wish to participate in full time… to do that, we will be needing money, but in return we will be providing the same (if not continuously improving) high-quality content and low-brow humor you’ve come to enjoy and expect, along with extras (like the current wallpaper series) and more!

So keep a weathered eye on the NR horizon, faithful Normalinauts, change is coming. We love you,

–Aleister

PS

I know many faithful Normalinauts do this any way, but in case you never noticed, there is a vote icon on the sidebar for the ‘TWC’ Rankings – we’ve come along way, and every vote you can give us helps to push us closer to the top. So if you have the time, please feel free. Vote now, vote often – get NR to the top ^__^
