MASSIVE Sqwertz

I bet you’ve noticed that I’m a HUGE fan of syndication for webcomics  – that giant orange cherry bomb in the upper right corner ain’t just for looks. The ability to subscribe to a comic via RSS, Twitter, Facebook or email delivery is one of the things that separates a true “webcomic” from something else – I dunno, a comic merely “on the web.” Blogs produce RSS. Podcasts produce RSS. I think Webcomics should too.

Subscribers may have noticed a bug using Google Reader – a pile up of test posts that have been deleted from the real RSS feed, but that remain forever frozen in Google’s all-remembering mystery cache. It has been a personally fulfilling journey of discovery trying to remove those untidy artifacts and I enjoy it… enduringly. I’ve tried Google’s URL remover to point-out that these ghost pages are all 404 but the changes aren’t instant so I may not know if it has worked for months.

I encourage you early super-fans to delight in this “bonus content” and take screenshots to signify that you were a fan of MASSIVE Sqwertz back before ol’ Bretty had his act – in any sense – together. Oh how we’ll laugh!
