As I mentioned, I’m experimenting with responsive design for the HD and/or mobile version of Cat Nine. After playing around with it for a while, I kinda want to apply it to the main site, if it’s ok with you guys. So far, I’ve only tested it with page 85. For now, the comic image is the only thing that adjusts since redesigning the whole layout is too much work. What do you guys think? Poll below! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Currently done:
- Removed “Gallery” link from the menu. I don’t think anyone checks that out anyway, plus I do have my deviantArt account for that.
- Added bookmark widget. Tag/bookmark a page, so you can go back to it later! It will only work on the same device however. I might remove this if isn’t used much.
- Added page numbers to comic titles. Much easier searching using the search feature and the archives.
- Added notes in the rant section to certain comics. Who knows, it might be interesting.
- Added alt-text to all comics. If you don’t know what alt-text is, it’s that thing that pops-up if you mouse over an image, or as a replacement for the image. Just some extra fun.
- Optimized the website, all comic images, and some other images in the website. Smaller size, faster browsing!
Update 8/20/2023: Cleaned up and added info about WebP. This page seems to be getting a lot of views for some reason. You’re not bots are ya? 🤨

Thinking of updating the banner for this year’s Halloween. Anyone got a costume in mind for the characters?
A lot of hobbies can be done for free, but does that include making webcomics? Excluding expenses like electricity and internet access, I’d say the bare minimum is a computer, but of course, even that can be free in a way. For most people, here’s what you can expect to spend on if you’re planning to start a webcomic. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For some reason, people neglect the “web” part of webcomics. Don’t! I understand it isn’t as fun as working on the comic, but it should be considered an important part of the webcomic itself! Think of your favorite comic book or graphic novel(if any), you wouldn’t have bought it if the packaging’s crappy, right? Web design doesn’t have to be hard, that is, if you follow these tips. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Things to consider when starting a webcomic
So, you decided to start a webcomic huh? I can hazard a guess on why you started one:
- Like, oh my god, you’re a real fan of that show/series/movie, fan comic;
- Want to start on the comic industry;
- Cause you’re bored;
- Cause it’s fun;
- Money;
- As practice.
Whatever the reason you decided to start a webcomic, the important thing is, do you really have the time, energy and patience for it? Webcomics might seem easy, but it’s a lot of work. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
