Umm.... *kicks at the dirt sheepishly*  hi...  I know I've been like... away for awhile now... and Umm I wish I didn't have to be gone for so long and stuff.  I see it all the time I get into reading a great comic and wham!  Somebody hits the brakes.  No rhyme no reason, just silence.  I apologize for submitting you to that very same phenomenon.  But some things just can't be helped.  It's part of getting older, having more responsibilities which sucks ass.  My typical work week is 65+ hours not counting fixing computers on the side or working to get the pool ready to open at the end of the month.  I really like doing this and in my very limited free time Somewhere between beating the Elite 4 "again!" and watching Charlotte kick my ass in Wii sports bowling I do think and or actually work on the comic.  I'm trying to get a lot of stuff in order and done before I try to do any kind of regular stuff again.  If I don't, this will just happen all over again.  So check by every now and again.  There isn't and firm date or anything just it will happen when it does.

Greetings, today I bring light newslets and nuggets of information.  All pages are beginning to be redone in the same style as he home page.  Starting with the Stuff Page where you can find wallpaper, link banners and other, well... stuff.  I added Institute of Metaphysics to the link wall.  Good stuff, check them out.  Beware, if you don't like magic, half demons, vampires, cat people, hot chicks in skimpy outfits, and college don't check them out.   But you know that's your loss.  Hope everyone had a good Turkey day sorry for missing out last week but you know how the holidays can be.  There will be some new shirts coming up in the store soon and some more chibi drawings on the characters page.  So until next time peace and chicken grease.

Hello all.  Lando here with today's breaking news.  We're International baby!  Well I guess that isn't but so surprising since this is a webcomic, but to me, living in a small town as I do, it's damn cool to know that people in Australia and Poland are reading!  So thanks to all the rest of our non American readers as well!  I can't say where you guys are from because you haven't put yourself on the map!  If you do I'll be sure to thank you here.  Also I might do a Thanksgiving filler if an idea happens to come to me.  I am so relieved by the one day a week schedule.  I was starting to crack with all the responsibilities in my daily life and was developing a creative block.  But now the ideas are flowing again and I intend to use the time to get ahead.  Who knows, by 2007 I maybe able to go M,W,F!  Anyhoo thanks for continuing to read!

I want to apologize to all you guys for being so flaky lately.  I've been a bit slammed with work and family stuff.  Whitney is going full time at her job but that means that I'll see less of her and have more alone time with the kids.  That also means less free time to work on things.  So for now Welcome Back to Roxboro is going on a temporary once a week schedule.  Probably through the holidays.  Because if things go right, after the holidays, I'll be leaving Movie Gallery.  So for now hang in there, and I'll try to make Wednesday the brightest day in your week.

Wednesday November 8, 2006

Gah I was all set to update on time and poof no freaking internet... ALL OVER TOWN!  Something blew up at Charter because multiple cities were affected.  In other news Happy Day After Election Day!  Hope everything went the way you wanted it to... and if not then you either should have voted or should have voted wisely.   Heh just kidding, I'm not political at all but I do my civic duty whenever called that way I earned my right to bitch about the government because I did my part to try to change it.  Oh, super secret project #1 is getting off the ground.  More details as they emerge.

Monday October 30, 2006

Hello, good evening, and welcome.  So some things for this week.  1. New Site (sort of) I just rewrote all the code in FrontPage and added some new bells.  2. New (pop-up free) Tag Board.  Yay!  3. Um new comic Duh!  I'm finished with Avalon Wars for now.  Some random bits of funniness are forthcoming as I think about the next story line.  I'm also hoping to finish a family drawing for Halloween.  If I do, I'll post it tomorrow.  Thursday will be Halloween related as well.  Welcome to the new Frappr members! ^.^  Thanks for taking time to show love to WBTR.  Thanks to Melissa and Jesse for shirts and mouse pads!  Last but not least there are a couple of top secret projects in the works.  One more top secret than the other, in fact you can find out what the first one is all about over on the forums.  TTFN!

Lando

Thursday October 19, 2006

Heh, sorry busy week.  I got a little behind.  But I got caught up.  So at least 1 more Avalon wars strip maybe two.  It depends.  Thanks for reading guys and gals!

Thursday October 12, 2006

Sorry for the late update.  My wife had a tooth extracted today and I was up late last night sitting at her work place to make sure nobody robbed her.  I just now finished.  She works at a gas station and with the kids off at grandparents houses for the big day today, I was able to watch over her.  Its something one of us in our family has done whenever she closes since the place got robbed a few weeks back.  No one was there, but we don't want to take any chances.  So here you go 24 hours late but better late than never.

Lando

Monday October 9, 2006

Heh sorry again if you were still getting anything weird from the site.  I missed abit of code when I removed the offending Tag board.  Anyway it's really gone now.  I think... Anyway I am working on a site redesign.  This site is an amalgamation of different techniques and programs.  I have reclaimed FrontPage 2003 and am slowly working on a more streamlined site.  I hope to make it even prettier and stuff.  On to other news Welcome Joe from Sacramento!  Congrats man you are the first person I've not met to join the frappr map!  Phil and Kev you don't count cuz I met you online before.  Phil is going to have something to say about that... *grabs aspirin*  And of course Benmofo my life long buddy.  Thanks a bunch guys!

Lando

Friday October 6, 2006

Gah sorry about the pop-ups.  I guess the Tag board caused it.  It's gone now so it shouldn't happen again.  I'm really enjoying  this mini story I don't have an idea past Monday but I might keep going on it for awhile.

Lando

Monday October 2, 2006

Oops, it's been awhile since I posted here.  So um, hey and stuff.  So um, see ya later.

Monday September 11, 2006

Five years, I can remember, you can remember, we all remember.  Now I'm the kind of person that would say something or make a small tribute comic, but our greatest tragedy has been commercialized beyond recognition.  So here is something to brighten your otherwise dark day.  Oh it is entirely coincidental that this comic has to do with planes.  This was a news story about a month or so ago.  A piece of the wheel door fell off a plane and totally pwned this woman's bathroom so I made fun of it.

Lando

Thursday August 24, 2006

New forum!  The powers that be have given me a Forum!  I know, it's not the tag board but hey it works.  I may again revive the slain beast once tag world gets their glass stomachs polished.  Meanwhile... I got a Domain!  Whoo Hoo!  That may be why you couldn't get to the site from Wednesday - Saturday.  It's called Domain Propagation and it takes 48 hrs.  Nothing could be done.  But hey now we have a spiffy new URL www.back2roxboro.com!  Also a few additions to the site, I finally finished the main banner and made some clerical errors go away.  I'm getting ready to pitch the comic on the CG forums.  

Lando

Friday August 18, 2006

Off to the mountains!  Well for me and the wife anyway :) The reason will be clear on Sunday.  And it will take the place of  Monday's comic.  Sorry but that's the way things go.

 Lando

Thursday August 17, 2006

Update to the site!  Added a wallpaper to the Stuff page.  Also 2 more updates and I can get a forum!  So its coming hang on!

Lando

Sunday August 13, 2006

Hello gang!  The Tag board has died a horrible death!  They are doing some kind of renovation at Tag World and it is now defunct.  Their Sql is totally forked so I took it down.  I have a couple of additions to the wiki including a new character and finally a Chibi Melissa I'll be adding the Melissa info to the Character page shortly.  I'm still keeping with the current story line sorry if these are getting weird but things just kinda work differently in my head.  I'll probably switch things up as #20 approaches so keep reading.

Lando

Thursday August 3, 2006

Hey guys thanks for reading.  I see nobody has hit my frappr map yet though :(  I did see traffic double between June and July so that is awesome!  I had some other ideas scripted already but I think I'll keep to this story for a little longer.  I'm kinda in a groove now and  the ideas keep coming thanks to a little help from the comic genesis forumites. :)  Also first straight on shot for Lando!

Wednesday July 26, 2006

Hey new listing at Webcomic Battle!  Vote and help  me kick some comic butt!  

Lando

Saturday July 22, 2006

OK so I blew it... I missed my first update.  But balancing two jobs, a wife and two kids, finding some time to sleep and walk to lose weight, and do a comic, it was bound to happen eventually.  I plan to keep doing this for a long time to come.  so I hope this hasn't made anybody stray from the path.  There will always be bumps in the road.  Any way back to regular on Monday.  Thursday's strip will post on Monday and we'll be back to normal until the next obstacle.  I hope you enjoy this one while not super funny, it is something that actually happened.  Lots of extra artwork in this one, too.  That was part of the problem working with profiles again is difficult since I have little experience with them.  See ya soon.  

PS A special thanks to Karen Campbell from TN for buying  a Welcome To Roxboro shirt!  Maybe it's a little late
since she bought it in April but I just found out.  I think its cool that even after 3 years of being dormant that someone out there likes it well enough to buy something from the store! And to think I almost took it down last month..

Thursday July 20, 2006

Sorry comic will be late today, I watched Final Destination 3 last night instead of working on it. It's about 95% so I should have it done on my lunch break 1:00 pm eastern. Sorry but you have to remember, out of 168 hours in a week, only 22 are free time for me. Right now each comic is taking about 6-7 hours to finish so you can see where that leaves me. No worries though, I love doing the comic. I feel better than I have in a long time now that I'm doing it again. Oh and how did I watch Final Destination 3 last night when it comes out next Tuesday?  One of the very small number of perks from working at a video store is watching new movies the week before they come out :)

Yay first fan art =^.^= very deserving of the kitty face. Whitney drawing... Whitney!! She is thinking about doing her own webcomic too :) Fan art section soon to come.

Saturday July 15, 2006

As you may have seen on the tag board my Gen chan got rejected.  Oh well such is life.  Back to some good news, The Character Page is up!  I consider this a great thing since I never did one for Welcome to Roxboro.  And I like the design of the characters too.  Maybe I'll use them in a strip or two.  Also I made my first store item.  The Cast Shirt is available from Cafe Press.  I'm going to put the image on a few more items but the link goes to the store so you'll be able to see al of them as they go up.

Thursday July 13, 2006

Woot Website goodness!  I got a lot of stuff done this week using up some of my buffer.  Menu bar for the main page is done... sort of .  I'll be adding more images to it as I come up with them.  Also I added an RSS feed so you can go straight to the latest comic whenever you want :) And last but not least I added a personal touch to the site ala the icon in the address bar.  I have also started on the concept for the character page and hand drawn some ideas, very roughly I might add.  It'll be cool but it will take some time.  Other than that everything's going smoothly.  I rise and fall daily according to the webcomic list so check them out to see some other good comics and be sure to come back here through them to show the you read me.  

Here's a sneak peek of the design for the Character page:



Lando

Monday July 10, 2006

Hey guys just got all the pages formatted the same again.  I was changing the main without changing others and things were starting to look funny.  Now everything's  back to looking good.  Eventually I'll get a proper menu bar drawn, but for now the text links stay.  Oh and a characters page will be coming soon... though how soon I don't know.

Lando

Thursday July 6, 2006

Here's some more filler, I got the idea while I was on the can.  For those of you who don't know, any problem can be worked out with a smoke or a good dump.  I get my best ideas while doing either.  Enjoy and we'll be back to normal Monday.

Lando

Tuesday July 4, 2006

Tag board frenzy!!  If you don't know this involves the webcomic battle from Monday between me and Tom.  It was damn close!  I got an eleventh hour vote ' literally' to beat out Elvenbaath!  So the long and short of it is that I was mean and I apologized for it and well you can read the rest.  Also I decided that the list was too long and had too many big names on it so off they went!  They get enough publicity as it is so now we're down to four.  This one's for you Tom.

Lando

Sunday July 2, 2006

Hey guys get ready for some 4th of July filler.  I'll be taking this week to get ahead of the curve so Tuesday will be it for this week.  Also I get the privilege of having my wisdom teeth out on Friday.  So that's the real reason.  I need to get two strips ahead if possible in case I'm to delirious to do any next week.

Lando

Friday June 30, 2006

Hey I entered Thursday's strip in Webcomic Battle!  I know it isn't super funny but I figured eh what the heck.  Vote for me if you want to but hey if my opponent is funnier then vote for them ... I guess I'm ok with objectivity.  I may not exist yet because I don't have an opponent but keep a check It'll be there soon enough.

More resizing, images now 700 wide since most people now run at 1024x768... well I think they do anyway.  I run 1280x1024 but I have a 21" monitor, not bragging just stating facts :)  Its old as dirt, got it at a warehouse sale for $75.  Also I missed Bethany's neck shadow so I fixed it too.  I created a Gen-chan! Hopefully it will get approved, but you can see her now on the stuff page.

Monday June 19, 2006

Hey a few minor changes: First sorry about the wrong text in the last frame of #2 I uploaded the wrong image.  This was a crossover strip from Welcome To Roxboro and I loaded he same image on both comics.  Doh!  Hey it happens.  Second I increased the image size a bit to tune out some fuzziness.  That's it for now talk to ya L8r.

Friday June 2, 2006

So here we are again folks. Welcome Back to Roxboro! I figure I ought to give a little spiel about what’s changed and the direction that the new comic is hoping to take. So everybody has read Welcome to Roxboro right? … No? … Well go on we’ll wait… Ok now that that’s settled, Welcome Back to Roxboro is well sort of a sequel to Welcome to Roxboro in a sense that Bond movies are sequels: The same main character even if he looks a little different for one reason or another and a different leading lady with some familiar characters and new ones mixed in. There got it? So here we are again at the beginning I have already set upon the task of mostly redesigning everything taking very few elements from the original comic. But you know when you draw that perfect pair of eyes or set of teeth and you know there is no way to do it better? Well you’re damn right you use copy and paste. Aside from these occurrences everything has a fresh new look and while I haven’t quite gotten away from the standard three-quarter stance that prevailed in the last comic keep in mind that I now work two jobs and have two girls and a wonderful wife. So you can imagine that I haven’t a lot of free time. I can’t exactly work on things at either job for various reasons but hopefully when we get a new building at job 1 I’ll be able to get some more artwork done while there. I do however, have some metamorphic aspirations for this iteration of the comic. I have been using still poses of my wife and the kids to explore ways of making the comic more realistic and less static. The schedule for now will be twice a week Monday and Thursday so you can read us and Applegeeks on the same day if Hawk and Annath ever get back on regular schedules. I love their stuff. The links to the side are the web comics that I read and respect and to whom I owe the existence of Welcome to Roxboro and Welcome Back to Roxboro. My very first webcomic was Real Life by Greg Dean and I have been picking up others since, by linking from the others that I read. I would say I wish gonorrhea of the nose on Piro but that’s just my jealousy of his success and talent speaking. Seriously though, I would like to kick him in the nuts every time he says his stuff isn’t good. Ok enough butt sniffing for one rant. Thanks for taking the time to read my effort at a webcomic and if you have any suggestions fan mail or hate mail you can find me at Helst0rm at Gee mail dot com. Here’s hoping to entertain you for years to come.
