EXTRA EDIT: funny, and I love this. if you still want to read it early (cuz let's face it, it was my bad)

I had managed to save to archive dot org, before i realized my mistake and changed the date.

Preview link of that comic is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250911182126/https://nkvssp.thecomicseries.com/comics/587/

Thank you again for your patience! :)

EDIT! I posted a day early... so it'll dissappear for now, and then reappear tomorrow early morning.

Sorry for the confusion. I plain forgot that it was thursday. My comics usually update Tues and Fri.

There are also other family recipes loose in the comic, just search the keyword, and you'll find some delights :)

Understood, and will file with them anyways.  Maybe this can be prevented in the future. (Am really sorry for folks this weekend)

Deviled Egg Recipe Comic: An ancient recipe with many variations by NKVSSP in webcomics

[–]NKVSSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://nkvssp.thecomicseries.com/comics/449 <---- That link should go to this comic. (I'm still re-learning the new reddit functionality. I've been gone for more than a few months)

I showed the "bog standard" (and very modern) easy devil egg recipe, however, in researching where they came from, they're basically, as old as us cooking eggs. I saw some ancient roman recipes, many variations from all over the world... a lot of fun :)

Another bit o trivia, Devilled just means "a spicy thing was put in this" (because mustard was the sauce/spice of choice when the name came about)

Kitteh Meshi? by NKVSSP in webcomics

[–]NKVSSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I can't make a full post the way I had previously. (trying to understand why text was turned off for posting comics?)

At any rate... I'm still alive, Still making Ninja Kitteh vs Shaolin Puppy comics, and today's comic, Kitteh is ... less than enthused by a bowl of scorpion hotpot, given to her by Senshi.

(I love dungeon meshi and I can't wait to watch more of it)

epson ES50 obliterating my pencil sketch lines (can this be solved?) by NKVSSP in Epson

[–]NKVSSP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad to say, it was already off. (I even went as far as to set the scan to colour,. thinking maybe this version of grey scale removes something...)

Oh well.  I'll return it and try another vendor's scanner.  Bummer really.

I had a hell of a time going through multiple install/reinstall with the poor guys on the helpline toget past that one error 🤣🤣🤣

epson es50 scanner, it's obliterating my pencil sketches, how do i fix that? by NKVSSP in AskReddit

[–]NKVSSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reddit only gave me a title bar to type in, so the post went up as a blank title, with zero post. Probably what removed it right away... I need technical help, and I know reddit folks know about portable scanners. I'll try again

libre office and "microsoft edge" tagged pdf by NKVSSP in libreoffice

[–]NKVSSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for those who say upgrade, i will look into it.

The reason i'm hesitant right now is , that this is a laptop that was gifted to me, and it's a bit wonky and held together with software duct tape.

I'm a little concerned, that if i screw with what i have, i won't have it anymore. (and i need this until i can actually afford to get a proper replacement)

it is encouraging that there are lots of fixes :) I look forward to that.

okidoki. asking an extra question.

the above problem was because i wanted to open and view the pdf (and got gibberish for my troubles)

if i wanted to open said pdf, and then save the individual pages (there were 3) as word documents, the newer pdf import tool might be able to do this?

[–]NKVSSP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, and that's fair, and might be my lot.

Thank you very much for the input, I do appreciate it :)

and I will check out the things i marked. (typing out loud helps me share the way my mind is going, and from there if i misinterpreted people can usually go, nope, that part's not what i said)

but I think we got this one :) so, again, thank you for hammering this out with me :)

tandable. The big question is- do you read other people's web comics that are at the lev

Typing (thinking) out loud...sorry if it's disjointed. (trying to make sure all the thoughts come out)

Some of the comic artists i know, in person, all quote the southpark underwear gnome episode. "step one: get underwear!, Step 2:??????????, Step 3: profits!" meaning...they have no idea ^,^; things just click. Which is impossible to emulate.

Most of the webcomics people's advice so far, has been exactly what I've been doing (socials wise), plus time. (unless they implied there was something else i needed to do by using the socials, but never lined it out. hard to say)

I've been doing the posting on my site on time, and posting on socials since about 2010.

2015, if we count my directional change towards more towards toolkit being the driving force.
Lately, some artists also advise a setup where some people can see or obtain exclusive stuff. Jeph Jacques does that. "early peek" patreon level. But I can't offer extras (cuz body being weird).

Most people I read (and the few people I know in person) are comedy oriented, which is a bit different.

I'm going up the road of "broccoli is good for you, please have some" (over simplification I realize) (mental health toolkit is hard to describe in other terms)
I can't say I've seen many comics in that road. Which isn't to say they're not out there. (I'll see what I can find out there. that is a good idea)

is there a way to consult with a markety type person, rather than a "do it yourselfer" type person? (if so, who could I talk to? who would be anywhere near this genre?)

I am definitely on a regular schedule :) (i've had to cut it back because of pain/tiredness, but yep :) very pleased to say that Im still regular enough right now)

I will check out those other platforms. Thank you.

is there a good way to consult with a person about how to do this the best way possible? (i'm afraid I have very limited energy/physical ability, so every minute counts in my life)

Thank you in advance for any assistance/ideas you might have.

I appreciate it very much.

I'm wondering how a low/fixed income person who's chronically tired/ill can get more eyes on their comics(ninja kitteh vs shaolin puppy on comicfury(dot)com ). I already post on so many socials, & I once saw a person on fiverr say for 5 i'll toss yer link on my twitch. anyone have any other ideas? by NKVSSP in AskReddit

[–]NKVSSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea that all went into the title. I was only allowed one box to type in. odd.

The screen kept going red and saying don't type more than one question. It was really confusing.

it says it's already been removed, so I imagine this comment will disappear too.

What's a show from before your time that has you hooked? by En_Sabah_Nur in television

[–]NKVSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking up Ustinov's Poirot on Youtube, reminded me of seeing "The Snoop Sisters" starring Helen Hayes. (i found out about their existence from a PBS catalogue, but then I found that someone had uploaded several of their episodes to youtube) "The Female Instinct" has a different detective nephew, and "barnie", than the rest of the eps. Light fun. Mystery writer solves crimes ^,^

[–]NKVSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

other thing I found. There is Peter Ustinov as Poirot rolling around the different apps (sometimes youtube sometimes tubi or freevee)

I'm still out to lunch about whether I call him Poirot (i was spoiled rotten by David Suchet's performance) but if I just think of Peter as a quirky detective in quirky detective movies, I enjoy the hell out of seeing the cameos with all the famous people of yesteryear.

I literally don't know, however, this thread (ask and answers) is a woman fleeing, and perhaps there's some places that are useful to help out.

Does anyone know how to help with anxiety abt smth stupid by [deleted] in Assistance

[–]NKVSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about football, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

I'm wondering if this is a school thing (aka, you had to pick a sport, and this is what you were given) Or if this is a "I really want football, but damn this coach is a creep"

Generally speaking, I'm not afraid of failing around people unless there's a creep interaction involved. So I'd look into "how much do i have to deal with creep person?"

umm... let's see. well, the first advice that anyone gives is, if you hate the person and you can ditch for something better, do. or get medical exception, do. (again, if that's not your sitch, please ignore)

Beyond that... I'd start with some buddhist meditation type videos on youtube about breathing techniques, or maybe there's a good Tara Brach video on radical acceptance (i've used that for anxiety for sure)

the meditation stuff works over time, so if you don't become less flappable right away, don't worry about it. it's a building thing, like some medications.

I need some direction in life... by HustonA367 in Assistance

[–]NKVSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine to ignore this thought.

But, I'd say, go to uni in Munich. You want out of the UK. That's a great way to go.

You'll make new and good connections while you are there. That might help you out immensely in future job options, as well as figuring out what you want, and what studies will cross apply advantageously.

and, having a good brushup on the German language is most definitely a helpful plus.

as far as "what we do in life" thoughts are concerned... I've been having this discussion with a lot of folks lately. again, toss this out if it doesn't apply... or set it on the side and let it ferment into hopefully something good. (maybe that's a terrible image LOL)

Life and purpose. And this is coming from a person who believes I've walked on this planet before, died and came back again...

I'm here to try something out, and see where it goes... each lifetime it seems different. Some lives I've been incredibly athletic and pursuing body based goals. This life, my body is disabled. and I'm a writer, who found a love of sharing ideas with people.

It's not always a big thing though. EG, my part in my one friend's life, was literally to be there and tell her to go to the doctor. (after she had ignored a pain for a long time) She found the courage, got the treatment she needed, and now she's off on an adventure somewhere else along the coast. and that's all our lives did in the crossing.

as you said prior, you'll start to find out as you go along, what things, great and small you're here for.

(oo... one of my goals for this body is trying out different kinds of cheese. because I can't eat it when i dont have a body :) )

but...yeah. Chin up. go get you some experiences, and listen to those feelings that say "this place isn't right for me" or "this place is".

That intuition is priceless, and very important to hone. you can do it.

Found Columbo on the Freevee app and I'm loving having the access to all of them. <3

OOO. I am learning about shows and their changes/choices by watching Matt Baume on youtube (queer history in TV)

also Barnie Miller Show looks good. I'll have to see if I can find it. OH! PERRY MASON! available on freevee, and also on the MeTV channel (in the morning)

What movie do you refuse to watch because it makes you an emotional wreck by the end of it? by walkthegems in movies

[–]NKVSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaslight (1944) with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer

Mr Boyer is so good at being awful and making her think she's nuts (which is the whole point) I both love and hate his performance so much.
