(Zombie Roomie) site update

Today was spent working on making the chapters and characters pages work.

There was a plugin issue where I couldn't get the entries to accept a number that wasn't 1, so all of the entries were fighting each other for the first location... but by turning all of the plugins other than the one I had to have active, I was able to get them to take their actual place.

So the chapters page works as a way to go through the archive. I might look into an additional method for traversing it, but right now this is my favorite option.

The characters page isn't in a super specific order, I just sort of put couples and family near each other. I'll work on the art for both pages after a bit.

The other major thing I did was from the start of the comic through early 2010, I uploaded new versions of all of the comics. These versions were originally edits that I was going to use for the ZR book, but that book was never finished... I ended up back burner'ing the work and sort of forgot they existed-- I had already edited up to the start of the monsters playing poker bit so I assumed those were the edited strips... But with having to upload the 2000px comics i went to look in the folder I had for the book.

I was surprised to see the quality of those strips-- they're great. They still have the old art, but I had changed up the backgrounds for a lot of them to use stuff from the same locations that I had done for later strips. I also redid the fonts and balloons. I recolored/shaded them and there was efforts to add more effects when needed.

These edits are almost ten years old... and nobody has seen them, until now.

I'm super stoke about having the first xmas arc in the comics that are re-re-uploaded now as the current xmas arc references it.
