The much-awaited, and much-delayed, relaunch of The Comic Journal’s website has become… slightly more delayed. Last night, webmaster Dirk Deppey posted the following to the TCJ message board:
This message board explodes in an hour …everybody booze up and riot!
Two hours later, the board remained unexploded, and a poster stated the obvious:
Um…
*looks around*
looks a whole lot like the last digs.
Dirk explains what happened:
My tech guy asked for more time to get the style sheets fixed, so we’re delaying the launch until he’s done. It should be no later than this evening.
(Of course, naturally I didn’t get the email until after asking our new hosting provider to switch Deppey.com out to TCJ.com on their local name servers, so the test site is momentarily down — it should be switched back within the hour.)
Anyway, sometime tonight, TCJ.com will be relaunched. And it will feature the official relaunch of Dirk’s Journalista blog, the one that started a lot of us off on this whole “comic blogging” thing.

What will he say?! What will he sa-ay-ay?!
I await the second coming. I seem to remember Journalista’s sabbati-demise as what drove me to that little number you used to do.

The whole of the comics blog-osphere (or at least the good ones) seem to have filled the vaccum that Deppey left behind when he went on to the Journal. So what happens when he returns? If you hear a hissing sound coming from your computer, run!
