Smith is moving house

Not to worry, Smith, you're going to need that ID collar where you're going. Yes, after four and a half years and over 700 cartoons, Smith is moving to a new website and a new format.

Cartoons don't have to be the shape newspapers dictated they should be in the early 20th Century - and they definitely don't need to be the shrivelled size newspapers demand nowadays. Cartoons are now delivered to mobile phones, tablets and all sorts of screens, so they should take advantage of the infinite oblong now at their disposal.

So Smith is no longer going to be a long strip every time. Sometimes it'll be a square, sometimes a rectangle - it all depends on what serves the gag best on any particular day. Whatever happens, it'll be bigger and clearer that ever before, as we deal with the loophole GoComics has given us about file sizes - so long as the image supplied isn't wider than 600 pixels wide, if doesn't matter how deep you go.

The story continues as ever at GoComics, and join Smith at the new improved blog at smith.ink

And if you're new here, why not start at the beginning on January 1st 2011 and work your way through the back catalogue. Have fun.
