The Utopian: Foundation – a webcomic by Pj Perez

In preparing these strips for re-publishing, I had to go back to the original Photoshop files, which wasn’t a problem for the first 13 or so strips, but when I came to this one, I found that the file was missing the lettering. So was the next one. And the one after that. And…

See, I was working on this webcomic before I started using Dropbox, which automatically syncs my files and folders across multiple computers. Back in 2012-2013, when I was working on a comic, oftentimes I’d do different parts on different computers, depending on where I was at on any given day, and I’d transfer the files via FTP on my web server. This meant that sometimes a finished version of a comic would only exist on one computer, but not another.

Thankfully, I STILL had those transferred files sitting on my web server (also, I found A TON of other files on there, which I should probably clean out one of these days). And, more importantly, they were the finished versions with the completed lettering. Hence, we have stayed on schedule…so far.
