Well some more good news. Readers would be overjoyed to hear your favorite webcomic (No, not XKCD) was featured in more newspapers and even got it’s face on the TV. I would like to take this moment to thank all those…

Pandering to the media

So anyway… This week’s Sunday Business Standard did an article on guess who, and guess who is posing in a weird way.

Busines Standard article on Fly You Fools - An indian web comic

NDTV Metronation has a program called Time Out, and last week they did a short section on Indian Webcomics. If you can’t understand what I’m saying, it’s OK. No one can.

    Congratulations Saad!

    Now you have moved from being simply Saad Akhtar to “Sad Actor!!”

    (Erm, sorry! Couldn’t resist that one!! :D)

    And about the video, you could use the Comments or Annotations feature available for YouTube videos. Just a thought. :)

    Cheers!

    @ srikant

    Sad Actor is my copyright (so better not use it). I already used it to represent Saad in my webcomic.

    Thank you, THANK YOU everyone. Thank you for reading, digging, sharing, stumbleuponing, facebooking, redditing, commenting, posting, indianpading, emailing and spamming these comics to others and making FyF more and more popular. :)

    Enough self promotion for some time now. I was away from the computer for some days (It was hard), but now back to the serious business of making comics. Expect a new one tomorrow (or failing that, day after, or failing THAT.. the next day).

    @anshul: Really? That’s strange, because I came to know about your comic through that NDTV Metronation program. What a coincidence. ;)

    @subin: Thanks :)
