life in a Gun Shell
In the summer of 2006, Matthew Grissom and Andrew Mussey started writing a comic as a hobby. After 4 comics, the site was put online, and it became a bi-weekly effort. LiaGS was written and published every Tuesday and Thursday on AJAMA.org. After a couple months, the local paper, the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, picked up the comic and started running it in the it! section of the Weekender.
In 2007, AJAMA.org underwent a redesign and separated the comic published in the paper and the comic published online into two different subdomains: liags.ajama.org for the uncensored web version, and itliags.ajama.org for the strip run in the paper. Later that year, updates to the online-only comic were reduced to once a week. At the beginning of 2008, updates ceased. The paper-published version was updated every Thursday until a short hiatus was taken in March of 2009.
Due to budget cuts at the Free Lance-Star, the strip was reduced in run time and moved to a black and white spot in a Friday section. The site, after falling in to heavy disrepair, was moved to LifeInAGunShell.com to improve ease of access and allow for better linking.
As of Febuary 12, 2010, Life In A Gun Shell had 212 released strips with 150 published in the Free Lance-Star. All of the comics can be viewed at http://LifeInAGunShell.com.
