There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call Webcomic Time. Webcomic time is what we here at Screen Tones call the phenomenon when you think a scene will take a week, but ends up taking a year to get through, whether due to how the scene comes to life on the page or the posting frequency of your updates.
