We’re opening the new year with another guest comic by Doug Fiala, who has produced the first ever .gif. This is some high-tech stuff here. You may have to click the picture to see it in action, though, depending on your browser.

In Going the Distance, our main character, “You,” has to manage to make his way to delicious cake. Sounds simple, right? But there are deadly spikes to deal with, and a host of other problems that appear each time. Let’s just say You fails more often than You succeeds. After all, it wouldn’t be much of a quest if You could just get cake whenever You wanted, would it?
