I never worked at a fast food place. The closest I came was a bussboy for a cheap family restaraunt. That was a horrible job. 6-3 most days. I'd come home smelling like a mixture of smoke, grease, and the bleach we used in the towels. Another thing was that we didn't get a break in the shift. So we ...

My personal favorite is Joe. Joe was very much like me when I worked at Target Sports, a Detroit area gun store. While I felt a certain loyalty to the store, I had become so disillusioned with the customers at that point that I had stopped really caring about what they wanted or how quickly they wer...

You could UPS the kitty. Im sure UPS wouldn't mind assuming you packed it with like a bunch of popcorn. Of Course that brings up the issue of air, and of food and water for that matter. And I have a sneaking suspicion UPS plays soccer with small packages at the warehouse. Maybe you could just mail t...

A great, FREE resource for beginners

Hello, hello I have had this site bookmarked for about a year, and I had forgotten about it until the other day when I pulled it up and remembered how useful it is. http://www.yoyodyne.net/loomis/ It's called the Loomis project, after Andrew Loomis, an artist with a gift for figure drawing. In any e...

Question about the logs

For those in the know, When viewing the logs for your site, I pretty much understand the majority of it. The question I have falls under the topic of Visits versus Hits. Most admins have mentioned that the Visits total is the more accurate account of people on your site. Are visits, unique individua...

I think micron pens are probably your best bet. They have the feel of a ballpoint but produce a MUCH smoother line without alot of bleeding. As for the color of your comic, it's a bit sketchy and is obviously marker. If you can develope your skills so that the marker lines are less obvious, than fee...

I have to agree, I think your best bet is to ink over the original art work on vellum, it will be much cleaner and alot easier than trying to ink in Photoshop. If you have access to a light board you may not even need to use the vellum and just trace or regular printer paper, if you are concerned ab...

Mr. Whiner Photoshop is generally very good at compressing images. Your best bet is to save every image with the 'Save for web' feature, and then choose the 4-up option. This should give you a four pannel set up with four different versions of your comic. The one on the upper left is generally your ...

Katherine, well I'm a far cry from a professional. I am heading into my third year at a Art College here in Detroit, so I guess for all the money I spent, I should probably be able to sound like I know what Im talking about. Bristol board is kind of expensive. I use it for my strips, but they are sm...

Hey, I was actually posting this for the artist who started the post originally, since it seemed that strip was done only in pencil. I went over to your Code comic and checked out the Evil_Scriptwriter character and left a rather longwinded reply in your forum if you care to read it. Hopefully Corru...

Hey, Nice artwork. I don't know if you are still looking for advise, but I was just curious if you gave any concideration to inking your artwork. From the looks of it, you just scan in your pencils and put it up on the site. Inking might help make the line work a little clearer and help define the f...

Yes,

same here. I haven't been able to access either ftp, or my main page all day. Most likely a server problem. It seems to only have affected the newly activated accounts seeing as how I can access the other keenspace comics fine. Hopefully they fix the bug soon.

Keenspace automation question

Just a question about the nature of the automatic update feature. Along with my comic, I would like to update the site news that runs below it. The news is just a few paragraphs of text and I was wondering if there was anyway to update it on a daily basis. If not, can I just have Keenspace update a ...
