He decided on the thousand words instead. Not quite - even with his sig, he's one word short. (No, seriously... out of curiosity, I copied and pasted the text into a Microsoft Word document and did a word count, and after taking out things like the dashes that Word spuriously counted as words, it c...

Hmm... so what could you offer instead?... Loxie & Zoot temporary rub-on tattoos?

You know, I mentioned earlier in this thread that I had another comic, under a different name, that I tried to do just in pencil and it looked horrible, so when I revive that comic I'll ink the strips this time... but ... it just occurred to me that there's yet another comic I did, under yet another...

That makes them a Mary Sue, doesn't it? :cry: Nah... it takes a lot more than hairstyle to make a Mary Sue. In fact, I don't think Mary Sues generally look like their writers at all; they generally look how their writers wish they looked... In fact, I'd say they certainly can't both be Mary Sues......

For most people, I think it hinders. If you plan and script in advance, by the time you get around to putting the comic up, you've been living with that comic for weeks. It's old news and nothing to get excited about. Quite honestly, in my case, had I not had my comic planned out way in advance, I ...

I wasn't going to participate in this, because (1) I couldn't think of any characters in my comic that I could easily dress up as, and, more importantly, (2) for no good reason, I didn't want to reveal what I look like. Then I realized I could dress up as a cultist of Xak'lar from this storyline , a...

This website claims to be have complete works of H.P.Lovecraft... Hm... I'm guessing Arkham House Publishers , which currently holds the copyright on all Lovecraft's fiction, doesn't know about that site... (And very possibly vice-versa... the maintainers of that site may not realize Lovecraft's wo...

While JRR Tolkien invented the whole fantasy genre, we didn't care too much about Gandalf, Gimil, or Legolas. Gah!!! Sorry to derail the discussion here, but you've touched on a pet peeve of mine. Tolkien did not, not, not "invent the whole fantasy genre". Among the many fantasy authors who came be...

<A HREF="htttp://www.avalonhigh.com">Avalon</A> was/is also done in pencil. See the <A HREF="http://www.avalonhigh.com/about/">about</A> page. For my part, I, uh... well, I had a comic on Keenspace that I drew in pencil. Though it hasn't been updated with a new strip in a while, that comic still exi...

I wouldn't start merchandise until I had a year behind me and a ".com" domain, but that's just me. Hey, I've been around since 2000 (albeit with an inexcusably inconsistent update schedule for most of that time) and have a .com domain; does that mean I can start merchandising then? :wink: Seriously...

And that's an example of GOOD character developement? That sounds like something straight out of an episode of a soap opera. Find me a webcomic character development that beats it. But actually the example you gave had nothing to do with "character development" at all. That twin-assassin thing is a...

Not sure I subscribe to his theory, but there is some logic to it. Problem is that thieves tend to go for easy marks. If they notice the car's unlocked, they're likely to go ahead and steal stuff from it even if they wouldn't have otherwise. Heck, if you make it that easy for them, they may just se...

A four-tined spork?

I think all the sporks around here only have three tines.

(Now for some reason that made me think <AUSTRALIAN_ACCENT>"So now we're here looking for the elusive four-tined spork..."</AUSTRALIAN_ACCENT>...)

Because IMHO, in real life people don't make long speeches without practising in front of a mirror first Heh... you've never been around me and some of my friends. Oh, yes... and my mother. Definitely my mother... And a certain long-winded associate professor at the USC Space Sciences Department wh...

Personally, I would rather live in New York than Los Angeles. Reasons: The weather. Yeah, I know. People rave about the weather in So Cal. You know what? I hate it. I want <EM>seasons</EM>. And I don't like the heat. Really. I know New York gets hotter than Los Angeles in the summer, yes, but for a ...

Wal-Marts aren't all that common in Southern California, either. There are a few of them around, but certainly not one in every town. I think until fairly recently there weren't any Wal-Marts here - Wal-Mart is, or was, mostly a Midwestern thing - but unfortunately Wal-Mart's evil influence seems to...

Eh... what the hey. I guess I'll join in. I'm not going to attempt to judge my strips on humor value or writing, because I don't think I'd ever be able to pick a "best" and "worst" on that basis (though there are definitely some I like better than others), but as far as art... Well, all my early str...

Uh... and those consequences would be...?

Just out of curiosity, you understand.

I didn't say years either. Since you seemed to be disagreeing with my statement that CYS would not be considered "too young", it seemed to me that you were implying that CYS was too young, i.e. that its over a year's worth of strips would not be enough. If that's not what you meant, then I misinfer...
