Comic Genesis Forums

Greetings! I recently released my first published book, "The Picpak Dog Collection", on lulu.com. It's 96 pages, features 6 months' worth of strips, and also contains my Facebook-exclusive comics, rarely seen art, and unseen early sketches! You can find more information at http://www.picpak.net/shop...

Hi everyone, I've done a lot of much needed housecleaning since the last time I've posted here. I've moved to a .net, added an About page, updated the Cast section, tagged and categorized my comics, and added a Facebook page, Twitter, and even a formspring.me for those that are so inclined. There's ...

Hello,

I used Siteadmin because FTP was down. I re-uploaded the comics and now they work. Thanks!

Hey guys, For the past two days, the comics I've been uploading have been getting split through the middle and distorted. When I double check them on my computer, however, they're perfectly fine. I have no idea what could be causing this error. Is something wrong with the server? Here's an example o...

My comic updated too! Hooray! Thanks people!

Just a quick question, but can someone please explain to me the point of the upload queue? I'm sure it has its reasons, but the fact that it's what's holding our sites back is what frustrates me. All those ***tags in your indextemplate need to be translated into the more complicated html. Everyone'...

For some reason, the comics on my site haven't been updating for the past two days, even though there are strips uploaded and ready to be put up. I've tried doing manual updates through Siteadmin, but to no avail. Has this been happening to other people or is it just a problem with my comic? If so, ...

I hope people are working on this. When the site told me there was no data I was worried some hacker may have deleted it all.

That's right! Picpak Dog has hit 500 comics ! (actually, it's 498, but who's counting?) To celebrate, I'm putting up for you a special 5-part comic. The series will continue every Sunday. Here's the link to Part 1: http://picpak.comicgenesis.com/d/20090222.html Stay tuned next Sunday for Part 2! Als...

...have wanted to upload their latest comics with 2008 as the date?

I almost uploaded tomorrow's as 2008, but stopped myself before I did.

Welcome to the fantastic Picpak Dog forum! Wanna discuss the comic? Got any comments, suggestions, criticism? Did I misspell a word in panel 3 in comic 2146? If so, be sure to point it out here. Since I'm not gonna treat you like babies, I'm just gonna lay down the basic rules here: No spam. Unless ...

Thanks!

I didn't see anything wrong with your post; I've bumped threads on this forum with even less to say with no problems. Don't worry about it.

Comic Name: Picpak Dog

Comic Link: http://picpak.comicgenesis.com/

Description: Talk about Picpak le Chein, Picpak der Hund, Perro de Picpak...or even Picpak Dog.

You should try looking for inspiration in other places than your favourite comics. For what it's worth, I do run a Calvin and Hobbes website. However, the first strip I posted in this thread felt familiar to me, but for this one I had no recollection of it at all. And it's a lot more similar. It's ...

Ok, now this is just getting creepy:






Am I gonna end up stealing an entire comic strip's work and not even know?

I colour the strip on the computer. Other than that, almost everything is hand-drawn. I tried doing it digital for a while but it looked terrible.

Hand lettering is sort of inherently superior for hand drawn comics. I think you should continue to do it. (Your comic is charming, by the way.) I don't think "hand drawn" is the key word there: I think stiffer, more realistically drawn comics benefit from computer lettering while bouncier, more ca...

That is my final verdict. It looks out of place with your loose style. If anything, make a font based on your own handwriting rather than a comic lettering font, if you have to type it out.

Now there's a novel idea. How would one go about doing that?
