Any time I am using my brain for something else, ideas come to me,

like now that im employed... tonnes of ideas

so if want, do.

For me it was finding the format. I have tonnes of ideas, a lot of imagination and a very keen interest in comedy.. but a very short attention span. I found a way to get my ideas down quickly, with enough room for humour, in a system that is restrictive in a way that encourage more creativity and in...

Thank you . It is always a pleasure to have someone who reviews comics and doesnt judge them simply on whether they are good or bad. And yeah, with E and Mu, It doesnt mean anything... or it can mean what you like... like anything really... Something's effect is always going to be limited anyway, it...

Hey, I know the week is up... so this request is if you have time, or are bored... I'm sure you won't feel pressured to do it if you don't want to.

There are only 72 single panel comics. Probably about 20 minutes. I suggest starting at the beginning.

Cheers

Places where I get inspiration the most:

1. Whilst reading
2. Watching Documentaries

5. Going to sleep
6. Conversations

The second you stop pushing your limits and experimenting is the second your comic becomes unworthy of attention. Amen to that. And I think that applies not only to your audience but to yourself as well. If you aren't pushing any boundaries then your walking in your own footsteps, and you already k...

Anyone notice that Yeahduff and Thesuburbanletdown have the same character in their avatar?

Ive just created a forum for all of us who are trying to learn more about comedy and making people laugh. What i'm trying to create is a space where comic artists and comedians can get together with a topic or the first two lines of a joke and the community brainstorms punchlines. Or someone has a c...

Does anyone else find it hard to get people to review them honestly and critically though? In your case, it's probably because of your comic's content. Your writing isn't horrible, but it doesn't save being put off by the art. You don't have to be have great art - take White Ninja for example, but ...

Does anyone else find it hard to get people to review them honestly and critically though?

I'll admit i like the idea of someone pioneering a new genre, although I dont think it can be done purposefully that easily. It would take alot of "jamming" and mixing of ideas to stumble across something both new and comprehensible. And you can't be doing for the sake of pioneering or with the expe...

Why is it that most comics are very similar? Why do so many fit so neatly into categories. It seems odd to me that artists, and I mean people with drawing talent, like those i have seen on this site, that they could make comics about ANYTHING they wanted, but so many end up exactly like all the othe...

Hey, I've finally drunk enough to post my "comic" here. From the other boards on this forum ive noticed the people here are intelligent, but relentless. I expect no holiday from you. I would like to know what you honestly think of E and Mu. As of today I have 40 single frame humour/philo comics http...

"Humour is simply something unexpected, set up with subtlety and delivered with drama." - Joel Fagin Out of curiosity, are you quoting yourself? Because there's humour in that. :wink: Also, that's the first description of something as complex as comedy i've seen that starts with "is Simply" Energy ...

In my never ending quest to learn about humour I'm finding myself wondering what other people think on the subject. What are your theories on comedy? Does anyone here have an idea about what makes something funny? Anything: Formulas, theories, anecdotes, checklist requirements, comedic conversion al...

Ive been getting very excited since i started reading these forums intensely.

Seriousness has gone up but enthusiasm has skyrocketed... And Enthusiasm carries alot of weight. Alot. Shitloads.


So there you have it.
Im excited.

Thanks guys.

Would it be sily of me to ask what decompression is?
