Re: my two bits

In 90% of cases you simply go under the radar. Why would Disney bother about me defacing their characters? Now, Disney is the definition of humourless. It's all hugs and gold-plated toilet seats at the Disney corporate offices until someone touches a property, then the air itself burns. Also... I'd...

Re: my two bits

You'd more likely try to hire a lawyer, then realise that they're too expensive [...] Noone in webcomic world is strong enough [...] Well, perhaps one person... and then perhaps not even him. We play around and have fun, and joke with each other. But what happens the time when we come up against so...

Okay, joke seen. Will you play nice and be friends and take the images down?

Moral of the story? Hell hath no fury like a disappointed fan. Yeah, I spend a lot of time at the LOST Bitterness Fiesta message board. Part of the success of such enterprises might come from zeroing in on what the "neediest" subset of your fans really, really wants--whether it's MarySue-ism, porn,...

Besides: It's okay to hate things if they are bad. Especially if they are really, really bad. Now, is it true he makes an income from his comic? (I am apparently blind to snark today.) If it's not actually popular, I can't see spending any energy on hating it :-? If it really is popular and profita...

More, from another quick glance (I'd give it more than quick glances, if I only had the time). On the ToC page: Sometimes the by-line says by , sometimes it's capped, By . Please be consistent.

I won't edit for little things like commas and the sort of minute nitpicking I'd normally do, but here are some comments from a very very quick read: Webcomicing [hmm, what's the accepted form? I'd have said "webcomicking" to avoid looking like "icing" or any "-cing" verb such as "policing"] is a p...

My name and comic look fine in the ToC. Nice looking ToC, btw. I like the little preview images.

A typo jumped out on p 7 of the PDF:

Well, you’re [should be "your"] comic is up and the website’s available. Now what?

I haven't read the rest of the text yet, though.

my two bits

If it were someone doing this with my art, if they used the entirety of my art just with different words (as it's been described here), I'd sue their heart-patterned underdrawers off for going beyond the legal limits of fair use and parody. (Now, if they asked me first, perhaps we'd reach an agreeme...

We have more than a week left, though. Let's see what we can do! For some reason I thought there was more time to get together money. I just got paid, so in a couple of days I'll have my share, at least. I won't get naked, but I'm always glad to volunteer my characters to do a striptease for dollar...

When I was in school/uni, I seemed to have time for infinite art, writing, and film projects, even with a double major. I don't think I ever slept. Ever. Nowadays, if I pull an all-nighter to get a project done, I feel hungover for the next two days. And the later it gets, the more creative I might ...

One of the reasons I started doing a kinda-sorta-daily webcomic was to get back into drawing after a couple of years that a hard and arm injury made drawing stiff, difficult, awkward, slo-o-o-ow, and icky. I've gotten faster at drawing, but as I start re-incorporating details (facial, background) in...

btw, when I get paid I'll be tossing some money into the pot. The bank deducted two credit card payments from my account in the same month, and that put me waaaay into a tight situation. Verdarned bank.

B&W, because I like B&W as an art style. I love working in watercolours for non-comicky stuff, but don't enjoy colouring digitally except for the occasional special comic where I don't mind spending hours on a single image tweaking it just right. Colour is great for showing readers that the ancient ...
