Well, um let's see...<P>for starters I COULD do a quality comic like Scott Kurtz does EASILY.... I can draw good if I really have to... as for art classes... let's see, 1/3 of my major is art classes.<P>The fact of the matter is I can only give SO MUCH... unlike many other artists out there who have "quality strips" I go to class and work with my classes anywhere between 12-20 hours A DAY. A comic can take up 1-2 hours a day and well, let's just say I really have to rush things just in hopes to make a comic before I pass out for being too damn tired.<P>If I could spend 8-10 hours a day working on a comic... just imagine what I could do. Starting in August when I have a little bit of free time come back and I'll show people what I could do if I had the time.... I know that my art isn't the greatest, I feel though my writing is getting there... but as I said, I'm still developing my characters and I've only been at this for a few months... and I should be doing SOMETHING right if Calvin got nominated for best supporting character.<P>But anyway, here's what I want to get across to people.... criticize my work, that's fine with me because it only makes me a better artist... but to come out and just say "your comic sucks!" and have no reasoning what so ever behind it is just plain and simple being a pure asshole. <P>Anyway, thanks for your comments on it, I really do appreciate it. And I hope that in coming in August you'll come back and maybe take a look at what I could be capable of doing if time allowed me such.<P>------------------
