I was wondering what you think of the plot so far. Oh, and the gags too. I'm thinking that things are probably moving too slowly (although to be entirely honest, I've no idea how to fix that right now) and the humor's been...pretty mediocre (and that's probably being generous). I may just stop trying on that last part. <P>Tell me what you think. Please? I'll give you cookies!

I think that all that this comic is, is great! It's all very good made. I worship this comic.
BUT YOU NEED TO UPDATE MORE OFTEN!

Ah! Thank you <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> I don't know...I think I initially wanted this to be a funny comic, and it just seemed to me that no one really reads a serious serial. Recently, though, I've become quite convinced that I need to focus more on the story and less upon cheap gags. Things will speed up soon. <P>Anyhoo - thanks for the input, guys. I'm going to try to be more regular with my updates in the future. If it's ever late, that can most likely be blamed upon some form of homework. (Ex: The 7 hours of dynamics homework I ended up doing one night last week.) I still haven't decided whether my new schedule is MWF or THS, or whether I'm going to cheat and say it's once a week but keep doing three times a week or so. I can't make any more promises (since I can *never* seem to keep them,) but I will give it my best. <P>Thanks for just being here,
G<P>

Never try to force a joke. It's good sometimes to have a serious strip, or a plot move-a-long strip to keep the momentum going. If you work up a good rythum, the jokes will fit right in and you'll stop feeling awkward about them. I tried forcing punchlines in my comic when I just should have tried something else to keep it going, and it didn't feel right to me.<P>------------------
