What do you guys think about my comic idea?

Rydog23 · Post by **Rydog23** » Sun Jan 07, 2001 2:50 am

I have this idea for a comic where the super hero is named Lepor Man. He fights crime, and he has lepracy. His side kick is named Big Head Boy, and the villian is named Mr. Bodsworth. I wanted to know if you guys thought it was too contraversial or not. Some of the people I have asked say it is wrong, because many people still have lepracy, but others say it is funny and I should do it. Please, I need some input. Thanks!------------------

The FILTH and the FURY!no,wait-ive got something better to say!
just do-and then plot a graph based on how many death threats you get in how many days-if the z value is twice the y value you might want to move countries and change your name <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">[This message has been edited by deathbringer (edited 01-07-2001).]

Okay... that was strange. Just kidding. Okay, my scanner is working now, and I have some drawing of the main characters of the comic Leperman! Here they are!

Awww... man! One of the pictures isn't loading up. What that picture is, is a drawing of Leperman and some stats about him. For some reason, I feel like I really want to do this comic, so I think I will register to do it. Some input(serious input) on it would help. Thanks!------------------

It's "leper" and "leprosy." If you can't spell it, you shouldn't make a comic about it.Read the Thomas Covenant books for a good take on leprosy in the modern world.------------------

Oooh... harsh. But, somehow, exactly what I was thinking. The comic will be MUCH better if you do some research. For example... the upcoming plotline in <A HREF="http://www.schlockmercenary.com">Schlock Mercenary</A> was a great idea that I had to spend hours researching before I could get it right. A buddy of mine built a SPREADSHEET I could use in order to get certain things right. Yeah, I know, 'it's just a comic,' but if you force too much suspension of disbelief all at once, you'll lose your audience.There aren't that many lepers in the world, so you run little risk of widespread public outcry. By the way, you can get leprosy from armadillos--I read an article about it a while back. The only US states with leper colonies are also states with the highest incidence of armadillo-flavored road-waffles. I am not making this up.--Howard "I used the word 'road-waffles' in a sentence without mentioning Eight" Tayler

Thanks guys, I guess. I know I spelled leprosy wrong, but I spelled leper right in the two last posts. That was funny guys. I have registered and I will get my account in 2-4 weeks. Who knows, maybe I'll go to San Diego next year for the comic convention. Keep looking here because I will soon have my comic going. Thanks!KOWCLT (Keep on with Caleb's Love Thang),

Hi, I'm Troy McClure, I mean Ryan Harle! You might remember me from such posts as, "What do you guys think of this?" and "Hi! I'm new!" All right, I have created 2 more "bad guys" and 2 more "good guys." Among the the names are Funky Chicken Man and Silent Ninja. To see pictures of them you'll just have to wait until my comic is up. Right now I am just waiting until they can get me my account. Until next time, I'm Lenord Nemoy, I mean Ryan Harle.------------------

-Hey, my new comic titled "Leper Man" will be on this site soon. It will be at leperman.keenspace.com. Check it out in the future, but it is not up now.

The great thing about the internet is it helps us to know we're never alone. If I have a problem, I can find thousands with similar problems. If I have unusual tastes, I can find thousands out there with similar tastes. If rydog thinks he's funny...------------------

Who the hell cares what we think? If you like it, do it. The audience will follow. And if it doesn't, who cares? Unless you're only in this to make a buck. In that case, you're screwed anyway.------------------
