How to finally get some strips finished.

BJ · Post by BJ » Thu Jan 17, 2002 3:29 am

Any and all guest strips and guest art can be sent to my email address that doesn't suck too much:jackiesfridge@hotmail.comWhatever goes on the main page (like, say, each JF strip) should end up 670 pixels across, but can be any height (within reason, here--I don't want a vertical strip 670 pixels wide but the length of an undone toilet paper roll. that's silly).If you need a template, feel free to grab a strip, print it out at your desired size and trace the box. My originals are 15.75" (about 40 cm) across and 5" (nearly 13 cm) high.Octapus: I had planned on posting your colour versions on the archive pages with my own finals once I finish them, with comments in the annotations. If you'd rather see 'em on the main page for an update, please let me know. S'okay?------------------

Just an idea - since Jared is deaf, would he be able to communicate with the Fridge? I guess that this depends on whether the Fridge actually speaks or if it's more of a telepathic thing. If Jared can hear the Fridge, and if the Fridge can understand Jared, there's a lot of comic mileage to be had in such an exchange. Especially when one takes the other character's reactions to this into acount.Also, has Jackie permanently moved into the house she built with the Dannys? If so, is the Fridge there too?

Hm. I just logged in, and it seems okay. However, I notice my brother tried attaching a slew of photos to an email he sent yesterday, and none of 'em seemed to upload properly (they're all broken images at 0b apiece).Please try sending it again--maybe by cosmic coincidence both of you were trying to send at once? If it doesn't work, I'll have to improvise, since my other email addy is worthless.Monster: I'm not sure if Jared and the Fridge could communicate. That's (obviously) something I never even thought of. As for Jackie staying with the Dannys, you'll have to wait and see. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">

Weird, it's still not working for me. I have the strip sitting on my portion of the keenspace server, so I was just sending the url, no attachments.The message I got back says:
>>> RCPT To: jackiesfridge@hotmail.com
<<< 554 No relaying allowed - psmtp
554 jackiesfridge@hotmail.com ... Service unavailableAnyone else having this trouble?- Matt

I'm going to do a guest strip! Feel free to toss out my crappy art if it's unacceptable.------------------

You should have my guest strip now, BJ. I think you'll like it. It's silly. Jackie turned out reasonably well as an anthropomorphic fox... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">------------------

It'll run in a couple weeks, and there'll be a lot of furry fans (that's fans of furry comix, not...well, you know) who just might enjoy it to the extent of the law.

Though seriously, BJ, with that tentative schedule of yours, it looks like you might end up with more work for yourself over the catch up period, rather than less. Nothing wrong with just two real strips and one fake strip per week.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I think JIM's right. "I'm gonna get caught up, so I'm gonna update EVERY day instead of just three! Evil!" is what it sorta boils down to. Me thinks the pig got your soul again. Stomp him, and probably go with the three strips a week. And there's my two cents (raised to three in June, of course) <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">

Hey, BJ... did you get the guest strip I sent you? Because I think my email is acting screwy.--Flaming Moose
