I've figured it out! You need to have a really good webpage design. Then the quality of your comic won't make a difference. That's got to be why all the good Space comics aren't spotted yet. Their page designs are too simple. I'm going to start making my page look like a Microsoft expert designed it as soon as I can. Of course, I'd have to make the comic art down to the level of a 9 year old, and replace any sharp witty content with knock-knock jokes, but as long as the page design is good, it'll be suitable, right...?
...This is sarcasm, folks. All I'm saying is that more KSpace comics need to be 'Spotted as soon as possible. I'm going now.<P>------------------

</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Nah. I'm just saying that people who CAN draw but have a simple page design are ignored. No Keenspot comic has simple pagework, it's all nicely done, not too many of them have simple work, and the ones that do are the ones that were put on when Keenspot was still brand new and didn't have such high standards.<P>------------------

the TRUE secret to getting on the Spot involves more than talent, web design, and whatever qualities you associate with a good strip.

It's like that really comfy chair that you can't throw out. You know, the one with the salsa stain (and I'm still REALLY sorry about that.)<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by rtist54:
