EDIT by STrRedWolf: On request, and seeing some good from the origonal head, I've split this topic off. This is discussion of the ideas presented in the Beginners Guide to Big Pimpin'.

Whoah, someone draw this guy some fanart or something because this is some info I could use. (as well as countless newbies around the globe)

Someone sticky this thing because this is need to know shiz!

(oh great, he's got me saying shiz now... I kinda like it, hehe. Too bad I can't pull it off....)

So is black magic out of the question?

Technically speaking, aren't pay comics the only "ho's"? Phalanx is officially a pimp[ette].

Of course, one has to build up a good sized archive first, otherwise the visitors will come once and then leave right away...

*thinks about it*

Nah. I prefer doing that sort of thing with spacers. Much more fun.

Somehow this sounds an awful lot like selling one's intergrity...

The Neko · Post by **The Neko** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 6:34 pm

That's prettymuch what Hollywood is like.

I'll let a little integrity go cheap if it gets me a few extra hits

Heh, I hear that!

Oh, and we just put up a strip featuring Soap and K-Dawg if anyone is interested

I'd put a notice in my update section about the cameo...but I don't update. >____>

When I get to doing it again, I'll note that page, though.

Fanart! Fanart everywhere! I did do one for Schlock Mercenary which knocked me up into the keenspace top 10. Slightly different case as I know Howard and I knew it'd be up on the front page before I started.

Fanart is cool to do when you want to, but this sounds like way too much hassle. If I wanted to suck all the fun out of my hobby, I'd just go to work.

I'm not really concerned if "everyone" sees my stuff. Those who do generally like it.

Amen! Couldn't have said it better myself ^^

No offense, but to me, you always seemed to be doing this. You got away with it because you're very good at what you do.

Muahahaaaa! We're all ho's here! The difference is the form of payment you know?! Free comics get paid in popularity and readers abd merchandise and fanmails and cult followings.

Pay artists get less of that (though we still can get cult followings (See Ursula Vernon) )but we get payment in cold hard cash as well

Very good post Van. Most of the stuff's common sense, but you'd be surprised how rare common sense is.
