Guys! Hawt doesn't do justice!! Look at those eyes.. and face...

Hawt is too... sleezy sounding in this since. Only words like Ravishing could even begin to touch the surface of her amazing features.

Now for a full body picture! :P




Colors? what? oh yeah there good too.
I'm glad 90's style forum signatures don't exist anymore.

I did enjoy the black n white stuff, but I admit that color is probably the way to go with this strip. You lose some of the energy the black n white had, but it looks much more professional now. I'll of course read it either way.

It's funny. After Weirdism ended and this one began, I was thinking, "What the hell? Where's the neat coloring?" And now I'm lamenting its return. I'm an idiot.

And also a brand new page done in color from scratch here on the homepage It will be challenging having to rediscover these techniques and figure out how to create equal atmosphere using colors instead of crazy scribble patterns. How am I doing so far?
This is awesome! Also, I really really really like your avatar. This must be good avatar season or something.

I always thought your comic needed color, especially when I'd go to it through your banner. You have all that lush color in the banner, and then I'd be disappointed to find it to be in black and white. So bravo to the color. :)

I think that the colors really are great and they compliment your comic, in my opinion, much better than the black and white.

Couldn't be truer. I also really like the way you reworked your style to work with color (i.e. the backgrounds and lack of scratching). A lot of people seem to forget this when going from B/W to color, but drawing for color is quite different from drawing 'as-is' in B/W, so congrats on getting that right. :D

Well, in any case, I think that Pyro needs a cold shower.
No, actually, he needs a portable cold shower that should be attached to his back and sprinkling him all day long.

I think you're definitely better in color. I wouldn't go to lettering on the computer, though......the lettering style gives the strip an extra little 'labor of love' look.

I'm an old school kinda guy when it comes to my comics......all by hand...although I quit doing hand lettering.....*grin*
Life comes at ya pretty fast....double tap to the head if it does that!!
