Or any of the long-ago days either.

I sure wish the acceptance was that widespread, but while it's growing it's still largely denegrated in circles outside of the comics community. (Who correspondingly sing the praise of 'Cat's furball on NY Times'...) The part about film I see, but every movement has had a corresponding influence on ...

So, I was giving a speech in (wait for it) Speech & Rhetoric class, and I decided to use that time to pitch comics as art, and webcomics in particular. Since I was expressly fudging our given topic (political persuasive), I pointed out places like this, where the inate philosophy and aesthetic chara...

Isn't gavzad...Gav's Ad? As in Nukees?

Or is that an enormous presumption?

I voted yes because I'd like to see rkolter's dreams come true.

Nope, there's nothing wrong with that at all. Your numbers- you may do with them as you please.

No, but dudes...Robin Williams <i>is</i> Teh Evil! Seriously, you've got some pretty funny jewels in there. Injokeyness and bad text colors in parts, too, but don't get discouraged. If you can, do an intro strip for those not in on your chatroom. And let the characters come to be themselves within t...

Damn. That's some seriously hot researching action right there. The schizoid librarian in me needs a cold shower.

Update: I got a <b>job</b>. This miraculously pays for such things as ...paper and stuff. I <b>put up</b> a 'what to do whilst waiting' thing (topic below this one), since my FTP was being all wierd. None of these are actual comic accomplishments, thus I punish my psyche by not being able to put ast...

*falls over*

39th addition to this insanity seems about right. And I know SixFootPeter was in the first very very few granted (in fact, before KSpace was up), so 6 seems right. Looks like a good reference to me.

Update of unimportance: Thought, "Hey, it's been a while, better not leave people hanging." I notice, from thread views, that there are a number checking up. Thanks! I've been insanely busy, and have only gotten character doodling done, really. Hopefully that means we move right past any awkward dra...

Question on RSS feeds, being totally illiterate when it comes to such things: This means that anyone can include it right? So someone can put it on their homepage or something. If progs can nab it...why don't such things as Comictastic besides just being totally anti-ad? Or is that it? In which case...

On a totally seperate note, I don't know why some people are changing their view on Comictastic...except response to people who oppose it, which is pretty irrelevant to the program itself. Personally, I don't have a current comic at stake, it just pisses me off that someone's ripping people, absolut...

I mean basically it shows the comic with an adview from the site. It, theoretically, loads the page, adview included, perhaps with slightly altered content-- like, maybe, the comic, ad, links to forum, shop, main page, whatever the author wants. The author controls it. It gives the reader the abilit...

Hey guys, I wonder... If a competing service to such things as Comictastic was produced, which allowed the comic to be displayed either with the entire page or with relevant and obvious links to important site portions, and was entirely opt-in and on-consent only, would you join it? Would you suppor...

Good to see you back around Rory.

You technically own one now, so you know. According to copyright law, you own your copyright, though any proceeds legally have to be via guardian, I believe.

A general rule that I was taught in actual fights might work well towards this: Aim a foot past the guy's head. Basically, when exagerrating something for effect, try out thinking ahead of the movement you want to portray by a bit. Sometimes thinking 'behind' works as well, like a pronounced windup ...

I don't like Comixpedia because it doesn't limit itself - if the program sought out an 'ok' file and downloaded the comic if that file was present, then I'd be happy with it. But the fact that it's basically designed to swipe the comic off your site without your permission, removing it from it's co...
