Thanks for the wellwishing. Banner ads aside, is being on CG, on Webcomicsnation, or on your own ISP reallly considered a reflection on the professionalism of one's comic? To be clear: I don't think switching to or from Comic Genesis hosting will change the gravitas of my comic-- neither of my reade...

I do realize that this does not mean I will be shunned in the forums. I just wanted to mention it, and also ask if there was anything I had to do from the CG end. (Does this mean I have to alter my link to "NInja Vs." now? Oh, pooh...) Nope. The old URLs should all either have pages or forward to pa...

Comic Exodus (or, I've left Comic Genesis)

For a while now I have wanted to do things that I couldn't readily do here. Over Spring Break, I finally wrote enough PHP and Perl code to hold my site together. Since I own the domain, I just pointed it at the different server. The site has not split apart at the seams, so I am not apt to come back...

Also, you cannot selectively grant a license with CC licenses. If you make your work available for others to write derevations of, for example (one of the options you can do), and someone writes a story with your characters in it that you don't like, you have no recourse. This is true if you pick a...

This is: A review To be up front about it, this is not a comic. It is not really a story, either. It is an illustrated series of paragraphs. Each installment is a short prose sketch of a person, place, or thing, accompanied by a drawing of it. The result is quirky and original. There is nothing else...

changing the masthead

Since Ninja Verses is down to once-a-week, I have decided to run some other stuff occasionally. I don't want to have the 'Ninja Verses' masthead graphic over comics that aren't nv-style ninja comics. Is this possible with Comicgenesis? One way, I guess, is to have the title graphic among the daily f...

I was guessing that's what it was, but most of the legitimate sites on the list had no links to my site on them anywhere, so I was confused.

Thanks for the encouragement. I am thinking that I'll continue to have a new Ninja Verses cartoon every monday, and then perhaps something else later in the week if the mood strikes me. However, I don't want to have the 'Ninja Verses' title graphic over comics that aren't nv-style ninja comics. That...

Re: Webcomic trade paperbacks

Has anyone here played around with releasing a book of their webcomic? I'm curious how much profit you get from a single sale on average. The answer depends a great deal on whether you are having a whole print run done or doing it through a print-on-demand service like Lulu. As FAUB mentions, the f...

Should I start a new comic?

I have, on occasion, shaken up the basic Ninja Verses formula. I've done a few flash animations and a long-form thing, Regular Ninja's Guide to Chick Tracts . However, I occasionally come up with ideas that won't do as ninja stories regardless of how hard I squeeze them. (I've attached, as gratuitou...

Yeah, some fans will be turned off by the slow schedule, but others (like myself) will keep on chugging, because they honestly enjoy the comic. It's a trade-off between your fans and your sanity, and only you can decide where that balance lies. It is not clear that updating more often actually gets...

The old font returns?

So... yeah. I liked the funky serif font. Comic Sans is a splinter in my soul.

I suspect the the retcon is motivated more by Ralph's malaise than by any objective problem with the present situation. To consider an example: If he isn't coming up with new plots that fit into the Ben as Arcadeowner continuity, but he is thinking of plots given a different context, then it makes s...

Thanks for the feedback. The only suggestion i'd like to make is that you put a link to that page up on the pages in the archive ('cause i didn't see one anywhere on the site), and then reverse the sides you put the panels on. Done and done. It was good, i enjoyed it, i'll look forward to the next o...

I'm bumping this because the serial arc has finally concluded. I am interested on feedback as to whether the change from my regular format worked or not. Should I stick to one-off gag strips? The segments are in the archive. I've also assembled them together with the tract that I'm parodying next to...

A decent number of searches for ninja this or ninja that, but these take the cake:

Prating Mantis

uncle ben kenobi

I guess they split the cake into three pieces, but a third of a cake is better than a kick in the eye anyday.

I like the new font.

Yes. I like the new font.

And I still think that the characterization has a groovy thing going.

I am genuinely interested in the characters. I want to know what happens next.

But this post is about the font.
