If the above was too long I change the page color, just give me a thumbs up or thumbs down on it.

Wow. Just looked through some of the archive, you have some amazing stuff. It reminds me of Men In Hats. Keep it up.

Cool, thanks for the input guys, I think I agree with most of it. Really my drawing "skills" arent as well developed as the writing so I have tried to minimize it as much as possible. Besides the minimalistic approach I have been thinking and experimenting with some photographs as a possible backgro...

Hi. I have been doing a cartoon off and on for about a year and I recently started updating seriously. Basically, TightSight is a gag style strip that is often morbid or bizzare. There is no story or uniting theme, just that I'm looking to be very "out there" while at the same time remaining funny. ...

I read the surprisingly negative review above and was prepared for the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The writing is quite good and the art isnt far behind, I laughed at nearly every strip I saw. The characters werent that well developed, but they dont need to be. Most of the...

Wow, I can't believe you have such large buffer, and your updating every day! However, I would say that if your newer stuff is better I would throw some of it into the early mix right now to give people some sort of impression of what it will be like in the future. That being said I think some of th...

I use GIMP for all my cartoons (cough cough, as seen at the link below) and I find it very useful. I learned most of what I know about GIMP through tutorials and just working with it, practice makes perfect. I'm going to link you to some of the tutorials I used and then fill you in on some of the ba...

One of my birthdays is in July ...

Guest art: can it be anything or does it have to correspond with your strip?

Do you guys think that as mostly webcomic authors/artists we (at Keenspace) are a bit more picky than most people? I would tend to think that some people are just more picky than others as far as preferences go, whether they be a reader or a creator.

Truly an abstract view into the divisions that guide our contemporary cartooning society, it has webcomics examiner written all over it.

Edit: Holy cow, that would be a hilarious cartoon strip, no joke. Sort of an "artsy-parody" type strip with stick figures, you could easily update every day.

1. You might try the gimp. http://www.gimp.org/ Yes. GIMP is a bit complicated but infinitely better than paint. I made the switch and not only did my images get color but they got nice and smooth as well. Its a bit tricky to learn to use (like any photo editing program really) but once you know yo...

The art style you have going is amazing, that alone makes the strip entertaining. I really like the characters but disagree with some of the more crude sexual strips. Then again, sexual humor has never been a big hit with me so I would say that if its your style keep it up.

Anyone know why the same five newboxes (Fuzzballs, Many Tidings Grim, Pre the Red, Super Tight Fight, Risen) always show up? They cant be the only five cartoons with G ratings and I'm pretty sure not all of them are rated G anyway.

I hear you, getting that initial audience can be (is proving to be) impossible, this is definately a good place to post though. The website looks great, and fthe art is also top notch, but from a glance over the first few strips in the archive I would say the story is developing too slowly. The prem...

First, it seems that part of your archive has disapeared, this happened to many people and you should be able to restore it by simply moving all the items in your public_html/comics folder into public_html/d/. As far as motivation goes there are a number of things you can do. Somebody mentioned musi...

Is it too late to join?

Yikes, mine take anywhere from three to six hours depending (of course) on the size and drawing. I saw a lot of other people here take just as long or longer but a lot of the strips they are drawing are either longer or much more well drawn than mine. The drawing is usually the longest part but ofte...

What really jumped out at me was the way you did the latest two strips in black and white, its a unique style. The color ones (I'm on 56k, havent been able to get that far in the archive) look good to though, I wouldnt go about changing anything. I do see your dilemma, the first two strips were abou...

I just thought of some more people that would be cool to interview, they are not on keenspace but interesting nontheless: George Lucas (Creator of "Star Wars" film series, I really like them but so far they are still underground), Charles Schultz (Creator of peanuts, hes dead but dont let that stop ...
