Millions of people have money. Is it not a good idea then to look into fertilizer sales?

Ok, let look at it this way. Given: Rayne of Least I Could Do is a May Sue (if you have a compelling argument against this postulation I would love to hear it, keep in mind that he beat up superman with a kryptonite yo-yo and your answer must explain that.) Least I Could Do is one of the more succes...

But Rayne Summers has been a Sue for like forever. I must admit that Least I Could Do was the impetus behind this post. Here is a comic where the Sueness transcends a single author’s power fantasy and becomes the power fantasy for a collective. The fact that Rayne Summers is a Sue is part of the suc...

Sort of the point. Everybody hates Westley Crusher when he saves the enterprise. But if Westley Crusher when on a angry tear about how Goths are lame and then proceeded to kick a Goth in the crotch repeatedly he probably would be the most loved character ever.

So we all like to complain about the Mary Sue. The self insertion character that can do no wrong and is blessed by the world in general. The are boring and run rough shot over a story tearing it to pieces. But is there a way to implement a Mary Sue that will lead for comic success? Is there a variet...

Ok look. It's just got a contract with the lower rate sent to me earlier this week and frankly I felt like the biggest freaking idiot in the world for not taking the higher rate when offered. The higher rate could have doubled my income and allowed me to do some work on the comic I have been wanted ...

Does anyone know why my last post was invisible?

Fair. I missed the bus. Wowio is not so good a deal now. I make more on my own that I would with the new rate. It just looked like one of those Ugandian lottery letter when I got it at the last minute like that. To my chagrin the lottery was real this time. Joel your examples are not really being fa...

Other factors: A) My parterner was unreachable (very ill). I would have had to sign the contract with out his consent. B) The contract is confusing. It looked like I was giving up my intellectual property rights. I did read it but I did not understand it. I had to go to a lawyer friend to find out w...

So we are agreed it was my mistake. Clearly I should have signed an unsolicited contract with a very short deadline with out fully understanding it or consulting my partner because he was on vacation. That's just good business sense. Yes I guess am upset about the missed opportunity. There was no wa...

I didn’t know you could do that. I didn’t know you could sign and not produce content. What’s the point then? Why the rush to sign? Could I have signed the contract and never produce anything? This is what I am talking about the whole thing has a weird smell to it. Anyway I didn’t have time to read ...

You have a point. It was my choice to not sign up. The last minute notification had a oder to it. It was probably an honest mistake but still I was not going to sign anything with that little time. And the business practice of giving a permanent higher rate does bother me a lot. If I am to take resp...

Ok I need to talk something out. December 28 2007 I got a letter from Mike Miller of Wowie reminding me that the deadline was fast approaching. Seeing that I had never heard of any deadline I sent him back a letter asking what the heck he was talking about. Well it turns out that Wowie was cutting i...

The percentage of people in that category is possibly much higher than any of us would care to admit, too.

101% from my experience. (margin or error + or - 1%)

Well I guess it is not so much of an argument here. I am a lover of good drama particularly in webcomics and I appreciated how hard it is to do right. The statement made my blood boil a little. Still in hind sight this post seem a bit pointless. Sorry.

Scott Kurtz of PvP has recently asserted that writing Drama is easier than writing comedy. Personally I believe the exact opposite. Now nether Scott or myself has ever written drama in our lives so I was wondering what people around here though. Is drama easier, harder, than comedy. Are comedic stri...

I won't be writing a submission but I can't wait for the public voting. Hopefully there will be be some good reads.

I hope so. I have not gotten a big response as of yet.

Any ideas where else I could post this?
