For simple text on a page, I use the Stan Lee rule. 30 words per panel maximum. I used to break it, but that's just too much bullshit, especially in a single-page-serial environment like webcomics.

Not necessarily the most complex, or outrageous, but I think that the things my characters say are the things that my friends and I would say. Only with a few extra "fuck"s thrown in there. Because I find inarticulate people to be more ...

It has taken me months to crawl back to where I was the two times I've been on hiatus. People generally hate irregular updates more than hiatus though. That is why all my readers hate me.

Mouth cancer is cooler. They'd get a wooden jaw like Sigmund Freud. Like some kind of Old Timey "Jaws" from James Bond.

Dude did you know that Jesus wants us to beat the shit out of anyone who wrongs us? It's in the bible, you just have to look a bit closer.

There have even been cases of botched circumcisions down here that were so severe, the doctors decided to perform gender re-assignment on the infants in question. Dick cutting is not awesome. Those little baby strap in stations for circumcision are terrifying too. I have no idea why my parents had ...

Smoking is still so VERY cool. Problem is I only like the upmarket ones like Nat Sherman Mints. Fortunately, I can't get them easily in New Zealand. I'm only in trouble when I'm in America, which is increasingly more often...

Damn you parents, for passing on your filthy smoker genes to me.
