I'm excited to announce the Calamities of Nature Guest Strip Contest (also known at the CONGS Contest for people in the know). I'll be picking the 3 best strips submitted to me from now until December 22nd . The 3 winners will have their comics featured as the December 28th, December 31st, and Janua...

I think the more muted colors of the last few comics are really great.

Wow, what is going on? I think this is the first time I've started a thread and subsequently had no idea what people were talking about!

Maybe I can take requests and make a little money off of this.

Uh...this thread took a weird turn.

Thanks for your positive comments.

If anyone is interested, I recently gave my website a facelift to try to make it more user friendly. Check it out and tell me what you think. I am open to any and all suggestions (as long as they're good, duh!)

As for positioning the characters, in Scott McCloud's recent book, Making Comics, he has some great tips and examples. Another thing I have found helpful is to watch a movie, pause it, and then sketch some of the characters during dialogue scenes. This provides some great examples of how to position...

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your humor and am impressed by your daily schedule. Keep up the good work.

I've noticed you've used a number of different styles for your word balloons. Any plans for sticking with one, or is the idea to use a variety of techniques?
