Neither could The Flintstones. They're just The Honeymooners in the caveman days.

I'm with Cope on this one.

Rising Sun now has a wordpress blog! Check the first post.

Submission guidelines are up. Anyone who is going to contribute should PM me.

If I don't get enough submissions on the net for an anthology, I'll can the project and contributors can post their comics wherever they want.

IndyPlanet got back to me! They say I would basically have to accept the profits like normal, and then just donate it all myself. So it's an extra step, but I guess it wouldn't be much hassle if I keep track of weekly or monthly sales and donate the exact amount like clockwork. That's assuming the a...

Visit the blog for updates and submission guidelines. My email is under "about".

We had a competition last year at Yoyogames.com where people threw an indie game together using the theme of "discovery" however they liked. One guy made a brilliant and beautiful stealth game where you played a mouse creeping around, dodging booby traps and killing gun-toting rats with a combat kni...

It was fun!

1. Any particular characters jump out at you? Only Ian, and only because he always seems to be browbeating people over something. 2. Did the characters make you want to continue reading the story? Not especially. Nothing about the characters or their situations makes me care about them: they still s...

Crap, I dunno if he understood our replies. Know any multi-lingual forum-goers who can translate the last two posts?

And/or moronitude.

The art is cute, character designs mostly consistent. I also got a couple laughs out of the goings-on and the visuals (giant dragon lying across a mountain in depression, underlings laughing at their masters and whatnot). Overall it's better than I expected, and probably an above-average webcomic. P...

Deadhead Zero is now listed on Topwebcomics! If you like DHZ, express yuh luv by voting!

Or you can just post something here and vote in spirit.

In either case, thanks to everyone who's been keeping up with the comic and putting up with my delays.

It's definitely better, but it would still benefit from being redone from scratch and without a copy-paste job. Making the joke more concise would help you a lot. The last part with the intern isn't really necessary: you could end it nicely with the "sucker" bit. You can definitely leave out the bit...

The Myst comic suffers from "wall o' text". You need WAY more panels to accommodate all those balloons, otherwise you may as well just write a script and post that. You can fix it by drawing a panel for every pair of word balloons, which means you'd have to redo it from scratch, but it'll be better ...

I'm having computer issues of the terminal variety, and won't get my new machine til mid-December. So updates won't be as easy as they used to be, and therefore will be more sporadic than usual (cough cough). I know it's been a while since my last update, but the comic isn't dead or on hiatus. I'm s...

I'm already writing about zombies in my main comic though >.< No reason not to specialize. In fact, it's encouraged in most mediums. Years ago I jumped around and tried several different types of comics/stories at once and almost never finished a damn thing. Then I read somewhere that it's good for...

There's nothing inherently wrong with doing speech balloons and lettering by hand. How do you think professional comic book artists and cartoonists usually do it? And there's a variety of ways to make it look good, but I think the two most important things are to make the letters legible and to make...

Darkdetective wrote:(It's quite embarrassing looking back at it, really.)

Tell me about it. I've pretty much trashed all my old art and comics except the most recent ones. I couldn't stand looking at em....

Oh man, horror comics are calling your name. You should experiment with it using this style. The last panel is a little tough to make out though. I'm sure if you work with it more you'll refine the style enough to make it clearer without losing the gritty, nightmarish quality. I bet turning some of ...

Depends on the project. When writing horror I usually have creepy ambiance playing in the background like Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, Quake, Doom 64, etc....
