I'm not proud... well yeah, I am, kinda.

Did you know that by drawing a whole whack of shemale oekaki BBS pictures and then posting them on alt.binaries.pictures.transexual.action you can boost your readership by over 1000 readers in one week?

Err... so I've heard... from a friend... who wasn't me... who did it.

Sooooo....

What's the most shameless thing you've ever done to promote your comic?

actually, something I was gonna try was to take some comics, name them things like "schoolgirlpanties" and "boobs", then put them in my shared folder for Kazaa... I'll do that now and see what happens...

I see you're really going for that niche audience, aren't you ghastly?

Heck, as it stands, Ghastly's got quite a non-comic reading audience with his artwork. And by artwork I mean...giant flying zippers.

I once used my own character in a fan art I made... I'm ashamed, I really am...

Oh, and I shoved several cameos into the new Power Puff Girls game on the PS2... Hey, I'm leaving this friday, I'll f' the game up as much as I like ^.^

I've considered sending gift art to Japanese hentai sites as a way of trans-Pacific promotion. Can't allow the comic deficit to grow, y'know.

The most shameless self-promotion I've actually done is posting on various messageboards with two banners in my sig

Nothing, really. I hate my comic. It sucks.

Oh there's something I didn't think of... putting a whole bunch of adverts in my images directory with names that will be hit frequently with googleimage searches.

Putting the word "icon" in your text somewhere's also a good way to rustle up some traffic. I mentioned Lilo & Stitch and had a link to an unrelated buddy icon site and I kept getting hits from that keyword combo. Though in Ghastly's case, I feel sorry for any grade-schooler who happens to stumble into his page from a disney icon search on Google.

I once got a letter from a hentai site offering me money to draw the stuff.

My most shameless promotion was an ad campaign back in January that used banners with a naked lady on them. I tripled my readership in a week...

What!?!? People will pay you money to draw hentai? How do I get in on this. I'd like money for drawing hentai.

Yeah, me too- I have a whole artbook full of images, all they need is posting or publishing! And I'm unemployed, striving to live my dreams in an under-fed, over-beaten economy...

I HATE YOU, ECONOMIC RECESSION!!!!!!! >_<
