Hey, <P>I'm the cartoonist on Life at the O: <A HREF="http://www.lifeattheo.20m.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.lifeattheo.20m.com</A> . I'm also a big fan of Warp 9, though I just recently found my way into it's forums. Anyway, I'd be much obliged if you guys could go check out the strip. It's not too old, we've only been around for a little over two months, but we've gotten a nice little readership but woefully little feedback... to cut to the chase as it were, I'd like it a lot if after checking the strip you could maybe give your impression, suggestions or praise regarding the strip. It'd be especially great if Mofo or Usagi could help me out with their thoughts.<P>thanks<P>-Wayne<P>(because, it's good to be good)

so far the three that I've enjoyed the most are the one with the squirrel's face, kinny talking about the perilous realm of outside not being so bad, and of course, Captain N IS real.<P>I'm not sure what I think of the animal-like drawings of people, but it's a change from the normal style (well at least from the comics I read).<P>So far though it does seem to be enjoyable.

I likes it. The art's fucking tight, the jokes are funny, and the characters are likeable. The "SIR! YOU ARE A COCK, SIR!" was pure genius.<P>You might wanna work on your bubbles some more... centering the text was a great start. Play around with making them more rounded and less oval-shaped. You should also think about saving the strips as gifs. It'd get rid of that "wrinkled" look around your lines. And with black and white art, you can save with a minimum amount of colors for quicker loading.<P>Anyway, keep up the good work. I'll definitely be going back.<P>------------------
