I had just assumed that in our silence we were all providing backing
vocals for Thomas' next album...

You can never go wrong with distended alien lesbian lebia sex. ^_^ Although
the anthropologist in me kept thinking about the Pan paniscus. Mind you, I
was expecting her clitoris to suddenly turn into a tentacle.
On the subject of comics, I just found a small press specifically for
printing comics that is really inexpensive, much less expensive than
Cafepress's POD service.
http://www.comixpress.com
You might want to pass that along to your friend if he/she's looking to go
print anytime. They'll even set up an online store. This seems to be the
best small press pricing I've found for comics. I'm hoping this will finally
get me off my lazy ass and working on the Ghastly's Ghastly Graphic Novel.
I've been wanting to start a new webcomic series for some time but I'll
likely wait until I've moved off Keenspace before I start it. The new one
will be a drama, something completely different from GGC. The new comic will
also be in regular comic format, not yonkonmanga (4 panel) format like the
current strip. I'm hoping the new comic, which won't be focused on sexual
humour, will be at least as popular as my current comic. I've been taking a
lot of guff from fellow webcomic artists lately who claim I'm only popular
because, in their words, I produce pornography. Personally I think it's just
bitter grapes that I have more readers than they do. There seems to be a
misconception that if you produce a comic with adult material it will become
an instant success. What they fail to realize is that thousands of comics
have tried the "tits for hits" formula and their corpses litter the
internet. It's a silly assumption when the most popular webcomics are all
rated PG-13 or below. I seriously doubt anyone is reading my strip for wank
material. I'm just not that good an artist. Writing is more important than
artwork when it comes to comic strips. If you don't have solid writing,
people arn't going to keep coming back.
And in other news, a webcomic artist who bought adspace on my site is going
to buy more ads. I appearently increased his readership by 15000. Woohoo! I
love it. Makes me laugh with glee at the foolishness of my old sponsor
(especially since I'm earning more money now).
