Journey Into History
I haven't posted here in a while but I thought I'd invite you all to take a look at Journeyintohistory.com. There are nearly 100 pages of art up and the main story's in it's second issue. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Bob Stevenson www.journeyintohistory.com http://www.journeyintohistory.com...

24 hours of Journeyintohistory
At 10:00AM - Eastern Time - August 5, I'll begin. Every two hours, I'll post the results on-line. All the work will be digital so by 10:00AM Wednesday, it should be up and reading.

if I can't get a few extra bucks from overseas by publishing on the web, I'm doomed. Good Luck. Do you have any work posted on the web? You haven't included a web address. In response to your comments about support in Belgium, do you really want the government funding comic projects. One of the pri...

I've been waiting for the web to become the great democratizer of entertainment for a while. A few years ago, I assumed that by 2002, we'd all have incredibly fast connections and access to high-resolution streaming video with stereo sound. Instead, I'm still worried about load-time for the majority...

The closest thing in print I can think of is the Acme Novelty Library. Some of the pages in the large edition (I can't remember the number) contained hundreds of panels. It was still confined by two sheets of 11 by 17 but I think they achieved some of the same feeling of space and experimentation as...

I never considered reading web-comics on anything other than a casual basis until I had no other choice. I recently moved to an island without a comic shop. The newstands carry ten year old comics whose covers are faded and staples are rusted. I've found three places that sell newer comics though on...

I like the two directions that flash comics are taking at once. On the one hand, it's useful for innovations in presentation of comics. On the other hand, for me, it has been an important tool for speeding up production. In the past, I penciled and inked by hand, scanned, adjusted the contrast, brig...

Could, should or has the web-comics community set up their own set of awards? Awards could be given for best weekly, monthly, daily, strip, long-form, design, comic site, maybe even best virtual action figure. Could it be that we spend too much time worrying about what the print comic world makes of...

Great theme. I like your combination of the word of the day and a theme. It was tough coming up with a first panel that had both direction and openness. By the way, my panel referred to Sacco and Vanzetti, the two anarchists who were unfairly tried, convicted, and executed for murder in part because...

Thanks for bringing me back. One of the first programs I wrote on my brand new, 4K, TRS-80 color computer around 1979 was a name generator program. We used the names for playing D&D where random was practically the name of the game. I'd had no idea they were still out there. The formula was laughabl...

I like it. The only problem is the load time - I'm on a 56K modem and it takes forever but it's worth the wait. I imagine most people joining modern tales are on fast connections though. My wife teaches Spanish and she applauds the glossary. I speak enough to get by but it still made for interesting...

I don't think we should wait to start another jam. I just spent too much time trying to figure out what happened towards the end of the last one. I thought I'd throw something together to put it to rest but a couple of the cards wouldn't load. most importantly the three of hearts. I have no idea whe...

I'm with Jack on this one. The frame to frame "huh" that he seems to be going for (and gets) is one reason I'm still interested in comics. Isn't a lack of continuity in itself a kind of continuity? Nice work on the rectangle strip Jack. Parts of it seem to speak to this discussion. Bob Stevenson Jou...

OK, you win. I've been lazy about subscribing to Moderntales but now I've gone and missed your update while I was out hiking. Thanks for some great work. My $30 is on the way.

Your first panel doesn't give us much to go on. Most web-comic artists need to be interested in a project before they'll jump in. Most of us have our own projects we're interested in working on so any time spent on a jam is time away from the drawing board or paid work. The 52 Pick-up jam on this bo...

I've seen things off and on over the years in print. I even actually did a couple instructional comics for a model airplane magazine on flight physics. On the web, a hard drive tutorial done in flash was posted here a couple of months ago. It allowed you to zoom in to examine the guts of a had drive...

Crossgen interface
A few very small pieces of the Crossgen interface interest me. The growing word baloons seem useful at first glance but comics on the web have lots of solutions for space issues. I'll keep it in my hip pocket but I don't plan to use it too often. It became annoying two pages into the story. I also t...

Sorry to bother you. I think I've solved my own problem. Our system administrator told me to try playing with the meta tags in the header. That seems to do the trick. For anyone who's interested, the tag that works for me is: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="500"> The 500 tells the browser to ref...
