Some interesting ideas at http://www.urbanpixel.com/corporate/pla ... ml#mapping

I'll let you know if something comes of it later this year.

Yes, it shows. This is a very well-designed board.

Great meeting you at SD, Greg! Thanks for the great work.

Nice art, Scott, the first time I read your response I didn't even think about it, I'm so used to you using illustrations, and then second time through I was like, "wow, did he make those just to reply to this"? Those were transparent gifs that I uploaded to my own site and pointed to as image tags...

This speaks to the difference between autonomous narrative animation ("see Spidey punch the villain then jump away...") and short looped animation like the stuff found in "When I Am King" and some of Cat Garza's comics. The former tends to present two different methods of representing time, on confl...

...and he's put a Paypal link on his main page. Let's reward this amazing work now!

Remi Scholten, the Chief Operational Officer Net Actuals/Cartio sent me the following information: "Our standard merchant edition is free of charge (no acquisition fee, no connection fee and no monthly charge). We only charge a 20% fee on transaction bases. The minimum transaction value is 0,01 $ an...

Y'know, my Dad was a chief engineer at Raytheon in the 70's and sometimes we'd get these photocopied missile flow charts that we used as scrap paper with chilling boxed labels like "kill" and "assess kill." Interesting how there's no explicit sequence to these things, but the hierarchies create an <...

Yikes!

We're gonna have to start calling you "Saint" John.

Thanks for the hard work, Man. (God, I wish I had more Time!!)

What does everyone else think about that? Pro? Con?

On my donations "thank you" page I have a comic called "Why I'm not Neil Gaiman" and I actually encourage readers to download it, so yeah, I assume once you've paid, you should feel free to keep a comic. If there is a read-once price, it should be lower.

Okay, it's official. There are now too many to keep track of. I almost think we need a messboard called "Micropayments" and each contender gets its own forum or something... This is a gigantic topic with important implications. I'll promote the Hell out of the first one I think has it all, but I don...

Yet another has contacted me: http://www.cartio.com They're Dutch, but definitely have international plans and already have the Dollar supported. Just in Beta as near as I can tell, but they seem pretty serious. Who wants to do some more legwork? :wink: <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Sc...

Trails are similar to Arrow-based comics of which I'd seen only Art Spiegelman's comic "A Day at the Circuits" when I started this whole thing. Basically a more extensive use of the old laid-this-out-badly-so-now-you'll-need-this-arrow-to-know-where-to-read-next arrows that showed up from time to ti...

AND put that dirty ice back in... Oy!

See ya soon, Pal.

Hi David -- I always assumed that the degree of freedom of movement within a comic would be at the artist's discretion. For a non-linear open-ended work, that lattitude might be pretty broad; for a suspensed-based narrative, it might be pretty narrow. All depends on the narrative intent. This is sim...

"a 3-D structure of 2-D images would still qualify, as well."

I agree.

I agree with Max.

All you need is a "temporal axis." In the case of Trajan's Column that axis was a rising spiral. In most cases -- like a row of Statues showing the 7 "ages of man" for example -- it would just be a straight line from left to right.

Actually the Zoom-through comic is a stand-alone story called "The Right Number," (nothing to do with Zot). It uses Flash to create the *appearance* of zooming but it's all smoke and mirrors of course. Don't look for it anytime soon. I can only work on it part-time as usual, due to the dysfunctional...

We will at San Diego at least!

"The Art of Digital Comics" is the first panel, Saturday at 2 pm. The "Business" panel is at 3 pm, same room.

Keenspot's panel, btw, is Thursday, 4-5:30 pm.

Steve Conley has posited that micropayments must automatically lead to the end of privacy.

I, um, disagree.

I'm tired...

Looking great, Greg. Thank you.

Oh, and lest anyone doubt it, my response was entirely about the text piece.

I think we can all agree that the P-A Parody of me itself was sheer genius.
