Now THAT's a comic that is REALLY on the alternatrive side, WITHOUT neglecting story or art....

Have NEVER seen ANYTHING like it...

Thanx for sharing the link

...point taken :wink: You're probably one of the best advocates of the dead tree comic community on the board, Ashley, and THAT's the reason I like your comments most! ...but what if digital comics become "easier" than printed (choose the kind of paper and leave your seat to get 'em) comics? Won't e...

I wonder if there are already comics that ARE radically different in their online and print versions. (A little like Vinyl vs. CD vs. VHS vs. DVD vs. ... different media offering the same product but enhanced/offered in a different way!)

You should check this out! I've known the "Non Sequitur" cartoons for a long time, and Wiley always hit the nail at the right angle, but he REALLY gets the point across here (even if he is probably unaware of the discussion we're having at the moment) when he's talking about "print media vs. digita...

ermmmm.....

The "all-form-no-content" complaint tends to overlook the historic function of such periods, however. Hardly any of the aggressively experimental creators working in the last ten years were really turning their back on storytelling for good. I have to say it feels great to see that this is happenin...

I've been through the resolution dilemmas with a friend of mine. I'm not much of a web expert (though 72 dpi or pixels/inch is considered standard ... this may soon change due to the availability of broadband connections and better monitor screens), but I went through the complete print dilemma. The...

Technically, a comic published via e-mail is published on the net, since e-mail is part of the internet. It's not a webcomic, though... unless perhaps both the sender and receiver are using webmail systems. Then it might be a very odd webcomic. Yup, you're right 8) ...tecnically, webmail-based comi...

Hemingway was one of those dudes that got their ceativity AND writing skills when drunk. Other writers like to be drunk when inventing stories and characters, and sober up when writing the actual stories. The excellent short-short-short-story writer Fredric Brown didn't like to write, so to get HIS ...

Maybe creativity has nothing to do with exploiting talent? I mean, what if dope, getting bored or good music is ok to get the creative flow going, but you need some real talent to turn that creativity onto paper! Rip gives the example of the dope-inspired Fab Fur Fr eak Bros, who weree very "inventi...

Beware of Humongous Redtailed Horny Devil Monkey!!!!!!!

As for the drugs, I have tried some (alcohol, cigarettes, even a little dope), and even when my creativity was stirred a lot (like with alcohol or pot), it didn't make me more "able": I had ideas but no drive nor talent to put them on paper adequately. Also some of my ideas were plain bad, but my fo...

webcartoons are cartoons published on the web (the internet) A webcartoonist is the guy that makes them. Some say the cartoons have to be made especially for the 'net; others (like me) feel fine if they were intended for print first but are being published online. To me, when it's on the net, and it...

Mind-numbing work stirs creativity. I feel it is probably because not only ART is escapist.... the creation of ART is escapist too: it brings you into a world of your own(creation), thus giving you an alternative to something boring. I myself am extremely creative when doing something boring, but wh...

I think video games, as much as any human artefact, has a right to the title of art. Sometimes it will be good art, sometimes it will be bad art... Depending on what you call good or bad, this will take in account entertainment value or it will not, of course, but IMHO the entertainment value can on...

Pardon my hippie idealistic art talk, based in no way on feeding a family or anything like that. -Casey Don't worry 8) Your hippy talk won't be taken into account :wink: You DO raise a point, though, because the point of most art is to make money, and often to rfeed a family. Happily not ALL teache...

Yup! That "stop" sure sounds Godly to me!

Deus Ex Monkeytown!

Oh yeah, is it a private joke of Scott's to have "Super Colossal Ultra Hero Monkey" spell S.C.U.H.M.?

Thanx to you all!

I've got an idea now of how I'll make my webpages and so on....

...and it seems to go quite well!

Thanx for helping me out, I hope it helped out some fellow newbies too

I'll keep you all updated about my project. Little hint: it's about Hamsters

How do you e-mail normally?

Didn't know it WAS possible to send mail without smtp

What e-mail do you use normally? Web-based only? Or do you have a program like "Outlook" installed?? Try to check the settings for that program: they might hold the answer

I've been posting at comicon for a week or so, and have to say that, while most of the guys are quite nice, some of them (even comics artists) can be quite taken by fandom and/or their own work. I almost got into a flame war without really knowing why :D I actually prefer this board because I feel i...

Thanx Scott (I already read your standard answer on your website, but you reminded me of some things I would have jumped )

Anyone else?

Are there online comic sites who let you copy their HTML free of charges? (I wouldn't like to get accused of pinching other people's work)

I've got an idea for a webcomic strip and would like to get started on it this summer (holidays are comin'!) However as I'm a total newbie to HTML, how should I get started? Are there any other guys who have faced the same problem? I have a fair grip of design (Illustrator and Photoshop), and would ...

I believe this is one of the reasons why comics are so important: They are very popular because they make use of images to convey meaning... a little (though this is of course a clich? which doesn't say half of what is true) because you start "looking at the images" before you start to read! They ar...

I've read (very) early MAD issues, and remember them spoofing things like Litterature TOO! To understand something like their "Raven" spoof, or their "Moby Dick" spoof, you had to have read the books! Actually MAD used to also spoof things they VALUED, 'cause to understand a parody, you have to know...
