Aside from the fact that it's a silly and weird little piece of work, it's technically better done than post webcomics. As you read it, some panels are downright sublime . And others are equally clumsy or sloppy . How much space do you really need to devote to the grounded chili-dog, especially giv...

Unlike Becks, I loved all those 60's Underground Comix. Sure, some of it WAS crap, but a lot of it was genius. There also alot of crap, today, on the webcomics front. In every genre, during every era, there is always both quality and crap. I think the ratio of crap to quality is greater with webcom...

Re: Oh, flash!
The way it looked for me was pretty pixly, as well. Pixly? Pixelly? Well...it's an image on a computer monitor. If "pixelly" is a real sticking point with you, maybe you should stick with print comics. I don't find it any more pixelly than any other image on my monitor, certainly no more so than an...

Hmm...wrong Dennis, I'd say. Beantown native Dennis Leary seems like the obvious choice.Chronosome wrote:I'm thinking Dennis Miller as Sean and Carol Kane as Sophie.
Speaking of movies...

Intentional or unintentional reference to Sling Blade?

There may or may not have been a Citgo billboard in the park at some point, I donno (I'm not actually a Beantowner, though I've visited the ol' Hub City frequently, just a Sox fan by virtue of there being no Major League baseball here in Denver when I was a lad - though what we have these days hardl...

Again- NO ONE OUTSIDE OF A VERY SMALL GROUP IS BUYING COMICS. I do not dispute this, nor have I at any point in this discussion. The Japanese comic market has proven that the wider public can and will buy comics because the choices have always been there for them. The superhero companies have margi...

I picked super-hero, because that's what I first read on a regular basis. The first comic book I ever read was probably an Uncle Scrooge reprint (or something from the Disney line). I might have gone for "a mix," though, because at about the same time as I started in on the X-Men, I also discovered ...

Great, now go ask you mom, neighbour, or boss who these three people are. Then ask them who Superman is. I think you'd be surprised at the results. Irrelevant. My mom doesn't know a thing about any comics artists, but she couldn't pick a recording artist younger than the Beatles out of a lineup, wo...

It's only healthy for superhero comics, everyone else is shit out of luck. You can repeat yourself ad nauseum, but you haven't refuted my statement - that a majority of the people who take an interest in non-superhero comics started out reading the long-underwear stuff. Take a look at what are argu...

Don't let this summer's movies fool you, superheros are not crowd pleasing. Superhero movies are. That's why you have to crawl to the Androids Dungeon to by Spiderman. You are, deliberately or otherwise, misinterpreting me. What one calls a crowd is a matter of context and scale, and as the comics-...

...if there's a current business model that might change in the next few years, why not position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it? No reason at all - but what I was responding to was the animosity towards Marvel. Marvel's not what I'd ideally like to see out of a comics company (th...

Sure, it's a shame that a newspaper wouldn't recognize him for doing his own original stuff... But on the other hand, he's getting recognition in the paper for working in the comics field. That's something - even ten years ago, I can't imagine any paper in North America running an article saying, "H...

And of course, people should be doing it in print AND online. But why not have some more people do some great stuff in print? Why not make things better? Well, this brings in the problem of someone going "Well, I can pay $30 for this... or I can view it for free online...hmmmmm". 1. How much longer...

Another thing I forgot to mention in my post is that I think it's silly to see formal experimentation and "clear storytelling" as mutually exclusive. An excellent point. Experimentation can take a lot of forms. To use the cited example of this thread, Thompson's Blankets , there's a quality to it t...

Re: why has scott become iconic?
Silly boy, it's Gavin MacLeod . Just for that, you don't get to sit at the Captain's Table for dinner. Actually, isn't it also Scott McLeod, and he uses McCloud as a pen-name for clarity's sake (i.e., so readers don't refer to him as Scott McLee-Odd)? I thought I'd heard that somewhere... "Do you a...

Indeed, New Englander John F. Kennedy was notorious for the "phantom R" during his presidency - he appeared to be dealing with Soviet missiles in a Caribbean nation known as "Cubar." Still...trying to get across an accent in writing is difficult. Though Scott's effort here may have certain inconsist...
