Lo-fi died during September 2001 for a variety of reasons, none of them very good. I still think it would rock, but it needs a hellraiser to keep everything together, and when I started at Designskolen I ceased to be that guy. -- For more info about creating MMS, don't miss <a href='http://www.forum...

You are totally correct Greg, "phones are fer listening' to; not lookin' at," - which is exactly why up until now the screens on phones have been so small. Or at least that is the way it was. For many people these days mobile phones are used just as much for sending text messages as they are for pho...

Hi everyone. I have not posted here for a long time. Design College and a new baby daughter are keeping me busy. OK, Comics for phones. Comics on phones are going to be huge. Much bigger than webcomics ever have been or will be. BUT, forget browsing on phones. Forget browsing because as of yet the n...

Suggesting that this system is similar to what Scott envisioned is stretching the truth. Vtech offers a database where you can upload your comics. Vtech then charge customers for downloading your comics and give you some of the money. Everything happens at their website. The interface is not designe...

Both Google's cache and The Wayback Machine give pretty clear instructions on how to remove your sites from their archives. So if you leave your site there (after finding that it is there) then it is not a copyright infringement, because you are giving them permission implicitly by not removing it.

Is there anybody here with a huge Infinite Canvas type work that is too big to start because a way to manage and structure it is missing? I believe that a <a href='http://www.free-conversant.com'>Conversant</a> based website could be the missing link for some (depending of course upon the nature of ...

The story and artwork aren't up my alley, but the concept they are playing with is great. I liked it. In particular I enjoyed the way the ambient background noise changing in relation to the panel being viewed. Also, the ability to zoom into a panel and get much more detail than possible in the over...

The said "pre-programmed infinite canvas" doesn't exist. So I can't give you details. The angle I'm coming from is that I know that I would pay for such a pre-programmed infinite canvas, if the price and the features were right. Thus I am wondering if others would as well. If enough people were inte...

Hi Max,

I also find the larger lettering in your second strip an improvement over the smaller in the first.

(The rain going past the panels, instead of just past the windows also tickles my fancy (as would an ambient looping rain animation)

For the last two weeks I've been reading <a href='http://www.flipandmick.com/'>Flip and Mick</a> every weekday via my WAP phone. It costs me a little less than 3 US cents per time, more if I cruise around the archives, as I'm paying per minute. Normally though, I just load the toon, then disconnect,...

Would anybody here pay for a pre-programmed infinite canvas? I.e. someone else has done all the programming, and you simply buy the canvas, tweak it, or customise it, and then fill it up with your own content. Kind of like paying for hosting on a webserver, but instead of just getting a blank harddr...

I like this a lot. Not only for the zoom-abilty, but also for the ticks (footprints of where you have been) but also for the simple yet ingenious yellow lines pointing to related categories. It would be nice if there was a place like javascripts.com or flashkit.com where people that had made huge am...

Hi Marek, This skins idea you are talking about. I've had a similar thought but have not mentioned outside my head yet, maybe you would know if it is possible. OK, You know how some messageboards will automatically 'translate' a smiley into a little cartoon icon of a smiley? I think the same thing c...

Good idea Scott. Doing it every morning takes advantage of everyone's habits. For example, I've put the page in my daily bookmark list (It's right there on the list under <a href='http://castlezzt.net/spongy/'>Spongey</a>, Jack Master's experimental comic). Going totally overboard with the effects e...

I love my version of Painter (MetaCreations), but I've lost the CD and now that I've had to reinstall my computer I don't ahve it anymore. A real pity, it is absolutely brilliant.

Bah. This is just a stalling tactic while they're waiting to get more laws in place. The more expensive fat content like movies are the less incentive there is to race out and get broadband. So long as the majority of the public don't have fat pipes, movies are reasonably safe from Napserisation. I....

If you download the .swf file, instead of viewing it on screen, you can change the size and shape of the viewing window. Stretching it vertically enlarges the comic, which isn't much use. But stretching it horisontally makes it so that more of the comic fits on to the screen at once, making it possi...

I once met a guy from the US somewhere, he had just finished his education to become a lawyer, a 'bar' exam, or something like that. He had seen the Mooloo comics on-line and wanted to visit when he 'did Europe'. Anyway, he was shocked that 'us Europeans' didn't hardly even know what a US dollar was...

I particularly like the logo which Jack Masters has designed. Cool isn't it! I hope to be able to get involved somehow. There is plenty to do. So don't be shy, choose a thread and get involved. An initial reservation that the cost of printing locally on so small a scale will prove prohibitively exp...

There is a project underway <a href="http://www.dumbrella.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Building+a+Manga&number=10">over here</a> that you might find interesting. (I know that several people frequenting this board already know about it, but this might be news to some). <i>Our goal...

Do you have to have a PayPal account to access this info? If so, could someone please cut and paste it here so we can all have a look.

Sean and cjstone, I'd just like to say that I am very much enjoying reading your posts, and appreciate the attention you are giving this topic. Secondly, regarding the middleman Sean eluded to in his excellent essay, I recently found out that CyberCash has been bought by VeriSign, who have plans on ...

Hi Jack, I didn't send in a character because I didn't read that far down, and thus didn't know you were asking for them. I read the first couple of sentences, up until "In addition to writing the comic backwards, every wednesday I introduce a new character." and then I stopped reading. I had heard ...

Setting the threshold to five yields some good stuff both for and against.
