My brother and his friends started playing D&D, then to GURPS a long time ago. Since they have been meeting every week since the late 70's they have been having many adventures and have been building a growing world as characters have came and gone. Since they have been meeting every week since the ...

I would be apprehensive about distributing comics via peer-to-peer. Electronic distribution is one of those cool directions comics could go/are going (as Scott has spoke more clearly in his last book). However I like the idea of either free or subscriptions websites, or even comics being e-mailed, t...

Praise for Daniel and his stories/art/experiements/innovation has been spoken before by people more notable and wiser than I.

I have been reading a lot of Hellboy lately and I really like how Mike Mignola tells a story. Very simular to any of Will Eisner comics. I have yet to apply this to my own comics as I really don't have much time as I used to. However I would say i would be actively studying artists' work. As well wi...

Frankly, I think the "why do comics?" question is quite stupid (no offense). Why paint? Why write? Why dance? Why sing? Why do anything? The answers are obvious as self expression, entertainment and personal growth. Why pick one media over another to accomplish those goals is just a matter personal ...

Hmmm. It seems like our old pal William is being rather infectious. Will, you must have a lot of time on your hands to be able to teach, draw at least two comics, post here, post other places, and still find time to write for Web Comic Examiner. Congrats Will.

Your right, the Japanese characters were not displayed properly in my browser ... not that I could read it was.

I tend to reread at least part of the previous chapters to refresh myself before reading the newest. It just reads better as one big story as it does as individual stories. I tend to do this with many comics, not just It's About Girls.

It's probably a layout to one of your Hamlet adaptions you are obsessed with. I wish it was a layout to my script I am working on, but I doubt it.

Feed the artist ...

It is David Ano's Starving Art Shop. Buy original art, printed work and other stuff. I just started but I plan to add stuff more and more as I go along.

I don't like PNG's, so I don't use them. So I downloaded your file and opened it in Photoshop and then went to "save to web". I used the GIF as a file format, greyscale instead of web or any other indexed color, with no dither. Then I used the web snap at 100 and had 6 shades of grey. I took a file ...
