hi dan!

once again, i have to say that i'm quite impressed with what you're creating so far...

you certainly are beign quite creative when it comes to finding new ways to show a comic story...

keep it up, sir

hm.... i just checked it out with my newly-acquired DSL connection, and didn't feel that the interface was "too" horrible... it seems like a nice idea, even though i will agree that such an interface is a) a little too much wasted "clicking" time, and b) very unpractical for anyone with a connection...

oh, and i forgot to mention that due to your "calling my bluff" on my top ten page , greg, i completely felt pressured to revamp the page to allow me to update with ease, so that i can keep it current and such... you can go check it now, if you want, as i've already put it up a day or two early for ...

Update on sites that review comics: While I was catching up on my comics today, i discovered that Tailsteak, who has posted here once or twice, and who is responsible for the genius metacomic One over Zero , has created a pretty elaborate links page which actually offers a nice detailed summary of e...

I'd like to recommend FRAMED! -- it's a really coo.. oh wait, you already did!

Thanks for that, BTW!

What are you looking for exactly in a comic, Max? Innovation? Funny? Art? Writing? Kim Ch'i? All of the above?

To make people laugh. To make people think. To make people smile. And when I say people, i nclude myself there, too. And Tailsteak, I disagree with you -- your comic is VERY much NOT limited by time or such... i tihnk that people twenty years from now will laugh and enjoy and learn and think and smi...

Hey, are you saying that *MY* comic isn't more mature than ZWOL? :wink: Seriously, tho, Greg -- I remember when i first looked at your strip almost a year ago, rioght after you sent me some kind words about my strip... I LIKED ZWOL. I liked the oddness you began with, and i LIKED your Saturday perso...

heh. well, unfortunately, i have stopped updating the monthly top ten PAGE because it was very time consuming for me to keep up -- not being a very gifted html-er, it took far too reorganize all the new banners and such, as well as write up the blurbs... maybe i should get my friend scrubbo to whip ...

well, in terms of what spurred me to draw strips, my three biggest influences are Garry Trudeau ( Doonesbury ), Berke Breathed ( Bloom County, Outland ), and Bill Amend ( FoxTrot ). All three are notorious for stuffing their strips with a bajillion tiny details and easter eggs, hence why seem to hav...

yay for the current crap!

i mean, you already KNOW my thoughts on your comic so far, max, and i'm glad to hear that this is getting you even MORE interested in webcomics -- it sounds like you've become an addict like the rest of us!

The Multiply function is SOOO my new best friend since i was told about it a month or so ago... I'm surprised that not one person here has mentioned GIMP, which I find rivals Photoshop in a number of ways, and perhaps even beats it out with a few very useful functions and scripts... Best of all rega...

lol, i LOVE it!

and i would arugue that it IS a comic, by rule of infinite canvass-related scrolling...

Of course, if someone had a 10 foot monitor, and could see the whole thing without scrolling, then it would become a cartoon.

Yay for audience participation!!!

HI Cat! I just finished going through your archives again in order to try to help you out, and i marked down every comic that struck me on one level or another -- here's my list: 6, 14, 15, 16, 24, 34 (i like the form), 36 (for sure!!), 37, 40, 51, 56, 64, 72, 73, (i love the hypnocoin bit -- nostal...

the HOOK.

it's all about the HOOK.

sometimes it's art, sometimes it's writing, sometimes it's a certain little something that's a hybrid of both.

but it's that TWIST that makes it DIFFERENT from others that i remember. i guess i just LIKE things that seem new and different

well, you already KNOW how much i'm enjoying it so far -- your panels, you pacing, and your colouring are uber-impressive...

just me popping in after a little absence to say that i really enjoyed your morning improvs to date -- nice job with switching around with style and storytelling pacing...

but when do we get some Filmore?

Heh. The cartoonist count is more like 67 right now, i think... and more are joining everyday for a little experiment i have going on on September 20th... (hey, if any of YOU are interested, then write to me at damonk@yahoo.com!) As for "innovative" or "new", nahh... I just had a story to tell, and ...

in response to John, I know that my site forces the reader to scroll down a tiny bit to get to the comic, but I do so on purpose because I am trying to help spread the word about other great comics with my readers by pimping them in my "spiffy Discoveries" section... I always fear that people may mi...

Very interesting indeed, Jack!

I'll be reading on to see what happens, err, happened, err, will happen, umm, in the past, after the before part, err, umm...

*starts to drool and snaps catatonic*

I have to admit, i'd like to know what clint asked, myself... and actually, clint, i don't know if you may know this or not, but I had heard that the entire keenspace universe only accounted for about 15% of the total keeniverse bandwidth -- is this in fact the case? and this brings up another quest...

well, i'll let my strips speak for themselves...

Yay Cat!

*does a little happy happy dance*

Can't wait to hear what you have to say come panel time!

GAH! Now I <i>really</i> have to see this!
