lol, I was thinking almost the exact same thing.

Thanks Shadow!

A quick question Shadow - I'm a graphic and web designer but I've only worked with pngs sparingly until recently. Do you know of a good guide to optimizing them? Or can you explain the best way to optimize a png for the benefit of less-informed folks like myself?

Thanks!

Just re: today's blog I would encourage Scott and/or anyone else who hasn't seen this to head down to your local Blockbuster (or wherever you happen to go) and rent yourself a copy. I saw it awhile back when it was first out on video and I really loved it. It's a must-see if you're an Owen Wilson fa...

Yes, but is that really saying anything?

Did this even come out? I never saw it here in Canada though there were a lot of trailers for it 12-18 months ago. Maybe they are just doing a stateside release?

I'd like to use it for a webcomics/video hybrid I've been thinking about.

Hopefully the public version will be released soon.

I also think that's an overly pessimistic view of things. I don't doubt that as soon as people like Scott, Joey and/or others have worked out really good, really successful models for webcomics the big guys will swoop in to try to make as much as they can with a lot of lousy content. I know some peo...

Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right.

It's the oddest thing, this time when I came here I was automatically logged in. I haven't changed anything so not sure why it worked this time. It'll be interesting to see if it works again next time. Glad I am not the only one. Thanks for the reply Greg. I'm really curious as to what causes this (...

I think I may have answered my own question...did a little Googling and found out that Zazzle.com has their own dyeing process (designed by their founder who's an MIT physics guy) and they're "...imprinted by a new digital technology that chemically bonds the ink to the cotton molocules. The resulti...

I love this board, I really do. Except for one little thing - maybe someone can help me figure this out. I cannot stay logged in here. It's very annoying. I have to manually log in each time I visit if I want to post no matter how many times I check the "Remember' box at the login screen. Lately I'v...

Hi all, I just wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone who participates and contributes in the Webcomics: Commerce discussions here and to Scott for Reinventing Comics, both of which were a tremendous help recently. I don't work in web comics per se (though I'm a big fan and would love to do on...

As to Ghastly's claims, we'd really need to see how that's tallied. I'm skeptical that it's an accurate accounting of readers. Anybody know what kind of tracking Keenspace offers for their websites? Aren't hits really meaningless? I suppose if you rely on pageviews for ad revenue they can be import...

Just thought I would post and share a recent article from Pulse about Melonpool's Steve Troop (which I'm a fan of) and his recent 24 hour comic:

I just wanted to thank Scott for posting the link to the MP3 of his recent chat on "Weekly Geek". When it was broadcast I was only able to catch the first few minutes of it before losing the connection.

Listening to it made an otherwise dull morning at the office a little more fun!

Just to add my two cents, if you don't want to spend a lot of money but want a top-level domain (www.yoursite.com) then Doteasy has a pretty good deal where they will host your site for free if you use them as your domain name registar and it's ad & banner free. If you need extra space or special fe...

Ooops! I wasn't logged in when I made that last post so I can't edit it. I apologize for the poor grammar.

My bad.

I think cartoon Scott or the "Scott icon" is so popular because Scott (in the form of his cartoon alter-ego) used it to speak to and directly address his audience that creates the impression of a 1-on-1 relationship. I think it's an extension of the same phenomenon that makes people identify televis...

Looks like "Toon Art" was finally delivered to most Coles/Chapters/Indigo bookstores here in Canada in the last fews weeks. Great book. I think's it's a must-have for serious webcomics fans.

Hi all, For most of the summer I've been slowly putting together a Web comic that mixes puppetry/animation/computer graphics called Bear Town. Basically it's a collage of computer-rendered art, photos of puppets and digitized video of puppet performance. I'm planning to launch the web comic Septembe...

I'm curious - has anyone else read this yet? I am going out to hunt for a copy this afternoon. Chapters here in Canada (sort of our Barnes and Noble) has it listed on their Web site and they'll hopefully have it in their stores too. We've got a mail strike about to hit in Canada so I don't want to o...

Well, I agree with Ragtag - iTunes may not be perfect but it's the first step forward that the recording industry has taken online since, well, ever. A model like iTunes would be the answer to the record industry's problems....if this was 1997. Unfortunately, it's not so we'll have to wait and see h...

I think that future mobile platform(s) - if not the presently existing cell phones - are something that should be looked at very seriously. The technology isn't quite ready for primetime (this thread reminds me of when some artist friends were discussing the potential of comics and animation on the ...

Hi all! I was lurking around the board quite bit a few months back when I started work on my online comics project - "Bear Town". This project actually started as a screenplay I was working on (and hope to make someday as an indie film). This my first attempt at a comic (online or otherwise) and I f...
