I'm going. (!!!) Apparently the class is just before registration for classes.

Who else is in besides efm and Kris?

(p.s. - Thanks for the info, Kris!)

I thoroughly agree with the folks above. Losttoy is right about GeoCities and all free sites in general--you may have a slightly slow site, and you may not have that much free space on the server, AND you may have obligatory ads, but you're getting web space for FREE. What you don't pay for, but wha...

...although it's probably too late for the original poster's thesis, since this thread appears to have been resurrected after a seven month lapse.... - Jessica Abel takes a stab at comics as human-interest/mundane journalism . While some comics on her site really show her ability as a storyteller, h...

...the other option not mentioned here, of course, is inking digitally in Flash or photoshop, using the pressure-sensitive paintbrush tool and a wacom art tablet. Takes a little getting used to, but you can scan in your work, as messy as you want it to be, dim it down by adjusting the opacity or bri...

Thanks, Ben! (I somehow didn't put two and two together that you were <a href="http://www.wikkit.com/">THIS Ben</a>...d'oh.) Appreciate the plug. We're down to one slot left for a free sketch, but no one's figured out the <i>pattern</i> behind the cipher yet to get the $50 donated to the charity of ...

Wow, Merlin, that was BRILLIANT. (And it made me think...)

Bravo!

Bill, I seriously dig the mullet. (That comic made me laugh out loud.) Vince--get better soon! No comic this week, but another ol' office doodle from a meeting. This time, I had Dave Matthews, bowling, and bad Korean transliterations on the brain. http://comics.huah.net/ontheburner/kbdmg1030sm.jpg H...

...looking for it. [BB keeps kicking off the end of my post!]

Apologies for the further shameless pluggery.

Now ...back to your comicking!

...Vince, you realize that <a href="http://comics.huah.net/mbd/">MBD</a> is customizable, right? If you don't like the nouns and verbs in it, just erase the lists and type in your own, making sure each word is on its own line. Making it even cooler. ;j (Thanks again for all the raves!) If you're loo...

You guys all rule. This makes at least two weeks with no 1HC from me...arg. Grad school homework and real life are kicking my tail. That and I'm trying not to fall behind on my other drawing gig . Yeah, yeah...excuses, excuses. I offer up a couple bad doodles from long office meetings instead, inspi...

A comics directory is something that I'd say is very much needed...especially one with editors, a la dmoz or yahoo. One interesting feature I'd like to vote for is groupings/links between the comics creators. These wouldn't have to be exclusive (e.g., because I hang out on the zwol forum doesn't mea...

Freehand: cool. I was going to try Illustrator with this one (webslices--whoa!), but I'm still stuck on the first pages of the manual ;j As for TMBG, what about a webcomic jam, where people contribute comics for songs... we could do it in the jam section. I dig it. But only if I get to lay claim to ...

Thanks, Bill! Your comic is cool, too...really evokes a mood. (I often dream I'm swimming or sinking as I'm falling asleep--especially when I'm sleep-deprived--so I thought it was particularly nifty.) What program do you use to make your strips again? Illustrator? Photoshop? Can't wait to see Ben's ...

...on account of the facts that (a) I had been thinking about this comic all morning long, and some of last week, so it's hardly improv, and (b) it took me nearly two hours to get done ... (c) what was only about one-fifth of the entire comic (85KB). Oh well. Inspiration comes from the strangest pla...

I've wanted to try out Flash for some time now anyway, . . . But now it looks like the way to go.... Maybe I should become a salesman for Flash. ;) Seriously, though...don't take my word for it. I know some people who SWEAR by Adobe Illustrator instead. But since you can try either of them out for ...

Out of curiousity, what do you use to draw Jason? I use Macromedia Flash. I've got an old version 5 that works just fine for me. The funny thing is that I've used it for illustration, web design, and even video animation, but never to make a .swf for a web animation. Heh. Everything but the designe...

Vince, Gimp for Mac and Linux --supposedly better than Photoshop in some respects and free. Artstream - found it on freshmeat.net, don't know much about it, currently only available for Linux and Irix. Click on arrows at bottom of the screen (multi-page with some amazing illustrations). Might be ope...

Vince, Bill, Sorry folks. I just sent you an e-mail with my excuse for not getting a 1HC done this week (reason: I was working on something else webcomicky, which I'm not sure I'm supposed to mention yet). If you didn't get the e-mail with the URL, let me know, and I'm sure you'll understand when yo...

No guarantees, but I'll try to join the fun again this week. I may have to skip a few of the early weeks, depending. I'm still moving into my new place (boxes, boxes EVERYWHERE), just starting a grad school course, tackling a few big projects at work, and still trying to finish up another radiopolis...

Vince, Bill, I laughed out loud reading both of your comics. Great job! Did you guys feel as rushed as I did? Thanks guys. It's a lot more fun when you finish if you know you have other people's work to enjoy as well. Any time y'all want to do another one of these, please let me know. ("BLOOD OF CAR...

My hour is up, so despite the fact that, at the forty minute point, I discovered Macromedia Flash had deleted all my linework for the first six panels, I plugged on and "finished" it as is. Since it took me an hour to do all that, I didn't bother going further or redrawing/finishing it. It was a goo...

Can I join in on the lunch-hour-comics rally? I've got a tablet and just need the impetus. Just let me know the date you guys decide. I'm one hour ahead of GMT.

Howdy, Folks, Jason Alderman here. (Tempted to pull a Troy McClure and say " you may remember me from... " but if you look at my posts , you'll know I've been hanging around here for a while, just not much recently. One of my first webcomics was a No Contest for Greg, actually...) After nearly five ...

Both Comics and Sequential Art and its follow on, Graphic Storytelling , are pretty good, but know in advance that they're mostly reprints of Will Eisner's other works--not that this is necessarily a bad thing. Eisner introduces a concept or two, usually illustrates it with some figures and examples...
