Maybe I'm overstepping my boundaries here, but I'm just curious as to what religion most of the people on this board consider themselves. Remember, atheism is a religion too! Devoutly agnostic -- I'm very committed to the idea that no truly solid proof exists for either side of the argument. Lots o...

I've decided to start a small freelance Web design and editing service. My fees are very low, as I'd like to focus mainly on small businesses, home crafts sites, and hobbyists. Naturally, I would also love to do some Web comics sites. If you've taken a look at my magazine, Shades of December , then ...

After a considerable hiatus, I am very happy to announce that the very first online issue of Shades of December is now available for your reading pleasure, at www.shadesofdecember.com. We are now seeking comics for the Fall issue – please see our Web site for submission guidelines. Featured in...

I have to say, after two months of Monkey Town, something quick and to the point was certainly in order. I actually got a really good laugh out of this one. I don't know how Nedlem (rhymes with bedlan?) felt about it, but I'd have been all the more amused for it. Perosonally, I think I've only submi...

Actually I don't feel it's dragging on at all! I just try to reread the strip as a whole every time again and find it hilariously funny! Yes, it is very funny -- Please understand, I'm not saying I don't like Monkey Town. Taken as a whole, I find it really funny. My point is that I don't think the ...

At least it's not as long as "Meadow of the Damned". Now that one really went on forever. For me, that one never dragged on, though. Yes, it was longer, but it didn't feel as long. The big difference, I think (other than MotD just having more substance) is that with MotD, I got to see an new panel,...

I really like the interface on this. While it's technically just a "click next to turn the page" it really feels like something else entirely -- due to the visuals accompanying the page turn. Like Max said, not as novel as the Doodleflak interface, but much more intuitive, while still offering a uni...

I'd have to say, Jemas' comment sounds like intentionally ambiguous wording to me. Is he claiming to have actually invented Webcomics? No. And if anyone puts that question to him, he can honestly deny it. But his choice of the word "invented" is certainly intended to inflate the perceived importance...

Well, okay, one of my earlier comments, while true at the time, is no longer true. Just thought I should mention it, for the sake of honesty. I did say that I was not affiliated with UnboundComics. And at the time, that was true -- however, as of today, I am officially on their staff. At the time I ...

Getting back to the subject the thread-starter was actually interested in: Personally, I do find it easier to read long-form comics in print form. This goes back to the same reasons other people have preferred print -- portability, less eye-strain. Also, reading long-form on the Web can be really fr...

Okay, I dug up the URL for that E-Book Compiler. Just to warn you, the site itself reads like the sleaziest sort of get-rich-quick infomercial. It's really horrid. But the program itself actually does work. They have a demo version you can try out. Here's the site: http://www.ebookcompiler.com. Now,...

Just thought I'd add a few points to the discussion. I just read the whole thread at once, so my thoughts will be ranging freely through what's been discussed, but hopefully it will still make sense. First off, let me say that I'm firmly with Greg: Web comics good. Print comics good too. There are d...

What really impresses me about Terry Pratchett is his ability to make a story very funny, while at the same time taking the story itself completely seriously. The story ends up easily sophisticated enough that you can totally forget that it's also funny, and still thoroughly enjoy it. Good Omens, th...

For those of you who don't know (which is probably just about everyone, since I don't think I've mentioned it here), my wife and I publish a small press literary magazine called Shades of December. We've been on hiatus for a while for financial reasons, and have now decided to relaunch as a Web publ...

Speaking of monkeys, am I the only one who has these, for lack of a better term, "primate dreams"? You know the dream, when you're running for the bus, or running for your life, and your arms reach down to the ground and aid in your locomotion, making you run faster. I had a sort of primate dream t...

Mmnope. Cake Like, in case anyone was confused, is (was? in any case they aren't/weren't very good) an actual rock band, and Amy Sedaris was a member of Exit 57, not The State. She's very good though, I love her. Damn, you're right. Like I said, I always confuse which show was which with Exit 57 an...

Yes, Scott is a very clever boy, but DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!! This is NOT yet another one of his devastatingly original ideas! The EXACT SAME schtick -- a series of strips illustrating their cartoonist's descent into madness -- can be found in State By State With The State, a very funny book written by...

Although I am a bit suprised on how Fortunato said that theater would still be theater if it was filmed. It is two seperate mediums. There's a big difference between a film that was written for the screen, and a film that's just a video tape of a live performance. The latter is written, performed, ...

OK, maybe not Garfield,

Actually, even Garfield, to an extent. He's eaten pretty much any small bird or goldfish that John ever brought home. And he sure does hate those spiders...

(btw, personal opinion: Is it 'wrong' to take an improv comic you have previosly done and 'polish' it? Or does that defeat the purpose of improvisation?) I don't see how it could be wrong. The idea, I think, is that you're mostly producing kinda funny throwaways, in an attempt to experiment with id...

And if I search for "Morrie" and "Dugan", 161 results, in which I don't get it.

Yeah, I get the same results. Namely, nothing in particular. What was the interesting thing that happened for you, T Campbell?

The Morning Improv strips seem to be unusually focused on death lately. First Meadow of the Damned awhile back, then death is a part of the ending of Parallelogram's Revenge, and now our sad comicstripwriter Morrie Dugan's fate seems downright tragic. Is this a trend? Actually, almost all of the Mo...

Oh, okay. Good to know that it wasn't my imagination. When the panel with the incorrect name first went up, I actually thought it was a clue to his sins -- I thought it was going to have something to do with him leading a double life of some sort. So I was a bit confused when we found out that he wa...

When I first read MotD, I noticed that the bald character's name changed from Henry Richard Peterman in the first chapter, to Henry Robert Peterson in the second. But when I look back now, it's Richard Peterman in both chapters. So, I was wondering, did anyone else notice this change, or am I imagin...
