I've often asked myself the very same question. The answer is never what one expects.

Making Comics: It's almost here.

The notion that removing a book from library shelves is protecting anyone is what I've never been able to get my head around. Protecting them from what? And how? An argument about what should be in a library hinges on that book's social, historical or educational value. In this case, it seems that t...

I just sent an email to that address. Please let me know if you don't receive it.

Yeah, I was working on it, then not, then again, then not. It's not ready for prime-time. I've given my code to a couple people who are php- and SQL-savvy, but it's not a plug-and-play solution. If you don't mind doing some work on your own (I can offer pointers), I can send you the files.

Now that's petty bizarre, too.

...attended a couple of conferences, each an hour long. .... Sunday, I attended some more conferences early in the day. At the conventions I've attended, these panels have always been the true measure of how good a con is. What kinds of things did you attend? Were there plenty of options of interes...

Ok, after re-re-reading your rather confusing analogy... Why is it confusing? I'll give this a shot, because I found it confusing as well. It seemed that in your first post, you were discussing people copying the same anime/manga style and suggesting that they explore more realistic/representationa...

Whereas I agree that there's a lot of copying going on without any real understanding, copying is how people learn. At least at first. There is a good point to be made about learning the fundamentals before moving on to weird abstractions (and recognizing what's actually a weird abstraction vs. a fa...

Now, that's how to fight thread drift and bring a topic back home, Mr. The W. G!

I know that this is supposed to be about It's About Girls (and let's be clear that IAG is an A-1 comic), but can I digress even futher and suggest that Batman AND Capt. Kirk would totally rock? What's that? Stupid??! Well, okay, have it your way.

That's not a comic. Comics are juxtaposed pictoral and other images in deliberate sequence. That Kirk isn't juxtaposed.

About a dozen pages of that picture is all I ask of a webcomic.

Somebody please, please, please bring him the head of Celine Dion. We've been good- We deserve it!

Depending on the image, I will do either one. Sometimes I feel I can eyeball it, but for some really comprehensive pictures (usually establishing a setting for the first time) I will use vanishing points and rule out the lines more precisely. In either case, I generally use a ruler to pencil in the ...

Double-true! It must be a great relief to have come to this deadline successfully and be well on track for the publication date.

That's pretty funny.

Yeah, it's probably a good time to add something to the music suggestion topic. I've recently been listening to Kate Bush's "Aerial" over and over and over.

This is an excellent idea.

And sometimes the application itself has to be calibrated for pressure sensitivity.

I think it's difficult as a writer to find an artist, since most artists think they can write, too. But as to web design, why not look into learining some of that yourself? It's really not that difficult to get started and it can be fun, as well. It may help you to find an artist if you've already g...

You lucky bastard!

Yeah, but then I'd also have to delete the posts, and that's more work for me. Easier to do it this way.

In case anybody cares, I've taken to renaming the user registrations of spammer accounts to "Nemo" (as well as wiping their email addresses, ICQ numbers, and other contact information and resetting their passwords to gibberish). There are now multiple users called "Nemo" and none of them have made a...
