Scott, have you ever considered getting these published in book form? I know that they're already publically available for free, so there might not be much of an audience, but if the cost of distribution were not unreasonable, I for one would shell out for the opportunity to have all of these in my hands. Anyone else?

I too would love to see all of scott's online comics(ecspecially zot) collected into book form. but it's impossible because of the format. scott tends to strch comics spreading them across the page connected only by lines(such as when luna smiles, and monkeytown).

Scott usually does make full use of that "infinite canvas" of his. But some of his shorter on-line works could make good posters. I would buy a poster of "Brad's Somber Mood" if it were available.

Scott could always offer the master Photoshop file up as an electronic PDF file that he could charge for and the customer could then print it out on their printer or at Kinkos. (I really like when Luna Smiles and would like to have a copy on my wall and I'm too lazy to reassemble it in photoshop.)

Later,

I wonder if there are already comics that ARE radically different in their online and print versions. (A little like Vinyl vs. CD vs. VHS vs. DVD vs. ... different media offering the same product but enhanced/offered in a different way!)
