I read MAD in the seventies, stopped in the eighties, than started dabbling with cover submissions in the nineties. These were rejected, and I found the mag lost its' satirical bite that I knew and love. The MAD of the millenium sucks. Even the occasional Mort Drucker can't save that sinking ship. I...

Wow!

Just came from your website - I love your caricature section! You should be working for MAD magazine(or, maybe you are...) Nice work! Is it all digital?

Oh, and Yingo? About Blood Pond? Let's just say that the infamous Forry Ackerman will be making a guest cameo appearance! Huzzah!

Thanks! It's an excellent resource. When I free up some moola on my credit card, I plan to purchase copies(untranslated-unless ANYONE knows where i can buy translated versions of this book) of Kogaratsu. Awesome stuff! And no, I'm not pro (yet), meaning I haven't been hired by 'the big two' or the o...

Thanks for the kind words and the excellent link reference. 'Kogaratsu' looks awesome! I'm going to do a search about for it in english, if not , I'll take it just for the art! It's funny, comparisons are obvious on the outset with my story to 'Lone Wolf & Cub', but honestly! I wasn't trying to copy...

Modern Tales: After the Fact...

I was just wondering: it's been a spell since Modern Tales got up and running: quick question to the creators involved:
Are you making any money on this thing yet?
Jus' curious....

Hey, gutterfly! I voted for LOTR, though SWII is a vast improvement from I. It renewed my love for the Star Wars movie. On another note: Your music choice on your website kicks ass! As I write this I have your page open, and am enjoying the music immensely. Excellent choice! My next question is: who...

Character development

Hey Tailsteak, Categorization is not a bad thing, in particular when it comes to fleshing out the intrigate details of a story. I think its immensely helpful. The trick of course, is to take these lists, put it all together, and make it all look natural. Some writers(Ray Bradbury) can sit at a typew...

I think there is a real danger, when the 'big guys' who get all the hoopla and press anyway, make statements like what Jena said, to repeat: 'We created a magazine-sized reprint for newsstands and invented dotComics to distribute electronic versions for free.' It may seem innocent on the outset, but...

Need a pyramid - comics style

Here ya go! This is what the pyramid in Canada would look like. I'd recommend building it in Dildo, Newfoundland(there is such a place - honest!) The pyramid would be structured like this:

Vince, the new colors are great! Much nice, richer. Works much better with your art. I'm sorry, I don't like the type face choice. Comic script tries too hard to be a comicbook font, when it will never be. Try experimenting with a more direct, less decorative font, but have a variety of point sizes,...
