Well - uh - what the hell was that about? It sounds like someone, somewhere, has a bad case of the Steven Covey Overdrive (7 Habits guy). Eek.

You know this has been bugging me for a couple of years now. It was the reason I stopped reading comics a few years ago, and the reason why I started reading again a few months back when I discovered how many great graphic novels and tpb collections there were out there. If I have choice between rea...

I could work it in on Monday the 23rd, but it would have to be afternoon or evening (which is a not a big deal). You could do yours the same day, but in the morning, and we could aim to have them up for... what's the time difference again?

I will check and get back to you.

Wow! You've obviously spent a lot of time getting things organized. It's a good idea to put everything in its own area though, and I think it will make the site easier to navigate. My only complaint is that I miss the big graphic you had running across the top of the page. It announced the site righ...

Let's set a date, sometime in the next two weeks, and do it. You do whatever you come with on the computer, and I will try likewise, and we will meet back here to see what we came up with.

9-11 Memorial Webcomic Jam

The title is fairly self-explanatory, but I should say up front, that the images to come don't necessarily have to follow one another. In fact, I hope that each piece that's posted here will stand out as an individual statement of grief, loss, and even more importantly, hope. *** Here's my contribut...

Thanks Greg. I know that like everything else in the age of hype and over-exposure, some people will have had enough already, but I had this image in my head, and though I am not an American, and didn't know anyone directly affected, I felt like sharing it. Maybe other will feel like-wise. I've star...

webcomics tribute to the victims of 9-11

I just got out of bed, because I had this idea, and I thought that I would bring it to you all right away, before I forgot about it, or put it off. I was trying to think of a way of acknowledging the anniversary of 9-11 in my comic for Wednesday, when I realized that a lot of people were probably th...

The first one kind of sucked, so I did another one a few weeks back. I only managed three pages, but I think that I got a more coherent story. You'll find it here.

If I were to start editing, seriously, I would probably wind up going back and re-writing the entire first chapter of my strip, bt instead I have decided to leave it as is, so I can look back a few months from now, and be even more embarassed than I am now :oops:

Cool! I had actually read your strip quite a few times before, and enjoyed it, but I didn't realize how you were working.

Until two days ago I was working with my iMac mouse, but I have now joined the tablet folk, and I'm lovin' it!

It left MT just a few weeks after it debuted, and from the little that John revealed in his newsbox, it had to do with maintaining control of the site, and keeping the archives free for the readers. I'm sure it was more complex than that, but he never went into much more detail than that. I think th...

I've been trying to develop a style that is somewhere between color collage and some sort of imitation of lino-print or wood-cut. I'm not sure why I've been so attracted to that lately, but it seems to be working right now, so I guess I will just continue to pursue th muse, and see where it leads me...

I've been rethinking this for the last couple of weeks. A month or so ago I was seriously thinking that my little flirtation with webcomics was coming to an end.

What he said. I was a semi-regular reader of your last strip, but I find the color and the loose art style of Life in 4 Panels much more engaging. It has a kinesthetic quality that is hard to capture in a webcomic, and always seems to be just about ready to burst out of the panel.

Bingo! It has to be fun, and it has to be about the pleasure of making comics.
