I only have one thing to say about this, and honestly, I'm deeply surprised that no one else has said it. Despite what everyone seems to think, as a popular phenomenon and technologically, the internet is still very young. This means that by and large, its constituents are very young. Young and have...

I dunno. This bob looks awfully, well, dignified. Doesn't a character have to lose dignity in order to be humorous? I suppose he's playing the straight man here.

But everybody noticed that I misremembered the title and got the name on the topic wrong.

Yeesh. I feel dumb.

But it didn't stop you guys from posting here. Haha...
Actually, I agree that scott should leave the funky panels in. They're a nice little trip, and deeply funny.

But I just did. The walrus. There. I mentioned him again. Perhaps this one should be filled with references to the Lewis Carrol classic "the walrus and the carpenter". Yeah. That'd be neat.

ah, happens to us up here in North Dakota all the time. Every few blizzards there will be a serious power outage.

well, in the meantime, let's welcome him back.

Welcome back, Scott!

Writer boy that I wish to be, and given that I am really unable to draw, I couldn't figure out how to make a self portrait, until now. Enjoy.



Isn't that neat?

That was mine. Greg, I think the cookies are down, if that's what holds your login info from visit to visit. It hasn't remembered me for a while.

but, of course, then she was cheered up by ten diamonds. Makes you wonder, insurance killing? From that picture, the queen looked pretty young.

Yes! I was inspired! Like some others, I didn't find out about this jam until you had "retired" it. I thought of a great card for the jack of clubs. Here it is. http://echoes.dhs.org:81/~oberon/CardJam.jpg Like others, I really hope this jam can be finished. It'd be so awesome to have a full 54 card...

Behold! My strange creation based on the title provided! As you may notice, it is a photo comic, since A) I don't have a scanner and B) I can't draw worth a damn. I do however have a digital camera, and I made good use of it here. http://echoes.dhs.org:81/~oberon/APCF!.jpg P.S. I think that's the mo...

I particularly like the string coming off the front of the cart.

behold! My panel was right the whole time! Yes, it was. Umm... if it's not right on yours, then hit refresh. Then it'll be right. I can't imagine what sort of sadistic, nit-picking saboteur would break into a sealed system, meticulously change the spelling of an easy-to-misspell word, use exactly th...

You know, it just occured to me, that "e" in "me" should be backwards. Oh well.

That was mine. Wasn't logged in. heh. oops

Hey rip, it doesn't matter how old you are, smoking dope is no less illegal. But if you're a minor, you might get a smaller penalty. SO all you minors out there, smoke dope now while the penalties are small! ;) I envy that Rip, I wish I could get creative like that when I got high. The ideas flow to...

Hey, Scott, you use photoshop, don't you? How'd you do that cool sun effect in the last panel?

Right now I'm only an entry level creator, but I've thought about this for a while too. I think that when you're unemplyed you notice the dry spells more easily than when your body is occupied. The trick I use (as an unemployed person) is finding a suitably mind-numbing activity and doing that, and ...

as for video games (or games in general. I think that video games are simply a logical decendent of any other type of game), they're a wierd case. With other mediums you have the tools for the art set out before the project begins, unlike games, where the artistic/technical sides happen simultaneous...

Coincidentally enough, a VERY condensed version of this discussion (computer games as art) is the topic of Scott McCloud's "Discovering Games" comic in this month's (July 2002) issue of Computer Gaming World. Dammit! That rat bastard! I wanted to write that book! When will Scott McCloud's intellige...

Nice quote, Wikkit. I love them books.

has anyone considered how this applies to other art forms? Music or video games or something? if you can consistently say that no standard is the best standard, then maybe you might have a case. But I don't think you can. Yingo, in your first post you seemed to be describing individual standards. I ...

I'll try upping the cache size. Maybe that'll help. just noticed your post rip.
