I've only seen the one strip for Fetus X, and so far, I'm decidedly unimpressed. On the other hand, I hate to admit it, but Arsenic Lullabye actually does make me laugh. The one up now is unimpressive. Even though it just launched, there's a lready an archive, and some of them are better. I laughed...

Fetusi? Anyway, there's Freddie the Flying Fetus in Bob the Angry Flower , the main charachter is a fetus in Fetus-X , and the thing on Epoxy Press Presents looks like a fetus in a robot. So, the question from this not-very-profound reader is: why? Just some shock value, or is there some symbolism s...

It has launched. I have my subscription. I'd like to discuss what people think of it, but I wasn't sure if it should go into art, commerce, or hype. Move as appropriate. I subscribed for a year recognizing only Drew Weing's name, but he's always been nice to me, and that gets them all somewhere. Jus...

I'd love to see your They Might Be Giants anyway. I still have to do mine (next weekend?). Here's weird for you: I published the image from Flash, in gif, jpg, and png. The PNG version is blank on the bottom, the jpg version has nasty jpg compression artifacts, and the gif version is mysteriously m...

I finished a crappy one-hour of the song They Might be Giants by They Might be Giants, but it turned out a bit too cynical and possibly offensive.

Lets see you try to draw "big, big, fake, fake lies".

Anyway, I'll try to do another one tomorrow night.

I don't know about quality, I'm just holding on to the skin of my teeth. Maybe if I had one of them really fast G4's ... bah, I still am slow no matter how good the computer is (sigh). I'll catch up sooner or later. I have a dual G4 500, bought brand new when they came out. Look what I've gotten do...

Hey, now that I'm here it's a ghost two. Before it was just a ghost one.

It's the ZWOL forum. What do you expect? I suppose we could have deep ongoing discussions about the symbolism in Bowie spectres, but I don't see that happening.

there's probably all kinds of shareware available, but I still try to go the open source route. Wow, this is really going to make me the laughing stock of the web comics group, but I have to say I have no idea what the difference between "shareware" and "open source" is... Somebody plug me in! Shar...

Thanks, Jason. I'm looking at them now. I'm on a PC running Windows at the moment, so there's probably all kinds of shareware available, but I still try to go the open source route.

If I get one down by this weekend, I'll participate.

Thanks for the edit Wikkit. Looking forward to you joining us. Happy to help. I was just being anal about the Styrofoam; I didn't expect you to change it. The truth should not get in the way of art. If I'm doing mine on paper, I'll have to do it this week to have it scanned for the weekend. I'd lik...

The pictures didn't download. Looks really neat, though. I didn't read the text cause I am saving it for when I can see the images properly. Yeah, he did the same thing as last time, uploading the images and page but leaving the images pointing to his hard drive, rather than the webserver. You shou...

I think I might have gotten more done if I hadn't tried to think in panels, but I will have to live with this one for now. You should be able to find it here . While I'm happy you use a Mac, and find it interesting that you haven't renamed your hard drive, it would be easier for us to see it if you...

Very cool stuff. I'll be adding it to my short list of sites I check every day.

I'm reading through 30 Minutes right now.

I thought it was interesting, but I also wish there was a 'The End' for each panel. I also wish there was a 'start' button for each panel. I have a 56k modem, and I read webcomics by opeing up all of them at the beginning of the surfing session and letting them all load. If one is animated, I won't ...

Sort of a bit off topic but not: Finished rebuilding I Bleed Scorpions for the web the other day: http://e-merl.com/bleed.htm Unlike most of my comics which are done straight for the screen, this was originally made for print (and distribution at San Diego). As you can see, for the web version I de...

I hate to say it, but you may have to learn something. :D I use warped.com as a webhost. It's $5/month with a decent amount of disk space and bandwidth. It has a built in invisible page tracking thing, which I augment further with some of my own CGIs. They take PayPal, which helps me because I don't...

What do you mean by 'user friendly'? It makes all the pages for you, or just not deliberately obtuse?

Can you handle an FTP client and either write HTML by hand or use an HTML editor? Is $5 a month cheap, or what's cheap?

Is it OK if we hype other people's sites? I've been reading Exploitation Now since I started reading webcomics. Michael Poe occasionally gets lost for an idea and just throws in some goofy one liner or something pornographic to amuse the masses, but for the most part he does good work. He has two po...

After finishing work I noticed, that a 7 of Spades has already been done. Hmmm, seems like Greg is a cardsharper! :D :wink: That's ok, it's better than the original 7 of spades. We should also throw in a couple cards that are ads for other card sets and a coupon of Lipton Iced Tea if we want this t...

Yeah, was there much difference between the two?

Which was your favorite one, Scott? Is that like asking which is your favorite child?

Unless you want to do a joker. There's one left, isn't there?

AAHH! Britney is eight feet tall!

Another good one. I guess I ought to do one now. I'm having a hard time convincing myself to not do a generic dolphin pun.

Darn. Turns out I have to work one day of the weekend, and since it's a six hour trip up there, I can't justify coming up for one day. Perhaps 'next time'. I'll have to e-mail my Mpls friends and make sure they know about the Gaiman thing. Some of them probably know of Scott too, so they might come ...

I was thinking of coming up this weekend. Would it be possible to arrange some sort of zwol forum or scad people get together? Hey Scott, you busy all weekend?
