It is indeed the strangest thing I've seen in quite some time... Hey! Citizen Kane! Right next to the Thompson Twins....

*Googles McGonagall*
Um...
Wow. I hadn't heard of him before. That's funny in a sad, Ed Wood kind of way...

Thanks. The trouble with cribbing from famous dead poets is that it'll be hard to live up to...

Thanks! It's always nice to be hated for something I did 8) I actually came up with several different backgrounds for the apocalypse. Some influenced by current events, some influenced by other post-apocalyse stories. I was going to start with one of those"On the highway it was a white line nightmar...

I can't believe I haven't hyped this here. I'm working on a new comic called Cooking with Anne. Long form and all that. It's about cooking. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland. In Seattle. Because I like cooking, I've seen and read far too much post-apocalyptic fiction, and I live in seattle. It's just ...

I split the image in two, displayed side by side...

I changed the one about san diego, so you might be able to see it now...

I use firebird as well, with no problems, but again, Win XP. My mother, on the other hand, uses a mac and netscape, and she can't see images that are really wide. I've never figured out how wide, though. I thought it might be 6000 pixels, but now I'm guessing it's smaller.

I've had that problem with macs before... It could be width. Do you have a problem with this one as well? http://www.contretemps.net/archives/200 ... 02302.html Or with any of the other comics on my page?

heh. That first one is basically me at the convention. What was odd was that I talked to some superhero artists, and I was fine. But going up to Carla Speed McNiel, or, say, any of the Moderntales and co. artists and that's pretty much me. What's irritating is that they were all remarkably approacha...

Thanks! As for the con report and more about the ex girlfriend, I think you may be waiting a while for that comic :) My con consisted of me buying lots of comics, handing out a lame little photocopied mini, and acting like a fanboy whenever I met indie comics artists. The ex girlfriend, we saw in LA...

Pludes!

Poor parallelogram.

Pro-White... Thanks, I'll keep an eye out next time I go to the art supply store.

Put up a little one-hour on my site last week. It's my con report from San Diego. Sort of.

On days when I am feeling all postmodern, my take on the Parallelogram's Revenge is this: The whole thing is a metaphor for the slashdot website. And how it would be cooler without the squares... :) In noticed it the other day when Scott's blog was talking about how he had been /.'d! and he had the ...

Hmm. As a consumer, I find myself agreeing with all three essays depending on which one I am reading. I find the following point to pretty much encapsualte why I have yet to sign up with BitPass. Shirky: If you want to feel mental transaction costs in action, sign up for the $3 version of BitPass, t...

I have one of those. I have trouble drawing on it... it comes right up again.

Hmm seems like the best solution for me is still paint. Or paper, if the error is large.

I also find myself using it when I want to paint on black. There are lots of times when it is just easier to paint an area black and then come in with the white paint...

Here is a fairly basic art question. What kind of correcting fluid do you like? What is there to avoid? In college they told us to steer away from basic white out because it leaves everything a blobby mess. White paint was suggested as an alternative. My experience is this: white paint is no less bl...

That was a good read. Thanks for the link!

No new comic, (nor will there be until a. I get back from Comic-Con, and b. the cable company gets around to hooking up my internet connection), but I turned a the one about the robot into a mini comic for ComicCon. Basically I converted to grayscale and made some photocopies, and cut them in Chick ...

I did another one... Not so clever this time. It can be found at www.contretemps.net/archives/2003/contre051003.html I think I got all hung up on drawing the cars. And that stupid on-ramp. (It really looks vaguely like that... goes on right between two buildings, and the approach is on a big hill, s...

Gazorenoku, partly a reply to you, partly just random rambling :). The vertical format is really quite an effective way of displaying webcomics intended for print. Heck, it's a good way to display comics intended for the internet. People can use their mouse button to scroll, which makes the interfac...

Congratulations!
