typos? I do not see any misspellings ... although, I know that I can not spell very well. In fact I am slightly dyslexic. I do try to run the text through the spell check at least once ... of course, I am always adjusting the dialogue to the last minute to make sure it is just right. Where's my edit...

I thought you would like the click here button. :) As for the title, you had the title of the last panel which would ruin the "punchline", so I just came up with the next logical title. Thanks again, Kris!

Well you see, it's all about winter and salt. As with any state that get extreme weather changes, Michigan suffers potholes. water gets into cracks in the pavement and when the temprature gets really cold (which boy it does here in Michigan), the water freezes and expands, cracking and damaging the ...

Third comic is up, which makes me nervous because the fourth one is not completed yet. I like staying at least one week ahead. The fourth one is most done. I figure it could probably get this one completed today if it was all I did today. Regardless, I like the current comic up. It does feel good to...

David, is that some sort of commentary about Michigan roads? If so I totally agree with you. Michigan has some of the worst roads I've ever had the pleasure to drive on, especially around Detroit. I am not sure which part you were refering to ... the getting lost which is so a part of my life here ...

Late again, Your Comic Here is up. A second comic from Kris Lachowski. A cool guy who happens to be in Michigan Web Comics. Kris came in when I was in a pinch for a comic this week. Thanks.

All I have to say, William, is that while there are some points that I agree with, I do not agree a lot of your points. Some of the things that you speak as true, I would say that it is false. But it is okay for us to disagree, it makes us unique. I also know how hard it is to get off one's soapbox....

Actualy I have just one more thing to say ... William, just so you do not feel too bad, I used to be a gunho anti-Marvel person myself. I was big on creator rights and how creator owned comic tended to have better stories than the stuff put out by a group of editors. They did so many wrong things by...

Yes William, there is a "war" going on. The fight for public perception. The fight to see comics as art. To see comics as literature. The diversity of genre within comics with media and institutional scrutiny. You are right that only about one out of a thousand American's read comic books. It is the...

While a agree with many of the points you make, I still think you missed mine. I do not know about other Borders or those chain book stores, but the one near me has a decent selection of graphic novels and trade collections. About a fourth of the section is Japanese manga (which has a wide variety o...

Well Decaf describer humor as Doonesbury or MAD Magazine. Which I see as newspaper or satire magazine. Neither one of those were printed in comic book form (well MAD did when it started, but that was way early for me).

You also left out those old Whitman/Western Publishing comics that printed cartoon comics like Donald Duck, Bug Bunny and Popeye.

It is hard for me to choose one answer from the ballot. In fact I guess I would say it would depend on the situtation.

This week's Your Comic Here is brought to you by Vitor Mazzeo Viana. Vitor comes from the southern land of Brazil brings us our first 3D comic. Well not really 3D because it is still on a flat screen. I wonder if those hidden images posters you see at the mall would work on a website ...
