Well, I am not sure about Japanese copyright, although American copyright you can get in trouble even if you cross media. I guess I have been to enough GDT classes in college where the first lecture was always about copyright. However that was years ago and it would be better to send you to the sour...

It was pretty obviuos to me that it was a all seeing non-character narator speaking in the yellow boxes, however I see where the confusion might come from. Having a character respond to narative can be confusing depending on the context. In this situation, I might have done the Roadrunner & Coyotte ...

Whoops, took to long for me to write that last post that I must have gotten logged out. That last post was by me. I want to add that I find it risky to use a DVD and rearranging it to tell a different story. Regardless how well you pull it off, there is the issue of copyright. Further, why use a dir...

Here is my two cents worth ... My wife was not a comic book reader when I meet her. She has hence become just as much as a comic literate as I am. However, since this transition was recent, I ask her, "when you started reading comics, did you have any trouble differentiating between word balloons an...

MY favorite part of the interview was in the intro
William G. has received praise from some of the most important artists in webcomics, but he hasn't let it go to his head.
:D They don't know him like we do. :P

Just teasing Will, congrats on the feature!

Re: Look, a new "No Contest" strip.

Thanks, Greg, for posting my No Contest strip. Maybe if a bunch of us start to pick on you for not making new Zwol comic, then you'll be motivated to create them. Or maybe you'll fall back into a downward spiral, thinking to yourself that you could never live up to the people's expectations. I thin...

Just from the samples I saw, you don't need a colorist. And even without color, your figures have enough line depth to not need it. I agree ... although I think he concern is that it takes him too long to color a page. Most professional comic artists have a monthly deadline, so that is why there is...

If that was you who colored the illustration, you are a decent enough colorist as it is. I would suggest not going too light on the highlights, but other wise it is good. What kind of look are you looking for that is different from what you got? If you want, I take a blacck and white piece and ccolo...

Another cool comic from Kris. This guy is awsome! However, I got the impression that the guy talking about terrorist clones was George W Bush, not Ted Koppel.
