I've been busy, and I'm still in the dial-up ghetto, so I only got to check out a little of this, but the few pages I looked at, I liked. I especially liked the bobbing, laughing heads, in the saloon. My two complaints are the lack of balloons, and the sound quality. I realize it can be expensive to...

Shouldn't that be "It's A Good Wall, Charlie Brown."

Good Grief! It's the Charles M. Schulz brick wall of philosphy.

Heh, nice touch.

A very interesting exercise in the use of negative space, Eric. I remember doing stuff like that in art school. I know it's tougher than it looks.

Is it my imagination, or has Byrne "Eisnerized" his drawing style just a bit.

It is kind of like after you finished watching a Twilight Zone and you are just baffled but intrigued. I'm waiting for Eric to come out, holding a cigarette in his hand, gritting his teeth, and saying "submitted for your approval...". Heh, heh. It's like a voodoo truck. Voodoo is always a catalyst ...

I didnt think it was Ted [Koppel] because he's a meaningful and well spoken man, where Shrub is not. Yeah, maybe if can stay awake long enough for him to finish a sentence. Koppel could put a meth-head on a binge to sleep. There's a reason Nightline does so well in the ratings. Insomniacs, deperate...

Actually, I'd like to see a Mandelbrot fractal, with all it's branches, used for something like a Mimi-Carl type comic. The openings in the mandelbrot can be used for each panel, and then you can zoom in on a branch, to reveal another opening used for a panel, and more branches, which in turn can be...

Ah, good ol' Escher, the stoner's favorite artist; twisting your mind with four dimensional paradoxes on a two dimensional plane. I never even considered before his art could be seen as fractalesque, but I guess in a way it is.

However, I got the impression that the guy talking about terrorist clones was George W Bush, not Ted Koppel. Oh, yeah. You could be right. I was seeing the panel as a news report, but it could be a Presidential press conference. When I saw the big ears, Ted Koppel was instantly triggered in my mind...

I've fooled with fractals quite a lot, in the past. Theoretically, can't you infinitely continue to zoom into the center of a fractal spiral? I thought the only limitation to iterating the spiral is the power of your computer, and the software that you are using. Of course, I'm an artist, not a math...

I resemble that remark

When I open the page, I get two "undefined variable" errors. The variables are "an" (233:25) and "d" (237:9).

OK, this new applet with the GIF works in my IE browser. Everytime I click on the it, it spins faster, and faster, and I get dizzier and dizzier. Weeeeeeeeee!!!. Hey, it's cheaper than an amusment park ride.

Let me guess, Kris. The news anchor in your strip is supposed to be Ted Koppel, the personification of Alfred E. Newman. Those ears are like sattelite dishes. Hey, Becks...if you really felt like Asimov, you'd be rolling over in your grave from this hideous I, Robot flick that's coming out. Ha! Last...

Hey, Shadow... I went to your page using IE6, and the applet never got started past the green box. There was a dot in the center (about 1 pixel in size) but nothing happened. However, I decided to open it up in Netscape 7, next, and it worked fine. So obviously, there an issue here with Explorer. Th...

Gees, you folks in Chi-Town are still hung up on that Black Sox Scandal, all these decades later. I guess that's to be expected when your team hasn't won it all since 1917 (1908, if you're a Northsider). As for wrestling, it pretty sad, but I've seen grown men who still think it's real, and parents ...

A wise guy, huh? Why I oughta...! That deserves a Moe Howard double eye-poke. "Pick out two, porcupine!"

Let's all hope, then, that the web gets what it needs.

OK, THAT would be BAD.

Everybody, no crossing the branches. It would be bad.

Pretty good for a first timer. :wink: Seriously, though, I think blindness is the worst fear for any visual artist, especially if you need to wear glasses already. My grandfather had a lot of problems with his peepers in his old age, and he was reduced to seeing only shadows near the end. For him, I...

Are you trying to suggest that pro-wrestling is fixed? How dare you!

Worse, I fear. A chain reaction throughout the multi-dimensional time-space continueum, resulting in total, and complete non-existance.

It doesn't have to be over!!! :( I can hope against hope that another branch will occur before her death and will have a happier ending.... Can't I? Theoretically, it never has to be over. The story can go on forever. That's the real beauty of this whole Tarquin thing. You can add a branch anywhere...
