All is well in my life. But the comedy well seems a little low. Any suggestions on how to clean out the cobwebs?

It is said that an artist does his best work when he suffers.
How this applies to Strippers on here, I dunno.

There's no such thing as writer's block. Write or don't write. Copy words from the dictionary and see what comes to you. Read great works and rip them off. If it comes out crap, post it anyway, like I do.

I rely on IRC to get my comics. Sadly, it means other people have to be funny for me, and they can't do it on demand. Damn them.

Writer's block is much easier, in my opinion, for someone to overcome if they're using stripcreator.

If I ever get the urge to make a comic, but haven't the slightest idea what to make it out of, I just click make comic and start scrolling through each of the possible characters and backgrounds until some dialogue comes into my skull.

Here's an example of a comic that started by just scrolling, then I came to the Tikigod.

i actually rather agree with this. "writer's block" means lack of inspiration, but if "real" writers always waited for inspiration to strike before writing something, most of the world's literature wouldn't exist. (this is why i haven't written anything but strips since i left grad school in may)

as for stripcreator, i have several times sat down with no strip in mind and wound up churning out eight or ten before the night was over. generally, it takes about seven before i write anything funny, but the only way to overcome "writer's block," for me anyway, is to write through it. you never really lose the funny, assuming you had it to begin with (and you did, israphael).

Devlin, The nacho comic was good...but I think you meant to say "Scroe!" What is this "score" you speak of?

Boinky...Nice post. Like Spankling, I almost didn't get it.
