Cafepress is soon going to start allowing books to be sold, this includes comic-books (from 1-52 pages), though black and white. We should figure out some way to do a stripcreator comicbook.

We have talked about something like this before and it was kind of poo-pooed because of all the legal issues. We would have to get permission from the creators of the characters (and some of the backgrounds, too, I think). For yours and DexX's I assume that wouldn't be a problem, but for the others it would be.

I would want a 52 page book just to myself, fuck legalities, y'all can sue my ass, bitches.

Anyway, as always, I support this idea, but can't see there ever really being a comprimise.

Well, I'd have to go around and ask the various artists if it's okay. Probably with credit given it wouldn't be a huge problem, just a hassle to do.

Black and white seems kind of crappy though.

I've thought of various book ideas that seemed interesting, but ultimately it'd be a fair amount of work and probably would only sell two copies.

Licensing and approvals are a bitch.

I worked for a company that was heavily involved with that, although we were manufacturing Halloween costumes for mass market retail. You would have to negotiate a separate licensing agreement with every copyright holder/artist. Even if you had your own attorney (you do have your own Stripcreator general counsel, right?) draft a master agreement, each would be unique because different sets of lawyers would make different changes and you would incur thousands of dollars in legal fees just to have all the agreements lined up. I realize most of the entities involved aren't gigantic entertainment corporations like I dealt with, but that would only make it worse since large corporations tend to use the same boiler plate language and are inflexible about changing it.

There would also be a matter of royalty rates and guarantees. Trust me--you'd never sell enough copies to pay off everyone (especially if your only distribution is Cafe Press).

There are other intellectual property issues, but I think I said enough.

as wirthling said, it wouldn't be a problem if he just used dexx and my art in a black and white format. So besides the legal fees, the only real trouble is chosing the jokes and formatting the pages.

In his exit thread he said that the art he made for this site was now public domain. He also said that he burried treasure under a giant X.

How would you get your own book Kajun, when you never use Kaddar's art?

I think I've already addressed my personal opinion of the legal aspect of this idea.

id buy THE COMPLETE STRIPCREATOR. it would have every comic ever on the site in it, and each creator would have their own chapter. it would be huge of course, so they'd have to release it in serparate volumes, each about 300 pages long. that would own.

"Best 5 Comics" is ENTIRELY subjective.
Also, I think if it were to happen, we should have a page or so devoted to each major "catchphrase" that popped up. The first comic, and one of the better comics that continues it. Not to mention some of the forum conversation about said catchphrases.

What do ya all think?

I think you'd better be putting this sht together. I don't have the time for it, and I'm sure Brad doesn't. What with his pizza, beer, pizza, pizza, beer schedule.

Sounds like my schedule, except add in "work" and "be depressed about being single" in there once in a while.

Couldn't we all just print our comics off using the works printer in colour. Then use the works staplers and scissors to make our own comic books. Then sell them in the works canteen? I'm gonna bloody do it, once i have some funny stuff.
