Just an idea for possible future upgrades to the system:
How about a "Random" feature for making a comic? In other words, a button that when clicked would randomly select a background and two foreground characters. Just for kickstarting ideas for strips.

With the way so many new strips already look... I figured this feature exists and I just don't know about it.

I don't know about this one. My $0.02. Anyone else?

I kind of like the idea. Oh, the possibilities.

This already works. Just because the random number generator has deemed it fit for YOU to get a disproportionate number of Asian Girls on a white background doesn't mean it isn't working properly.

Nah, I think he means that a comic be made from scratch by some sort of monkey bot when you click on a certain button. I think it is a fine idea also.
Like a thousand monkeys chained to a thousand typwriters type thing, we could call it 'New Improved Boinky33.3'
Sounds like a goer to me. And just to show my support I would like to start off the list of words available to the unpredicta-bot -

and
flange
bits
herpes
brachiosaurus
carcinogenic
rowful
scroe
jipper
etc,.

This'd be neat I admit but I'm not sure my goal should be to try and help people make more comics with even less thought.

Heh heh. I think there is quite enough of that going around already.

A small order of fries was called something else at one point?

Yeah, I've always seen them called 'small fries'. Are you talking about that crappy dollar menu McDoucheburger's has?

I've always been FOR a button below "clone panel" which could pull up random panels and characters pop up (not random text!). It would be a great help for my stream-of-comicness series.

And I don't think adding this feature could possibly make the idiots on this site any more idiotic. Let's just focus on the talented strippers.

Being able to randomly select individual elements might help without adding to the "million monkeys on a million typewritters" mentality. If you just want to shuffle through characters / background at random to find new things. (There are probably enough characters now to make that a reasonable idea).

Being able to randomize a whole panel or all three panels doesn't seem like it would benefit the quality of comics at all though.

When have you ever cared about quality in your comics?

Makk needs some antiseptic to treat that burn he just got.

Huh, I like the random panel/element idea. I'm not sure how the interface for the random element thing would go, but adding a button to randomize the characters and background might be OK.

That was the verbal equivolent of a flagpole wedgie. Spot on, Kajun.

It's too bad I can't hit a button and "randomly select" who's posts I have to read.

Oh wait...
