You can post comics in your thread by copying EVERYTHING in the address bar and then pasting it into your post. It helps if you don't paste it in the middle of your writing, but that's your choice.

I'm not sure if you're trying to tell me a familiar story or a failure story, but I'm not hunting down those comics myself.

Well golly gee willakers(sp). I'm a newbie, and I figured it out.

<> On the left hand side of the screen is your user name. It's also a link directly to your comic. One button click and you are there.

What you've gotta understand is that not a single one of us would rather click your name to see a comic than write a paragraph explaining as much. It's something of a pre-requisite among donors.

Anyways, I had a look and you're off to a nice start. Some very clever material in there!

I'd suggest you try to avoid SC injokes though- they've all been done to death (we're all guilty). You should also delete the duplicate "It will never happen......" comics, now you've got donor powers.

I especially liked "wrong place......"- it's insanely stupid and hilarious at the same time ^_^

Here's three that are okay.

Using periods repeatedly annoys me. I think there should be a limit of three max if you're using it to show someone's dialogue trailing off or something like that. I can overlook four as a typo. Unless you're the return of streetproject. In which case go away.

OK, the duplicates are gone.

Thanks for the compliments.

I was trying to "control" the pacing of the dialogue with the periods. It does look like I over used it.


This morining on the way to work, I saw the word TACOS in my rear view mirror on a truck behind me. I'll bet it's next month before another inspiring moment happens again.

Generally I find it's best not to try to 'control' the dialogue at all- if you let the reader interpret it themselves they'll usually read it in the way they find most humourous. Unless the character is trailing off mid sentence, then it works.

i guess i'll be the mean guy

i read through most of your comics trying to find one that made me laugh, grin, or even made my lips twitch.

please end my search.

advice: try to avoid so many random layout comics. they force you into situations that are uncharitable to you.
