The less characters there are, the more clever we're forced to become to make funny comics. In fact, there should be even less. Like maybe... three.

And reduce the comics down to a single panel. All the best comics are single-panel, like Herman, The Far Side and the side-splitting classic, The Family Circus.

But other than that, this whole comic-manufacturing thing is groovy. I've made like... uhm... lots.

dcomposed April 10, 2002 11:49 PM	then why dont you just only use 3 charecters and only one panel. one panel comics are good but not when its 2 people standing there, there has to be something going on.

Drexle April 11, 2002 12:23 AM	You know, there is a comic strip creator out there where the only available character is a rock... a black and white drawing of a rock... against a flat white background. Of course, you can use as many frames as you want, but hey, it's close to what you asked for.

joshw April 12, 2002 11:19 AM	I think Far Side is way better than family circus. Then there's ziggy or iggy or something. Those suck.

Blew_Crabs April 12, 2002 3:02 PM	Out of all the one-panel comics, Ziggy rocks! 65993 In fact, Ziggy really sang with screwed up eyes and screwed down hair-do. He was the nazz, with God-given ass!

JimmyHollywood April 12, 2002 4:04 PM	There are just enough characters who slightly resemble Hollywood celebrities to keep me going. Read, if you will, my damn comics.

DexX April 12, 2002 11:48 PM	Is it just me, or is JimmyHollywood just Bazilla again?

Bazilla April 13, 2002 12:11 AM	OK, I just wrote I whole paragraph on how I'm not Jimmy, then I read his comics, and I'm starting to think I am him, though I would make a big fuck off appearance with lights and fireworks and stuff, oh and the fact that I'm not making alter-egos ever again. (apart from mystery cups that may take place.)

DexX April 13, 2002 12:29 AM	I wasn't sure... JimmyHollywood swears a lot more than you do.
