Ahh Webcomics, webcomics, webcomics

The Community.
As I delve further into the webcomics community, some more observations. People HATE criticism. There is also huge fear of the new, and change. I am sorry buckos, but if you want to make in the art field, it is all about criticism, change, and what is hot. There also seems to be a few main groups. Those who actually make a good living from their webcomics (Scott McCloud, Penny Arcade), those that support there webcomics via other endeavors (Myself), those that try to make a living off webcomics and live in squalor hoping beyond hope to hit the big time, and constantly putting "tip jars" up (most of the rest), and kids doing it in their freetime (not really serious). People listen, like any art field, 99% of you are not gonna make it, accept it, get a job, and live comfortably.

As for the criticism, it is funny, everyone can pile on and criticize the new kid on the block, but dare to criticize and instituion like MegaTokyo. I had mentioned that I felt it had run it's course and did not really see any value in it. WOW! It was like I attacked someones dead mother. I find MegaTokyo boring after about 3 strips. I love Ned, and could giggle at it all day.

I have alwasy said that is dogs and cats were people, dogs would be mentally retarded, and cats mentally ill . . .
I rest my case.

OK it was not me! I swear!
Even though I would wear a "Jeter is a Fag" shirt.

Oh China, when whilst thou learn.
Can anyone see another Cultural Revolution occuring there in the next 20 years?

So when do you think they make a remake of From Here to Eternity?

The Wraith.
Oh, and you may have noticed a subtle change in the latest Wraith.

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great

God gets quite irate.
