karchesky)
Hello there. I'm new here and thought I should introduce myself. Well, as my profile says, I'm karchesky, and since I'm here you can probably guess that I draw comics. Actually I'm just a beginner. Anyways... I'm working on a comic right now, called Imaginary Daughter, about a father and his daughter, who just so happens to be imaginary. Who whoulda thought so from the title, huh? I'd like to invite you to give it a look, but also to criticize it if you'd like. I realize I have a long way to go before being able to pull off a good quality webcomic, and I'm looking forwards to feedback from anyone but specially from my fellow comic creators.
That said, I'll leave you with the first strip as well as links to my LiveJournal and my homepage. Cheers!

Check out Villain Next Door and save the Boy!
It's a funny marketing ploy and a great comic!
webcomicsrosalarian2)So I've been looking back through my art over the last four years that I've been doing my main webcomic. The art has gone through a huge evolution. So I thought it'd be fun for all of us, or at least those with long-running series, to post some comics from the beginning, middle, and current stages of their stories, to see how we've all improved!
This can also apply to writing. What was the story first about? What kind of arcs did you have? What's going on now?
( Mine is under the cut. 500 pages over four years sure does make for some interesting changes. )
So what it yours like? No comic is too great or small to post. Don't be shy!
Make a separate post for yours, or this comment thing will overflow! (tag it "evolution")

I finally managed to make my laptop's optical drive region free using a firmware update revision. Now I'll be able to watch the UK collection of Spaced I ordered earlier this week.
Simon Pegg is awesome. I have a slight crush on him too...

Today, I'll post about a topic that has been on my mind quite a bit lately. I have no understanding as to why I have been obsessed with it, but hopefully posting it here will allow me to focus my mental powers to more beneficial topics.
When I was a kid (probably around 6 or 7 years old) I discovered the knowledge that urinating on an electric fence was a pretty bad idea because the electrical currents could easily pass through liquids resulting in a nasty shock. I've never experienced this first hand as I was quite a paranoid child (go figure... it seems much hasn't changed). My paranoia was so powerful that I believed the ability to travel “upstream” was not limited to electricity alone. I came to fear bacteria, viruses, etc (then known to me as (“germs”) could also travel much like salmon preparing to spawn. I had a myriad of methods to avoiding contamination by the multitude of unsavory organisms that reside in a toilet. Anyone listening to the bathroom sounds might easily assume I was encountering difficulties with the task of unloading my bladder. Little would they have known the difficulties would have been solely psychological and not physical.
Thankfully, I can say that I successfully dropped this delusion many years ago.
bolindbergh)Thunderstruck, installments 553, 554, and 555: ( massive spoilers ). This is surely one of the greatest mindfucks in webcomic history, comparable to anything the Head Alien from It's Walky! ever did.

sammytagal)Today, more so than any other day, there appears to be some sort of weird idea going around local residents that I just know books off the top of my head. Like the words "middle school boy" should immediately invoke a bazillion books that would be of interest. Except, for one thing, I never was a middle school boy, so I'm way better at recommending books for girls (also because that is what I like to read. Hatchet is on my to-read list.) I can only really do fantasy recommendations for them.
Also this gem. "there's this a to z thing my son likes. Can you tell me the author?" In my mind, I'm wondering, since I haven't seen her son and have no idea how old he is, is it a book about the letters of the alphabet? is it a mystery series? is it some other sort of strange thing?
So I ask if she knows what the books are about. She knows they are a series. She looks like she's getting frustrated because I don't instantly know what she's talking about. I ask how old her son is. She says it's a middle reader series. I bring her over to the one middle reader series I know about (A to Z Mysteries) and ask if that is it. She says she doesn't know, she's not the librarian.
Sigh.
And then, she says she could ask her son if it's the right thing. Oh, your son has been here all along? THEN WHY COULDN'T HE TALK TO ME?
Seriously, most of the time the parents cause more problems than the kids.
I have an infected eyelash follicle.
How is everyone else doing? I know that my complaint isn't really big in the scheme of things, but today seems to be: "help my kid is *insert age or grade here* what kind of book will they read?" Perhaps you should ask your kid, or maybe you should be a bit more specific.

A little proposal from Matt Shepherd of Man-Man.
"Musicals are notoriously hard to do in cartoon format, by the way.
But if you know of anyone who’d be willing to give it a go, we’re [Man-Man & Dr H] using essentially all the same jokes."
For that matter, what other comics (superhero or otherwise) are crying out for the musical treatment?

Just a little short comic I did recently that I thought I would share.

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...
Pure Nerd
61 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 35% Dork
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.
The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.
Congratulations!
Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Professional Wrestling
Love & Sexuality
America/Politics

What is new. Here is a recent comic from True Facts About Hammerhead Sharks, which I recommend checking out if you are a fan of irregular updates and inconsistant art and jokes. I know I am!
