i find reality based strips so much easier than fantasy based ones, also more fun but sometimes more embarrassing, too.

i like it and kinda agree with mr slinky about the font. have you thoroughly trolled blambot for free comicker fonts of which they have a plethora?

oh crap, i didn't have time to reply when i first saw it (didn't even have time to read akshly), and then it was marked as "read" & i forgot about it..... :oops:

THAT is rilly rilly most srsly very much of coolness made. srsly.

well, ok, not 100% coolness, there's definitely some disturbingness in there too......

y'know, there's money to be made with stuff like this, in the right market :wink:

lol- thanks guys :D

I am going to fix the font..with ILLUSTRATOR!! :tooth:
In illustrator you can "create outlines" with the fonts,
which turns them into objects, so that they'll be legible even when small. :???:

I agree that a smaller version of the strip would be better.
I shall return with fixed-ness!

I've tried doing comics about events of my life. But something stops me every time. Like when I writte it down it seems like a good idea. But then I go "waaait, I don't really want to tell this" or I somehow just competly change it without even an intention too do so.

But reailty based comics is as common today, and sometimes as annyoing as webbcomics about videogames.

Although my most commanly used character is very based on me.
