I don’t think putting out one thing every day necessarily results in crap…
Obviously not!
But doing something every day can result in less of an emphasis on quality control, lightning bugs instead of lightning, etc. And with comics that’s more the norm than it is with other mediums.
On the other hand sometimes spending a long long time on a piece of something has almost no effect on how good it is.
Basically, there’s no hope for art, is I think the ultimate thrust of the argument. There is hope for pastries however.
Thanks, but mine arrived intact as far as I can tell. It is so pretty.
They are shipping the things directly from China if you buy them at the Apple Store which may have something to do with the computers being damaged during shipping. Also it might maybe have something to do with how they are packed.
I don’t care that much about jokes, dude, your characters are living the most exciting life imaginable and they are real world inspired ones, so why worry? Just let them live and post us pictures, right?
I really like them. I even know people who are just like them.
It doesn’t need to be as detailed as Edmund Finneys journey or as wonderful as Gunnerkrigg Court, the neighbours you paint are wonderful just as they are.
Next fact: some stories look hilarious to some people, some to another. It will always be that way. Don’t try to make every story hilarious for everyone, it well may not be worth the painful effort.
Um I am not totally sure you understand the premise of this comic.
I am also entirely, thoroughly, and completely aware that not every story here is hilarious for everyone. In fact I have measured it and found that each Nobody Scores! comic adventure is hilarious for precisely 322 people whose set is in no way guaranteed to overlap the next 322.
Also when I read that comment I was like “what the fuck is Edmund Finney”? but I didn’t google it and only just now did I click on your profile link and find out that it was yours! So. You guys, you might want to check out Edmund Finney – it is a standard-style (if morbid) gag comic but it is quite a bit funnier than average and makes me not want to lose faith in comic strips which is nice. I giggled.
BBolt, have you considered trying to work with only three panels or something similar that imposes a level of control on your work? I know that’s against the open canvas, but I was curious.
Also, I would play both Protest Hero and Street Playin’ Kids. Just thought I’d say that.
I worked like that with the stuff I did prior to Nobody Scores (nine panel grids mostly) and maybe I’ll do it again afterwards but it seems contrary to what little principles this here cartoon has got.
I’m sorry. Please note that basements and abandoned warehouses offer much the same advantages as mountaintop caves, while having vastly better facilities.
“Spank the boosh” gets NO google hits. They covered their tracks well. The conspiracy theorist in my spleen tells me that the Boosh in fact have never been spanked, and own 87% of American traditional news media.

Alcoholic Milk. Y’know, I’ve been trying to find koumiss for sale in the US for years.

It’s called a “White Russian.” For instructions, contact your local Lebowski.

regarding today’s “table” comic : what happened to the door’s handle ? Did it move from one side to the other ?

Nngh.
Pretend it didn’t until I change the panel to reflect that currently imaginary reality, okay?

“Spank the boosh” sounds like a term for an extreme sexual act. Like, sex on a moving motorcycle or jerking off while skating on the half-pike.
Regardless, I’m curious as to what Beans is doing with butter, a carton of milk, and a pigeon.

Real life Jane Doe, I did not think anybody in the world would look or dress like that.
Jane Doe 10 years in the future:

The child looks like it might be Jane’s progeny.
More importantly, did somebody SCORE?
