To syndicate or not to syndicate, that is the question.

Hi, folks.
This is a self-promoting interlude.
I just began a weekly column over at projectfanboy.com.
You can access it directly at http://comicsproprep.projectfanboy.com.
The column is called Comics Pro Prep, and it's about the same stuff I'...
Lee, your golf gag analogy is quite apposite. The problem with too many strips is they're golf gags designed by and written by golf fans for other golf fans. Calvin and Hobbes was simply an excellent strip which cut across what many people expecte...
The problem with the politics forum wasn't the bickering (as I remember it), from my point of view it was the fact that one person kept posting the most simplistic, sophomoric political views, his name was everywhere, starting thread after thread....
Time to revive this thread?
Here's another pet peeve: sloppy hyphenizat-
ion.
I really enjoy reading Doonesbury, but I always cringe when they break words oddly. Often, I can see where, with just a little thought, the dialog could be arranged to ...
Actually, I think we got it back on track immediately after driving a stake through the heart of the political forum.
I worked often to bring up new topics for discussion...but we needed (and need) more people doing that. I realized it wasn't wor...
Yeah, thats true. It seemed when this place was really rolling it was due to the politics forum, but it was always just a bunch of bickering and neverending spin. I miss the activity, but not enough to bring that part of it back. Sometimes I feel ...
I think they visit but don't have much to offer.
The trick with this (and any) site, is getting enough momentum for it to be self-sustaining.
We're not quite to the point where there are a lot of concurrent conversations, and a broad mix of peop...
Speaking of "whos on this forum", it seems Darrin and Wiley never are, at least lately. Did they go off together on some romantic cartoonist getaway or something?

unfortunately, all of my creative super powers involve Microsoft Excel.
Don't follow what is perceived to be popular...do something different. Popular is, quite frankly, boring, as far as format goes.

I've kind of always written like that for my long form comics. I have a bare bones plot, just so I don't go to far off the rails. But I try and leave things as open as possible in case I wanna change something here or there.
I wish I could write ...
That need to write well is key, as Lee pointed out. I admit, I do write a bit like King, sometimes having no idea where a story will take me. As for a writer it keeps things interesting and less scripted. As far as accomplishing anything anyone el...
I don't have it, but the superpower I most admire is timing. Each strip that I read religiously, has it nailed. Whether it moves quickly or saunters, the timing is key. Some strips have good gags, but are frustrating when they jerk or change speed...
Yep. Probably Tuesday for at least six months.
awesome news Lee. Is it going to be a weekly column?
That's quite a task you've set for yourself, Rachel.
Good luck with it.
Don't know if it will help, but I'm attaching an "introduction to the comics form" talk that I did at a local library. It turned out to be a little TOO far-reaching, and it ...
