Nice articles, Lee-- thanks for sharing!
Hey Jesse,
Overall nice stuff--
a few comments:
1. I looked at your older stuff on your other website also-- The newer stuff is fine, but my favorite were always the ones where Chester and Emily were laboratory subjects ( whether willingly or not )…
That's a really interesting idea.
The comics do a nice job of "humanizing" you to the audience. On a lot of politicians' websites, the goal appears to be to make the candidate seem as robot-like as possible. I like your site better.
Thanks Lee-- I'll keep it in mind.
Leann-- yeah, writing the captions is tough. When I'm coming up with ideas I just jot down the first caption that comes to mind-- but that caption almost *never* makes it into the final product. ( in fact, it's be…
hmmm... maybe I can replace the truck with a helium-transport-Segway ( or hoverbike ) to bring it into modern times...
Thanks again Josh!
"Josh-- For the helium-truck comic-- is it the idea behind it that feels oldish or the way the joke is told? In the final I phrased the joke in kinda a detached but straightforward way. Before that, I had thought about using the helium-truck as the…
"Example: What if you thought of several support group gags? It seems like there'd be a lot of great material there. And what if the group were the same three characters, no matter what support they needed? What if grandma was one of them? I don't k…
The Far Side pulled in a sense of continuity with reoccuring characters, though not in the traditional sense. They didn't have names or narratives that were followed over time.
However, there were the usual suspects: nerd boys, ladies with horn-rim…
I already said I liked your cartoons but I'll repeat here. Several of them gave me a good laugh. Since I draw single panel cartoons myself I am a little partial to them. It takes time and thought to tell the whole story in a single drawing with a we…
If you're looking to do a daily strip, find SOME way to consciously pull it together.
Some people do it on purpose, some people do it intuitively. Since "intuitively" isn't working for you (yet), try "on purpose," realizing that it will define the…
Totally read it and then not comment? :D

Those are some really nice strips and the book title is also amazing. The banjo ones hit a little close to home, though... ... for a friend of mine... more of an acquaintance, really.
I'll try check ou…
Hey Lee,
Thanks for the advice and comments. I guess, personally, I would say that my drawings are simple, lettering is childish, and balloons are awkward. I really like the inclusion of the word "deceptively," though, so I'm not going to argue. You…
Hey, Ross K.
First, I REALLY liked your cartoons. I think they felt more like greeting cards (in a good way) than a themed wacky panel, which is what I think you intended.
Some of them were REALLY quite clever and funny, and I liked your "attitude…
Hey everyone-- thanks so much for the advice and comments. I really appreciate it.
Malc-- You nailed several problems I have with drawing comics ( non-organic objects, spending a lot of time just trying to decide on what the characters will look li…
I agree, this is some very funny stuff. I think you could team up with a couple of cartoonists if you can knock these things out, as a means of making money while you place this panel. The horrible thing is, we cartoonists have no idea what is funny…
