Hard work, dicipline, and much patience. I write a script, I go through two or three drafts of storyboards, and then I pencil a finished page. I scan it, ink and color with MS Paint. It sounds simple but it can be agonizing when I'm not happy with the look of a panel or the joke falls flat or when a character insists on talking too much and the text takes up most of a panel. I credit a crew made up of anagrams of my own name to make it look like I have a staff, just for my own amusement. It was sort of a one-time joke that carried on for the next few years.
If the colors are too bright for some of you, I did a few issues in black and white.
Here's one. Funny, I always thought colors were supposed to be bright, but then, remember, I had no formal art training.
Some of the feel in the story actually reminded me a little bit of Everything's Eventual collection....go to the library, pick it up, and look at all of the millions of things King does right in that collection, and where you failed.
I have the book, but I don't see the resemblance. Actually, it's closer to "The Moving Finger" in
Nightmares and Dreamscapes...which isn't believable, and that's the point. If logic prevailed the story would be two pages long. A guy sees a finger moving in his sink and calls a plumber. Boring. If it were written twenty years later he could have used a camera phone to take its picture. I think you're reading too much into it, and your nasty little comments might end up costing me sales and money in the long run. You're taking bread out of my family's mouth with your review, do you realize that?
So hurting those you believe hurt you is somehow worth more to you then your own mental health and well-being?
Yes. In fact, it would go a great way towards restoring my self-confidence watching them squirm and cry and beg for mercy at my feet.
The best revenge is living well.
No, the best revenge is keeping my enemies from living well by taking everything away from them. They don't want me in their world, enjoying their fancy little elitist perks, so I will do whatever I can to get those things away from them and take them for myself.
That is what will make me happy and healthy.
@The_Iconoclast
Turn off Limbaugh
Never.
@The_Iconoclast shave the sideburns
I tried that, but I looked too much like my late father for comfort. Reason #1 my ex left me-- I told her about his death, and it broke the first rule of college dating--no blah-blah about personal stuff (at least for the guy--if the girl does it, it's okay).
I have two dogs already. They'd get jealous.
@The_Iconoclastgo to the city and see the real world
You mean a place where I'll pay higher taxes, deal with crime and violence, can't turn on my lights at a certain hour because I might confuse a stupid sea turtle, can only have seven bullets in my gun, and am not allowed to have a large soft drink on the street or even get salt on the table in a restaurant? No, thanks.
@The_Iconoclast, find a hippy liberal goddess you can love and grow dreadlocks with
Who will then leave me for wearing the wrong color pants on a date (strike three with my ex, who was about as hippy-dippy as they come). Again, no, thanks.
Actually, some other people have suggested moving to a real Wikia, and I think it's a good idea. However, I need to finish some more character profiles and insert graphics before it's ready for the big time. You see, I have to share a computer with the rest of the family and I don't get as much time for web-building as I like. I'm behind as it is (and I'm afraid being on boards like this can't help, even if I am getting some great ideas).
