I’m becoming competely obessive about my comic.<\/p>\n
I’m freaking out that I don’t have the comic done for NEXT TUESDAY, let’s start off on that. I’m putting my comic for NEXT TUESDAY higher on my list of priorities than, uh, my homework.<\/p>\n
And believe it or not, that Ren and Stimpy reference was completely<\/i> unintentional. I really have completed all the strips up to next Monday.<\/p>\n
Then there’s the popularity part – my comic is at #50 on TWC<\/a>, which isn’t really bad… but then again, TWC is only one of many top webcomics lists, and only the people I already know are currently the only ones who frequent the comic every day.<\/p>\n I steer away from lots of types of humor… excessive swearing, violence, sexual content… of course, I’ve touched on all of those topics, but they were all poking fun at how people use them to gain popularity – but I want popularity without that. Hum. Maybe a few more years and I’ll make it into the big time… or I could just become a hypocrite.<\/p>\n Humor is funniest when it comes to human suffering. I have to remember that. There has not been one joke that I’ve made without some exclamation of mental or physical superiority or reference to someone being harmed that people have laughed at. For example, here were the most successful strips to date:<\/p>\n It’s sad, and I try my best to make my comic good without that… but most of the time that just makes my comic cheesy or misinterpreted.<\/p>\n Every character in Mall Monkeys has a gun.<\/a> But they make me laugh anyway, so I give them a gold star.<\/p>\n So I’m open for constructive comments about my comic. I probably have enough ideas at this point to fulfill most everyone’s needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m becoming competely obessive about my comic.
