Webcomic

[Solon]

Well, I enjoy browsing through xkcd (http://www.xkcd.com) from time to time, and today at work I was bored and decided to sketch my own little comic thing, which I drew up a bit better at home since it had been drawn on receipt paper at work..

This is just another one I thought up at work while I had the song "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini stuck in my head. If you've heard the song hopefully you'll get this..

It'd be cool to see other people's 'comics' if they have any too! :globe:

Energy Drinks are to me what spinach is to popeye.

And the title should have been "Webcomics", I screwed the plural over there.

[idefiXX]

Yeah, I drank energy drinks during my 4-5 hour exams, they kept me alive !

I used to be pretty good at drawing Donald Duck, but I tried it yesterday, and I guarantee you - I will never publish the result ! ;)

No one..? I think of them at work, jot down the idea on receipt paper from the till, get home, draw them, scan them, upload them on my blog and post them here. I'm not really sure if there's anything (funny) about them though.

Yes. I think my official job title is "sales assistant" or something. Basically I work in the petrol station doing tills, cleaning pumps, stocking shelves, bringing stuff over from the main store etc. etc. Just general, boring, monotonous work really.

And I see all sorts :laugh:

Those "sales assistants" have a pretty hard job here in Germany. During the weekend or during the night, petrol stations are the only place to get alcohol. So they have to serve drunk teenagers (you get beer with 16, the harder stuff with 18).
btw. - The US will be pretty hard for me, since I am not 21, but already used to alcohol :biggrin:

Solon - keep those comics coming !

[jkrzok]

For the first time today I've read through all of Solon's material at a leisurly pace. Let me hand it to you, Solon, you've got talent, they're much better than many cartoons I see on the internet.

I especialy love the "Dad?" in the gas station and the tattoo close up.

Please, keep me and us amused.

[acushla]

I have to agree with Jkrzok...I found these very entertaining and was disappointed when I realized I had read them all.

I hope you continue portraying what is a very simple, unique and slightly twisted perspective which allows the reader to see the reality of where it originates.

A sort of learning...if you will.

[WHAT?]

I know someone who can draw. (But maybe that'll take away from your charm.) Anyway, just thinking you two should get together. As long as you have ideas, he can draw M up.:knocked-o

I quite enjoy the drawing aspect of it, even though I'm not very good. It gives me full control and it's quite fun (hard) to try and get stick figures to have the "expression" you want them to, seeing as they don't have faces.. I think it's partly to do with the wording too.

Let me hand it to you, Solon, you've got talent, they're much better than many cartoons I see on the internet.
Thanks! They're just a hobby at the moment, I know some of them are hit and miss, or "you-had-to-be-there-to-get-it" types, but I know I've done a good job when I go back and look at them and laugh myself. The fart one makes me laugh every time.

I hope you continue portraying what is a very simple, unique and slightly twisted perspective which allows the reader to see the reality of where it originates.

Remember...it would be a major mistake to separate the 'drawings' from the 'text'...they work together and each is an extension of the other.

Change one of those aspects and you no longer have the original.

I hate to break it to ya, but all comics have rough drafts, changes, and throw aways. Some (definitely not all) have a writer, and an artist.
Some of my favorites are "Mother Goose and Grim", also "Zits". They sometimes show rough drafts as a come-on! Both use them from time to time in their tile area. Mainly seen in the bigger Sunday paper.

I've seen others in books about this subject (namely Calvin Hobbs - Bill Watterson).http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/Calvin_%26_Hobbes_-_Hobbes.png And have seen it on TV programs about the subject. It's absolutely amazing how well they turn out from the original draft.

SeriouslyI understand perfectly where you are coming from...what I am saying is that Solon's work, as it is presented, IS the finished product. That is part of it's charm. Now, if there were drafts before that lead to the final 'look'...that's fine...just keep in mind that what you see is the final. I truly do not believe that the presentation, in keeping with the concept, could be 'improved' upon. It is perfect exactly as it is.

Great stuff! I find I can relate rather easy. It's the content man, the content. The drawings fit perfectly IMO. Faces would reflect personality.

Well, it's just a thought.
I hate to see starving artist is all.
Besides I wasn't talking perfect characters, if that's in anyone minds. Just something more marketable.
I've seen plenty of hodge podge stick comics around over time. Good as they are, they just don't go forward. But hey, there is always a first!
I like them as they are here in this venue. But for Solon's sake, I'm thinking outside this box (and complementing him at the same time).

My advice would be to try and stay away from the 'toilet' humour. In the end it adversely affects everything else...most of all your reputation.

I think if I was you (and I'm not) I would pick a magazine I would like to see the work published in (The New Yorker for instance) and then gauge each work by the litmus test of...would it be appropriate for that magazine.

Just a suggestion from someone who sincerely thinks you have a talent and would like to see you succeed.:)

In the mean time, I thought I'd see how it went down if I tried drawing expressions on their faces. I drew them with expressions, then rubbed them out using gimp when I scanned it to create one with and one without.
Let me know what you think as to which direction I should go/stay in.

I'm also not too sure about the content on this one.. don't know how well it works.

If you've never heard of Demetri Martin you should check out some of his stand-up on YouTube; seriously funny stuff.
He's a one-line comedian, much like the style of Mitch Hedberg, but without the focus on drugs...

My original idea included both part one and part two, but I figured it would have made it too long to have it all in one comic, so I split it into two, although that makes the first one look like a direct take from one of Demetri Martin's stand-up jokes, but yeah. Hope you like it!

Edit: Ah crap I forgot to make the other character in the last one a female... damn.

Hmm not really when it comes to standup. some of the comedians I like are ricky gervais, lee evans, mitch hedberg, demetri martin umm.. some others who I can't think of right now.

hehe, I did it for a competition type-thing at the cyanide and happiness forums. I got 7/15, but they judged out of 5 for art, creativeness, and joke. I think I got 0 for art, seeing as the other people all have colours and proper characters! heh. I chose *squeeze* 'cause of these two from C&H:

and there's a few others featuring squeeze.

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

Well I was more referring to the guy transforming into a transvestite? Squeeze is good though. There was one like that on the CAD-comic site as well.

So for this one I decided to draw the comic background, replicate it three more times to create four frames. Then I sliced in the stick-figures I'd drawn separately.. I think it worked fairly well. Any comments on this process?

It was supposed to speed everything up, but the editing took god damn ages.. so I'm not even sure how good the joke is in this one any more I've been staring at it for so long it's just lost all it's effect on me.

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I think it's kinda funny. Shitty songs deserve blood and carnage. :)

and i'm, like totally offended now too ha ha haBrian Regan is the funniest man on earth.

Period.

No further discussion.

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

Today I have been to the best presentation ever! It was given by Jorge Cham, the creator of the PhD comic (http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php). The theme was on the power of procrastination. Very entertaining, apt and hilarious. :laugh: I bought one of his comic books (a compilation of the comics from the 1st year he started drawing them) and got it signed by him. Totally rad! And to think I only discovered these oh so appropriate comics regarding my current PhD a month ago. :beer:

I think it's kinda funny. Shitty songs deserve blood and carnage.and good ones ha ha ha :unholydeathfuckin'metalicon:

I tried to block it out of my memory.

Haha Todd! Goatse? Seriously!? I think I know what floats your boat! :silly:

anyhoo... I'm going back to uni a week yesterday, and I wont have access to a scanner there unless I take one from home with me, but I don't think anyone will miss my comics for a few months while I'm away so I doubt it's worth it. I've got a couple more I can draw up from rough ideas but after that I think the comic will end, either for ever or unless I can be assed in December when I get back, I might do some then.. so enjoy the last few, I hope they amuse. The next one will hopefully be up before the end of today (thursday gmt +1)

If you really loved me (like you say you do) you would take a scanner.

I don't know how well this one works, I'm trying to get back into the swing of making comics and this was the first one that came out. Hopefully more to follow.

anyway here's another for your (hopeful) enjoyment.

Bored student :ponder: criticism is good though thanks :)

[Todd The Kiwi]

criticism? dude, those last 3 were so bad :depressed

[Willow of Oz]

I quite liked the Change one.

[Solon]

If only one person likes a comic that's still a good start I think. Obviously there's a ton of room for improvement though!

Ok, try this one (http://bp2.blogger.com/_a9dOeYLea5o/SF062-1ootI/AAAAAAAAAIY/eF0WmvPcdOo/s1600-h/WhatEveryPartyNeeds.JPG) on for size.

[Todd The Kiwi]

that one made me laugh, not aloud but still :silly:

[Solon]

This is just an accurate representation of fact :silly:


I think I got the wording right, I was going to go with "Hours Todd is Bored" or something like that, but as it is, I think the over exaggeration is better.

[squeege2]

Now that.....was funny! har:laugh:

and so you should! :silly:


Let me know if I'm way off the mark with these:



EDIT: Here should be a working link! (http://bp2.blogger.com/_a9dOeYLea5o/SF7O2_gHubI/AAAAAAAAAIg/1xniW7TCsDY/s1600-h/onyourlap.JPG) I hope.

Possible NSFW here so it's a highlight job.

So I'm checking my account on statcounter because I haven't been on it for so long and I was wondering if I was getting any hits (turns out, not really). Anyway, the account has an old old article I wrote a long time ago on it too, which for some reason is the most visited at around 3,500 visitors. I was wondering why so I went to "came from" and "keywords", turns out that when people search for "ugly pussy" (and a lot of people have) on Ask Jeeves images, on of the ones on the first page is from my article (it's on the Pussy Cat Dolls), and the image is called "ugly whore (http://bitterdays.bravehost.com/BitterDays/graphics/pictures/uglywhore.jpg)" (don't worry no nudity, the image is actually fine).
Anyway I just thought that was a pretty funny thing to find out and had to share it with someone, but it's 3.13am and no one's around so I came here :silly:

Hmm links don't seem to white out.

Also keen to know what everyone thinks of the new "comics", worth doing more?

[Todd The Kiwi]

NEITHER of those links work dude...

oh and to white out a link you have to /COLOR it

[Solon]

NEITHER of those links work dude...
I've edited the previous post, here's the link again: http://bp2.blogger.com/_a9dOeYLea5o/SF7O2_gHubI/AAAAAAAAAIg/1xniW7TCsDY/s1600-h/onyourlap.JPG

Should work now. But it's also started showing up for me again in the original post, this is very weird

What other link were you talking about?

It's hideous! What's worrying is that some people out there would have put this in the babe thread.

Not saying anyone here, just people *out there*.
