I am quite new to the whole idea of comics, at least in a more deliberate form (I'm sure everyone has scribbled a comic down in a school book) so it is taking a while to get used to. Also in the other sense of medium, I am currently using inks and brushes which is once again a novelty... I never enjoyed painting very much, preferring the better control that pencils offer, but am now finally beginning to enjoy the challenge and different results it produces. That said I might try out using pens/markers which seem to be the more popular choice amongst most contemporary comic artists.. still very much at an experimental stage.
Thanks for pointing these things out. I have changed the subtitle, and corrected the typo. As to the alignment, text, etc.. I really am a complete novice when it comes to website design. I have very little idea of how to correct even the simplest things.
If you had the time or inclination I could allow you access to change the few things you mentioned? I am trying to keep the site as basic and uncomplicated as possible at the moment, rather if it worked simply and well than be cluttered with unnecessary links, and and so on.
Thank you for all the feedback. I see what you and atmosphere mean about lack of focus or direction. My initial idea was to have each comic as a standalone strip. I am personally quite lazy when it comes to browsing webcomics and prefer something which I can just drop into at any point and be amused by. I really like the Far Side, and wanted to be able to do something similar in the sense of simplicity..most of Larsons cartoons are a single panel. I like the challenge of condensing a fairly complex joke or idea to a form where it is easily read but loses none of its intended impact (not to say that many of the ideas in my comics so far are complex, only that I could technically have doubled the number of panels for each idea)
To begin with I was preferring to use no or as little dialogue as possible, but with the more recent concepts I have had I am using more. I was also thinking of bringing in recurring characters, without going so far as a storyline.
Really like this. Have only skimmed it before but a more in depth read today and it has grown on me.
One of my favourite comics is probably Buttercup Festival which doesn't really have a story line but is I think very nicely drawn.
TL;DR: Once again thank you all for you comments, I will give them all some thought.
