So, I started my own webcomic a while back. The title of it is "Another Comic Strip with a Guy and a Talking Monkey" and the title pretty much says it all. It's under my site I called dead horse. Because another web comic staring a guy and a monkey is flogging a dead horse. I try to update once a week. Anybody interested in reading it can check it out. www.dead-horse.com/strip1.html |

Thanks. I find it really cool that everyone I've shown it to has a different favorite. So far the only one that has gotten more than 1 vote is #2. Although, they seem to like the setup comment (which I stole) more than my punchline.

Ya; I've been reading it for the last couple of weeks and I really like it. Although... maybe it's just me going blind, but the font seems to be a bit on the "hard-to-read" side... You should try to steal Dan's spot in "here"  |

You should try to steal Dan's spot in "here" Don't think HERE would like the amount of naked chicks I draw. Yeah, the font is hard to read. I draw it 7800px wide. And when I optimize it for web, it goes 775px wide. The font suffers. I'll redo the strips and make them easier to read. |

You should try to steal Dan's spot in "here" And the "less than slave-labor" dollars per hour that go along with it. |

So far I've managed to print a charred body, a woman dying during pregnancy joke, an anime porn joke, an autism joke, a barfight including puke, made fun of an old man with Alzheimer's, disrespected Terry Fox and had a man in women's leopard print lingerie in an Irving run newspaper. It makes me wonder if they ever read it before they run the thing. |

It makes me wonder if they ever read it before they run the thing. Yes, valid points. But I'm still an uninformed hater. So I say sellout. I don't think I could ever use seriously use the term sellout. Douglas Coupland printed a great comic strip in one of his novels. It was of a business man in a suit and tie, looking at a record and talking to a young kid. The business man is telling the kid how much he liked that band before they sold out. Dan's well aware, but just for anybody that doesn't know, I was a big fan of Dan getting his strip printed in [HERE] and pushed him to do so. It really suprised me that some people that though it was a bad move. |

The only way to avoid "selling out" is to keep being a 17-year-old hippy (or punk rocker) all your life.
The next step, apparently, is to movie to Montreal 'cuz they're fucking everywhere around here!

If he could get like $50,000 a year for his strip I would encourage him to sell the fuck out in a sexond, cause god knows any of us would! ;D |
