and after that post and the next cartoon i actually spent about 20 seconds staring at wallpaper. people are sleeping in the next rooms:) don't laugh loud.don't laugh loud.don't laugh loud. [Smile]

slighty better than this one. i didn't have to restrain myself and it gave me good views of my mousepad:). well, that and most times with yours i can't laugh out loud. hmm my mousepads getting worn. i think i can feel the increased oxygen to the brain affecting me. but if i stop breathing for about 10-20 seconds it goes away. i just got an addition to my sig.

This is just as good as Freefall if not better. You have to start from the beginning to get the whole story but it is great. I'm not even through half of it yet though. It started in November of '99 and they try to get one strip out a day. I am just now to '01 so only 2 more years to go! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
But I would recommend it to anyone.
It is based on this guys life, just with some stuff added to it to make it funny of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">OK, I started reading these. I'm still in early 2000, and some of the people and events in it are disturbingly similar to my life. When I was addicted to Final Fantasy, I played it every spare minute I had and I talked about it a lot, and people were tired of listening to me. This comic is an uncomfortable reminder to spend less time playing video games and to get a life... The comic is funny, though! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I could just go and post all the webcomics I read. There are 17 of them and only one of them has been linked to in this thread already.

Re: [OT] phoenix-D, I\'M SUING YOU!!!!:) (unofficial comics thread. why not?)

only 17?? i've got 112 at Last count http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

http://www.sinfest.net/ Great Comic, enough said

Schlock Mercenary is an incredible comic too, but it's been suggested already.

http://www.dangermouse.net/irregular/ Irregular Webcomic is hilarious too! If you have grown up on Lego or Roleplay Games it's incredible. Even just to see the Star Wars and Steve Irwin fight Cthulhu in lego style http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

*Just a bump, for all the new members*

Re: [OT] phoenix-D, I\'M SUING YOU!!!!:) (unofficial comics thread. why not?)

I'd like to give out free advice, to anyone who's thinking about starting a webcomic.

1: Do not use your own handwriting unless you get consistant compliments. *Big Problem. I don't know how many webcomics I've had to drop because, although they were good, or even great, I couldn't read some of the text or found it an eyestrain too.*

2: If you cannot meet #1, then at least a 10-point font, and get a friend to read any non-standard font to check for readability. *Font types aren't so much of a problem, but 8 or 6 point fonts can be as much of a problem as messy handwriting. Also, check to see if your server reduces image size. I don't know if you can do anything to get the larger image shown, but you could plan your comic around a smaller image size.*

3: Update regularly. Do not take unexplained, two month hiatuses. This means me.

4: And while I'm complaining here, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif check your text for contrast with the background. That can mess up readability too.
