Only an idiot would attempt to draw pages of 8-bit Theater.

Something about this statement intrigues me.

Translation: "I attempted to draw pages of 8-bit Theater."

Didn't work out? :P

This is what I mean when I say 8BT is a dead end for me as a creator. There's no future in it. While other webcomic artists invest years to build and develop their properties into something they can make a part of their on-going careers, I gave you guys nine years of my life to complete a project I knew couldn't go anywhere.

Way to be totally selfish, Mr. Clevinger!

Also, quick question here; is 8-Bit merchandise going to continue after the comic officially ends? Like when the epilogue goes up? Or will you scrap it and concentrate on your other projects?

Yes and no. It gave me an audience likely to be receptive to my other work, but I still have to start from scratch with them because there's no more 8BT. It's a huge risk and the best case scenario still has me losing at least half 8BT's readership.

I suppose to make the point more clear: while Gabe and Tycho recently started branching out with other comic side projects, you'll note they aren't going to stop doing Penny Arcade.

Plus any comics created in college don't count anyways ;P

That would be the first fifty pages. :P

8BT archives will stay online, so will the merch. If there's any plans to stop stocking the items, I'll make a news post about it ASAP.

Or a comic series.

Brian, if you manage to totally weasel your way into a respectable position(PFFFFFT) with Marvel, you should look into this.

If they try and force your hand, just say you'll have Wolverine on every cover. That seems to work a lot.

I just had this dark thought of Marvel heroes as the Light Warriors.

Is that viable?

[shiney]

Cheapest suggests such terrible quality that it may not even be worthwhile...kind of need a basis in reality of what product you're gonna get for $120.

Plus the whole needs to be 100% redone bit.

Also, the number of people who "would totally buy an 8-bit Theater book" is much, much larger than the number of people who would throw down $100+ for one.
