Could always make an "8-bit Theater: *Lame Subtitle*" new improved story, drop the blatant FF references, make it drawn, black and white (cheaper printing, right?).. etc..

Y'know, something manga-y only less (or more) stupid.

Hey! That's exactly what he shouldshouldn't do! Votes for Brian!

Thanks!Really, it's just way too much work for him and it's utterly viable that Square might still be able to claim copyright infringement and take everything away from him. After all 8-Bit is only marginally made of sprites not owned by Square, and if he bothered to create a world, or even use the same "setting" but ignored FF plot, there are only so many fantasy towns named "Melmond" or "Corneria" with characters similar to Square's own creations. Of course he could alter it so that it wasn't recognizable, and use completely different characters... but then it wouldn't be 8-bit theatre. As much as I hate to say it, it really is a dead end for him, creatively. One could, in theory, create such a thing, but I just can't see all the work needed actually paying off in the end, and it still might have legal troubles.

I'd totally throw down a hundred and twenty bucks for an 8bit Theater book.

All things considered, that actually seems like a very fair deal, and I've definitely spent more on less in my day.

Maybe he'll email you a trophy or a cookie or something.

ED: As a side-note, most of the work would be on the person who drew it, writers don't do crap but sit around in a drunken stupor laughing at people who buy their stuff, plot how to sell out and mash the keys on their keyboard (sometimes with their faces). Artists are even dumber for working for them. And as I've said, only an idiot would attempt to draw pages of 8-bit Theater. An idiot... or a madman...or a nerd... or Dr. Quincy M.E tag-teamed with Dr. Lucien Sanchez.

So, really, what you're saying is "I'm a masochist."?

I dunno, are you a masochist?

Like I said, download the full archive and head on over to Staples.

You'd need those long sheets of paper - stuffing an entire comic on a single page would make it unreadable and kinda ugly.

You'd halfta download the entire archives, split each comic in half, run over to staples, get a crap-load if paper and printer cartridges, a three ring binder and a hole-punch.

It could have grips fastened to it and double as weights for exercise equipment. The tagline could be like "Let 8-bit PUMP YOU UP...with LAUGHTER.."
