If they did, people would actually pay attention to their products, the comic is stuck in my head and i dont even use lipstick!

Oh they tried. Old comics often had commercials in them. Usually narm-worthy and really really bad.

Like commercials for Hostess Cupcakes and such. Those are the inspiration for what I'm doing in The Dreadful

Like there would be one where Spider-man would distract the Lizard with a twinkie and capture him. I should have a comic where Kit is up against some sorta... dark lord of the abyss and she beats it with a candy bar.

I go back and forth with The Dreadful. Sometimes I want it really serious with a continuous story and other times I want it to be goofy with a bunch of disjointed mini-comics (like each story is only 4-5 pages long).

I wish I had started with the latter and then built up to a continuous plot, but I can't really do that now. I'd think jumping around too much would be confusing to new readers.

Maybe I could convince Brian to open up another Dreadful section of the site where I could put those. Like have the main comic be Kit, and then the other section be for mini stories like that (either featuring Kit or other characters, like El Sabueso or Liz). I could maybe have guest-writers or artists for those too.

Out of curiosity, did this one come up because of all us fruit-loops complaining about the lips in the new art style?

MSperoni · 10-29-2011, 02:48 PM

Pretty much, yeah

Liz likes the monies.

Unfortunately, working together ALSO means that it'll be hard to actually keep the money.

MSperoni · 11-02-2011, 04:38 PM

Yeah. Kit's not exactly fallen in with the most altruistic of partners here.

Looks like their partnership is already experiencing some problems...That was fast!

you should likely draw all the teeth that would be visible when someones mouth is open. It looks alot better and not like she only has 12 teeth.

Also, that mouth expression at the end seems somewhat unrealistic. because your mouth doesn't really make that shape when you yell that phrase.

Besides that good page.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
