Guest comics

Would you like to see new quest comics?

I think is been a while since no guest comics have been updated in 8-bit. Plus, this last years have less GC than the first years. Why is that? What do you think?

I think that 8-Bit should only really use guest comics when Brian is on holiday, or is unable to write 8BT for some reason. Guest comics are a fun diversion and I almost always enjoy them when they ARE used, but most of the time, most of the people come to this site to see 8-Bit Theater by Brian Clevinger. I kind of feel the same way about the King Steve segments and the like: they're funny every once in a while, but the vast majority of the time I would prefer to see some kind of development in the actual, canonical 8BT storyline.

I agree. Brian has had a few guest comics in reserve ever since he changed apartments- he never got to post them because of three well-timed hurricanes- but he really hasn't had a chance to use them. I'd really only want to see guest comics whenever Brian isn't capable of doing one himself. It's better than nothing, but I'd rather it not slow down the story.

Personally, I would like to see some guest comics. Some of the last ones were really good. But there's also the thing that it delays the development of 8bit story.

I think that with the last hurricanes/storms there should be uploaded guest comics, as for Christmast time too. I really don't know why that didn't happened!

Not always though as with the case of Rich Burlow's guest comic when the party were on their way to see Sarda for the first time.

Guest comics were supposed to be uploaded when Brian changed apartments. However, he had to move during/immediately after hurricanes and then he had month long troubles with Bell South. Since then, he's never had an opportunity to put them up.

I can wait. I've already had my guest comic.

I wouldn't mind trying to make my own guest comic - but this is probably only for my own passtime pleasure and boredom... I always find it a jolly good larf to see how the fans think - but I agree it shouldn't be a constant thing, just something now and again.

Neh...I like guest comics, but...Maybe Brian could put in a more noticeable Guest comic area. Sort of like fan-fiction? I'm just saying that it might be a good idea. Not that it is a good idea...random unrelated things are generally funny.

Not that I dislike guest comics, but I'd much rather see updates of the real comic.
