Cartoons to impress girls
« on: 13 Oct 2006, 19:35 »

Kids did it in the 40's and 50's, why not today? I don't see why respectable 20+ year old males can't offer a cartoon to impress a girl. Heck knows we do it with our cars and perfectly chiseled bodies (ahem...). This is what i told myself to help me get to sleep after i gave this to a girl i had a 'thing' for:

right well, tell me ladies, would you be impressed, nay, give a guy a second look after seeing that? Maybe i should have stuck with the car.

5 points for plugging your site three times in one post. Nice comic though.

I drew a little strip of me and my best mate when I wanted to woo him...
It worked  :laugh:

Ignoring your shamless plug, I think a comic would have a much bigger effect on me than a car or anything...

a friend of mine asked out his current girl by drawing a small comic on the back of a coaster one night at the pub (she was working at the bar) with a picture of him and a speech bubble with a "hey so i think you're pretty cool maybe you could call me here's my number" spiel.

so i guess it works, yeah.

I'd be flattered if a boy drew me a cartoon :( Unfortunatly, I'm guess I'm not a comic-giving material girl... or whatever.

Perhaps you just need to find a comic-book-giving kinda guy like those above.  I give my girl Sprees.  Tons and tons of Sprees.  They're way better than comics or flowers and taste better too!

As was I.  We all know being able to draw is all that matters.  That's why I keep my drawing hand wrapped in pillows when I'm not using it.

So...your date ends when the guy finds out you read comics.  Where are you meeting these guys at?  There's like a gazillion comic book loving dudes around.  Geeks need lovin' too!

oh, i met some. it was actually pretty weird, because i read so many gamer comics i talk to actual gamers and they can't tell the difference if im a real gamer or not...kinda like people who play guitar hero :D.

i was working at a movie theater and there was a con across the street and this guy comes over to get popcorn and stuff and we start talking about the con and hes not hiding the fact that hes dumbfounded theres a girl who sounds like a gamer. then he found out i had a boyfriend and it was all sad panda from there.

(yeah meeting guys who like that stuff is hard...but finding girls who like webcomics is even harder! and i mean that not in a lesbian-esque sort of way, but like a i-want-a-friend-whose-a-girl-who-reads-webcomics-because-my-parents-don't-approve-of-me-having-all-these-guy-friends...thing. yeah, even i got confused.)

Video game nerds and comic book nerds a made for each other. "But there the same" you say. WRONG. Besides, sa person who breaks up a date because you have certain hobbies (and i dont mean gutting sheep) must be pretty lame. But then again what would I know.

See, all of my friends from high school think that my reading comics makes me immature or something. So basically, I don't talk to them anymore. At least I don't still live at home, or go home every weekend from college. --And my one friend I've made on campus isn't so much into comics like I am, but she did make me join the Anime Club, which is cool.

yeah, well the group i usually hang around are all either motorcycle riders or total jocks...you know, the annoying in crowd from high school, only in my group there are less stds and alcohol fests.

but try watching me describe a comic i just read to them. its funny...in a really, really awkward way.

Based on my personal experience...

Giving a girl art can be a good thing, if she appreciate art.  She doesn't have to be nerdy to appreciate a drawing of her, though it might be better to offer her something that you displayed in your art class and then decided to give her.  Giving her a drawing of her which took you fifteen hours to do might come across as a little awkward - that's a lot of investment for a girl you haven't even gone on a date with.

You state she's not a nerd, so drawing her in a superhero comic might have been a risky bet.  Especially since it shows two female characters (IIRC), and basically seems to be playing into the repressed lesbian fantasies all us men have.  (Mmm... two super strong women tearing their capes off of each other...  Yum.)  Half of gift giving is picking something they want, not you want.  If the girl you want isn't into superheroes, draw her with the cast of the OC or Grey's Anatomy or something.

Sorry if I'm coming across as brutal, but don't ask questions if you don't want the condescending, uninformed masses of the internet if you don't want an answer.   :wink:  Don't get me wrong - I applaud your efforts and wish you all the best.

That's the whole reason I got into webcomic dude... CHICKS.

You just say "Oh yeah, I have a webcomic, it's on the internet an' stuff, no big deal." and they are like butter in your hands.

Careful...  What happens if your audience grows attached to your girlfriend's alter-ego, and then the two of you break up.  You'll be forced to redraw her over and over again, or you'll be forced to get rid of a beloved character...
