At least 10% of the hits I get are searches from MSN and Google, looking for porn. I've hed searches for the weirdest kinds of porn too, including Power Rangers porn!

I do two webcomics:

Stripped Books — An irregular, non-fiction comic strip in which I cover book- and comics-related events in comic strip form. Previous subjects include Marjane Satrapi, Neil Gaiman, Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith and Stephen Mitchell. The current strip is being serialized (part one of three has been posted), which adapts a panel between Chris Ware, Seth and Ivan Brunetti.

Multiplex — A weekly, digitally illustrated comic strip revolving around the staff of a movie theater. It's pretty much a gag strip, and it's roughly PG13 (not much cussin', no nudie bits... yeah, I know, sorry -- but occasionally there's some off-color humor). It's been running for about six months now, and so there's about 26 strips (plus one strip I did for HER! creator Chris Bishop's birthday).

Yep.

Send comments and feedback to me directly if you want. E-mail's at the sites.

We could always advertise on one another's pages and share the fans we have.

Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea! We should totally start a forum of our own, based off this thread, for webcomics creators who are just starting up, and want help and advice and whatnot from other webcomic creators who are at about the same level. Sort of a webcomics support group!

What does everyone think? I say we put the connections we've started making through this thread to good use!

Ooh, a thread just for whoring! I'm an inveterate whore, so let me just squeeze into the old stilettos...

My comic's name is Monkey Law. It runs three times a week and features monkeys and sheep. Some profanity and drug-related humor can be expected.

Hope you like it.

i've been working on a sort of graphic journal type thing with a friend of mine for over a year now. it's called "surely functional." we just recently decided to put stuff on the web, and maybe i was naive but i had no idea how many webcomics there were out there. somehow inspiring and daunting at the same time.
anyway, he's an amazing artist, and i try to keep up with the writing. we're just a weekly, and we started posting from the beginning of the series, so the stuff going up these days is from last year. but today we posted one of our favorite pieces.
the site is www.surelyfunctional.com i hope you check it out. i've definitely been digging a lot of the work i've found through this thread.

http://www.jodys-world.com

Uh, its a comic about me and a couple friends, and there are no women in the strip because I really can't draw women no matter how hard I try. Also I haven't updated in weeks because I've been playing Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing: Wild World. Possibly NWS, but I don't really think so. Also I plan to actually update again starting monday.

MutantCircus · « **Reply #211 on:** 27 Dec 2005, 02:39 »

I sure know that feeling. My site averages 50-70 hits a day now, with a grand total of a whopping 17 people registered on my site's forums... 17? Out of the more than 6,000 hits i've recieved since I've started watching my site's traffic, only 17 people have bothered to register. And for the most part only 2 of them ever post. I can't understand why people find it so hard to just register on forums and talk once in a while. I'm registered on the forum of almost every webcomic I read, simply so I can give the artist a pat on the back when he does an especially good job.

If anyone here has some advice on getting your readers to start doing more on your site than just laughing at the new comic and leaving, I'd love to hear it.

Liam · « **Reply #213 on:** 29 Dec 2005, 18:08 »

Howdy.

I draw Ruhopty, a color webcomic hand-drawn and semi-realistic. It's kind of autobiographical, based on me and my friends. We're not funny, but the comic is. My influences include Pvp, Real Life, Mac Hall, and of course, QC. The humor is random, witty, and is occasionally geeky.

I really just started, so any feedback is appreciated.

Thankya kindly.

Mollinda · « **Reply #214 on:** 30 Dec 2005, 07:13 »

Hey liam, I think the main problem with your comic is it's very washed out. You can have faint lines or pale colours but not both. I think more definite, strong lines would improve it no end

MutantCircus · « **Reply #215 on:** 31 Dec 2005, 04:15 »

Yeah, the comic could use some stronger outlines or more contrast in the colors, right now ithe characters tend to blend in with the background.

waldflieger · « **Reply #216 on:** 12 Jan 2006, 22:09 »

I draw a comic called "Obscured by Species," found at http://www.obscuredbyspecies.com. It's about a world composed of anthropomorphic animals, robots, and some people, too. Gag strip updated three times a week (standard MWF). It features a pants-wearing penguin, a video-game playing monkey, a ninja guinea pig, and a robot who can't draw worth squat.

I e-mailed Jeph when I first got my little webcomic online, and he was nice enough to give me a few kind words and some awesome advice. So cheers!

Anyway, uh, yeah, just pimping my new webcomic, Motivationally Challenged

It's a slice of life/humour thing so far, although later it'll involve more than that. So please, take a look and let me know what you think!

Howdy, my name is B. I did a comic for a while called Cavemonster and now I'm on to my second project.

http://www.iamarocketbuilder.com">I am a Rocket Builder

I wanted to do a lot of different kinds of work. Rocket Builder is split into four separate comics that will all tell one story with Richard Brautigan, Jean Michelle Basquiat, and Bones the cat with an eye patch among many others.

Let me know what you think!

Stifled Dreams · « **Reply #220 on:** 26 Jan 2006, 13:49 »

Hmm, it seems like your website needs a bit of work (the next buttons don't work for me? there are also some messed up links, etc.) but I cannot explain to you how much I dig your art. Clean, great colors, and the style really conveys the kind of story I assume you're trying to tell. I like the lettering, too.

Link me to Cavemonster, please?

Good day. I have decided to plug my comic, The Mulberry Gallows Project

http://www.mulberrygallows.com

Essentially, the comic revolves around intense consumption of tea, badminton, lonliness, and flowers. My apologies if you are looking for video game parody. Posting also allows me take a break from dreaded Rate Laws of Analytical Chemistry, which, I do, and in fact, hate.

I've already posted one comic in here, but I ended that comic a while ago. I'm now drawing a comic called Infinite Stupidity. It's basicly a slice of life comic revolving around gags. Plenty of those around.

I've also started up a webcomics commentary site, along the same lines as WebSnark which is going to be written by cartoonists. I'm still getting it off the ground That can be found here

My comic is called EP Comics (Link=http://epcomics.comicgen.com).

EP is a gamer comic with a few off-topic gags. A storyline will be popping up evenutally, but the project has just started. There's nothing too bad on it, but some may find it offensive, and I wouldn't highly reccomend visiting at work. Again, there are no explicit images, but it's not exactly for kids. Thanks for your time

MutantCircus · « **Reply #226 on:** 11 Feb 2006, 10:12 »

I have one suggestion for you. If you're going to go with black and white like that, I'd suggest thicker line art. It's slightly difficult to catch all the detail with such thin lines.

death-moose · « **Reply #227 on:** 12 Feb 2006, 06:47 »

Thank you, and we will be alternating between coloured and black-and-white until we get the hang of this. We are, after all, still in grade 12, so we've gotta learn to juggle this with school. Thanks for the constructive criticism!

Matt · « **Reply #228 on:** 16 Feb 2006, 03:41 »

Hello, I draw Fodi.

Beneath a thin shell that appears to be some guys and their adventures, I've got an evil plot going on between several sides. Mostly I try to tell a story through jokes. There are some clichés. Zombies factor in a bit. As do ninjas (Though not too much, despite what you might think from the url). I've also got a winged girl who isn't quite socially adept, having been accidentally created without any sort of social or moral guidance.

I can also never properly describe the comic.

Comments and criticism welcome. I'd like to grow.

Thanks for checking it out.

Erik the Hack · « **Reply #229 on:** 16 Feb 2006, 21:34 »

Hi All,

I wrote Suzie View back in 2004/2005 and now I'm taking another shot at syndication with a little something called Avalon Alight. What's it about? Well, it's your typical gag-a-day mystery comic in which the main character only knows as much as the reader, so if I told you what's going on it would definitely spoil the fun. Wacky amnesia fun!

Hi Jeph, hi everyone!!

I just wanted to say hi and say that I've been reading the archives for the last week or so, and it's a damn good comic!! Some of the most in depth characters I've seen. Admittedly I don't get a lot of the indie music jokes (sorry, but I'm a through and through greb/rocker) but it doesn't detract anything from the comic!!

I do have a webcomic, called Battle Barge, and if you want to take a look, it's over at http://battlebarge.hughesd.co.uk. I'd appreciate any hints and tips on drawing the characters, especially hands. I've been getting a few tips, but I think QC probably has the best anatomical figures I've seen on a non-manga webcomic...

A chap named dingareth from the Golden Throne forum mentioned QC to me and asked me to put a linky button on the comic site, which after reading a couple dozen of the strips was only too happy to do!

Oh, and check out http://www.the45rebellion.co.uk. they're a band a mate of mine is in, and I checked them out at a pub gig last Tuesday and they are damn good!!

Sorry for waffling a bit! Thanks for reading!!

Dave.

super_rad · « **Reply #239 on:** 08 Mar 2006, 16:55 »

hey everyone!

my name's connor, i'm new on the forums, and i thought that i might as well take advantage of this little comic posting thinger, and post my comic!

so yes, my comic is called Super Rad! The comic is about two guys, Samuel and Conrad, who discuss many things, from philosophy to, ahem, toilet humor.

i'm frightfully sorry about the artwork. i only had a limited time to scan them at my friends house, so i drew them up in around a half hour and now am forced to work with the same three images in every comic. it's hard to make things funny without props or a general storyline! but i will try my hardest if i can get votes on topwebcomics and buzzcomix.

so, feedback would be appreciated, and thanks to anyone who checks out the comic!

Do you like copy pasted stick figures and sadistic wit? No? Oh.....

Clegg · « **Reply #241 on:** 12 Mar 2006, 23:32 »

Hey-hey, I must first admit to being a QC newbie. I learned of QC only ten days ago when Mitch Clem mentioned Marten's ongoing sexual frustration in his http://rainofbastards.livejournal.com/100093.html">livejournal. But in the following 3-5 days, I began at the beginning and read every single installment. I got hooked. I'd read NN2S and Joe and Monkey for awhile, but Jeph really got me addicted. Eventually, I decided to get in on the action. So Jeph? You inspired me! Consequently, you are responsible (good and bad) for everything I do.

My comic really has no name, but I will call it Above Bored. (it's a play on words.) The principle characters are myself and my girlfriend K. Whats the premise? Being a philosophy student who is afraid of going out into the world and getting a job. Nietzsche likes to make appearances too, but thats just me.

Not being a great techie, I dont have any fancy webpage. Just a livejournal and photobucket.com. So here is a link to http://photobucket.com/albums/f376/crplclegg/">Above Bored. And a http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/crplclegg/number4.jpg">SPECIAL issue dedicated to QC readers. I draw the comic by hand, scan it, and use MS Paint. So, no colour. (that's right, i'm Canadian.)

Anyways, thanks for the opportunity Jeph! Keep up the good work!

Sean C · « **Reply #242 on:** 23 Mar 2006, 09:25 »

Hello everyone.

I'm Sean, and I'm the artist for Cute Ninja Girls.

Quick synopsis: Hanna and Kay, two ninja sisters living in the major metropolitan Boston area, are told by their grandfather (whom they didn't even know existed) that a great evil force is coming, and their family is the only thing that will be able to combat it. Naturally, they don't believe him, and go about their lives. This evil force, the demon Gul'Jagen, is inadvertantly released from a one-thousand year imprsionment by a young archeologist who was only brought along as a sacrificial lamb. He brings the demon back to his home in Boston, where Gul'Jagen spends most of his time dealing with a thousand years of culture shock. We focus on the lives of the characters rather than the inevitable conflict, addressing issues like Hanna's animosity with a co-worker, Kay's constant career difficulties, and Gul'Jagen attempting to understand the power the Red Sox have on the city.

Check it out, and let us know what you think. I'm currently tinkering with the art style, so keep that in mind as you go through the archives.

i don't think this qualifies as a webcomic, but i started a livejournal to display a comic strip that i may or may not be submitting to my school's paper. it's still very young and i'm eager to show it off to people, and/or wouldn't mind just getting some pals to pal around with on livejournal.

www.eyetrauma.net

it ranges from horror comics to sci fi. i have one on there that gets updated every 2 weeks. it's called dullsville. it's very perverted and childish.

i did want to let you know we are just starting out, but eventually we'll be looking to add more creators coz i know the guys who run it wish they had more content. so if any of you guys are interested you should check out the site and email some of those guys

Pluggin the Separate Ways.

It's my new 'daily' comic about life after breaking up. The comic itself is still in it's early stages as far as number of available comics to read (10), but it's daily, so if you like it enough to bookmark it and stick around, you'll have something to read everyday. If you catch on now you'll be in just in time to get introduced to the additional characters.

This is my second comic venture, my first was/is Wake Walking which is a team project between the artist Lee Fleming and myself, but our work schedules are too varying to team up for a good update schedule, so my writing exercise goes to Separate Ways now, and when Lee sends me a new Wake Walking comic page to color and work on then I update that. Either way though, I make sure there's a buffer for Separate Ways and it'll always have it's daily update!
