I've colored some previously uncolored pages and added a few more pages. Hopefully we'll see a couple more pages this week.

And if you're new, start here.

And now ladies and gentleman, an exceptionally cute fobby girl with a video camera, a microphone and too much time on her hands:



I think I'll court her some day.

Hey, just to let you know that I'll be up in San Francisco for Alternative Press Expo November 1st and 2nd. (Although I'll probably head out early on the 2nd.)

I'll be at the Fool's Gold Press table selling, trading, or if you're cute, giving away copies of Theory of Everything Comics #1

So, if you're in San Francisco over the weekend and the line for the Chris Ware signing is too damn long, come by the Fool's Gold Press table, I'll sketch ya something nice, chat, maybe even read Tarot (which has actually gotten me a meal once).

At the podcast Webcomics Beacon they did a short review of Speak No Evil: Melancholy of a Space Mexican.

Someones mic goes out in the middle of the review. I'm amused.

So check out their podcast. I'm always entertained by it, therefore, I will not tell you where to fast forward to, just so you can hear the review.

At CBC's Ideas they have a great show about copyright. The history of it, the original intentions of copyright laws, and how that idea has changed/deteriorated over the years.

Basically, copyright was intended as a temporary incentive for artists to contribute to the culture. Nowadays, artists don't always seem to benefit from it.

Obviously, from the long long title of God™ © 2XX8 *** ***** ****** ******* Incorporated. All rights reserved. God and all related characters, titles, names and documents are trademarks of *** ***** ****** ******* Incorporated. No similarity between any of the names, characters, persons and/or institutions in this deity with those of any living or dead person or institutions is intended and any such similarity which may exist is purely coincidental. copyright will be a theme in the comic.

(First, I want you to imagine Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh reading this blog.)

I've recently joined webcomicsinc.com and I only have one friend.

I also have a comicspace.com account.

1) Use the exact same tactics you'd use on all girls.

2) NEVER BRING UP WORLD WAR II.

3) Be a balding white guy who can provide a green card.

I wish this was satire.

There's a lot to think about with webcomics. Especially since I'm doing one. So far, the most popular ones are daily strip format. Like PvP, Sinfest and Penny Arcade. One reason why short daily strips are popular is that they don't require that much commitment.

Most people who read webcomics are at work and are taking a break from whatever they've been doing. They want to be entertained for just twenty seconds. They click their bookmark. They forward it to their friends.

Most people don't want to sit in front of a computer a long period of time to read a 40 page comic. They could be spending that same amount of time for something engaging like a video game or chatting or watching videos.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule, and they've written really nice reviews on Stumbleupon, Reddit and have posted links on random blogs. (I find that "The Devil and The Monk" seem to be noticed by atheists and agnostics while "Speak No Evil" is popular among Filipinos on LiveJournal. I hope Chicanos don't think its racist or anything.)

I personally like reading a comic book on a comfortable couch, reclined, head resting on the couch's arm. Its a different experience from reading it on an office chair.

So, what am I to do? I'm not a daily strip guy. Currently, I don't have time for a lot of things.

So I'm considering doing this:

A semi-weekly strip of comics I've never finished called "Work In Progress". They'll be one to five pages long. Think Carol Lay's Story Minute.

When I write a first draft of a comic, they're usually scribbles and some word balloons. At least some of my ideas have a home somewhere out in the collective unconscious.

But, here's the kicker. Some of these comics I wouldn't mind submitting to Zuda or whatever comic book publisher where they own the rights. And I wouldn't mind not drawing them or sharing ownership or even having someone else rewrite them (the deal would vary between different comics). Plus, if an artist was a novice/intermediate, I could teach them what I know about art and comics.

I don't think I'll be able to implement this for a while. I want to prepare these things. Be two months ahead (eight stories prepared).

I want to have something new for my readers at a regular basis since my life outside of this website has been eatting up my time.

Anyone care to comment on my idea?

I could've painter out Amy Poehler, but that's too much effort.
