That's what Kurtz does. The web version of the PvP strip is sort of the advertising for the books, t-shirts, plush toys, etc. that he sells. It's been a good gig for him and he doesn't need to make his strips at a postage stamp size to be printed in newspapers.Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-17392732991951990652008-09-17T15:32:00.000-07:002008-09-17T15:32:00.000-07:00Thanks for catching that, Tom. I will fix my error...Thanks for catching that, Tom. I will fix my error as well. I have to correct a strip from a few days ago, to boot.<BR/><BR/>Strips *are* fun, Scott. I am actually gonna start a new strip with my buddy, Josh. We are batting a bunch of ideas around based on the 'Tink' character. I'm debating on whether I want to go the web comic route (ala "PVP") or just focus on making a comic book. Something about the book format has lasting appeal. You get more real estate for the art with a book, but you can't beat the web for immediacy and cost-effectiveness. Part of me thinks I could do it in the comic book format and deconstruct it as a web comic. Then, if people like it, I have the comic-book ready to go (maybe pitch it as enhanced version of the strip). I really, really like your double-decker, Sunday-funnies format with "Cork." It might be the best compromise of all the formats I'm mulling over. What do you guys think?<BR/><BR/>And I kind of want to revive 'Norbert and Billy' in some way. I miss writing a snarky, trouble-making character like Billy. I ended up punting at the end of the strip to get it done for submission and in doing so, I merged in characters from another stip I was doing at my local newspaper to try and tie the two separate strips together. The result made no sense and I just kind of gave up afterwards. It would be nice to take another crack at things.Surly Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577852160598674926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-39735434692322052662008-09-17T14:27:00.000-07:002008-09-17T14:27:00.000-07:00Agggh!

Wait, you did these already in '92 right? Keep posting. Then when you run out we look forward to new ones or a new character. Isn't strip drawing fun? (No, not 'strip' drawing Ellis. Come on!)<BR/><BR/>(Oh, and shut up Jeff.
