How I feel about my own sort-of comic strip. Self indulgent? Probably. Entertaining? Maybe, we'll see. I want to do a journal about the strip, and blog-form makes sense given the topic. So here goes...
Prophet.
I was nervous about this. If there were enough readers, there is a tiny, tiny, tiny chance a crazy person would take offense. Now, I don't know how I feel about it being one of my least viewed strips ever. I sort of had this whole thing built up in my head, and then nobody reads it. Probably for the best. I think it's funny. I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't.
Getting more comics written lately. I really thought I might be done with it a couple of weeks ago. No new ideas for close to two weeks. Following that bout of writer's block, I now know when MC will end. Once I miss that first day, because there isn't a comic ready to post, that'll be the signal to stop. I want to go for a year, now. I think that'll happen, because the jokes have started coming back to me at a good pace. I really enjoy the response I get from the more popular ones.

I'm a page-view whore. I must get more page-views. Must. Get. More. 20k people read the Cookie Comic. I'm floored. I don't know what was so different about it than what i do every day. There's a little art. Was that the difference? I don't think so. I think it was a good joke tied to an appealing topic. Because it was a more traditional comic, with art, one of the barriers to enjoying what I do was removed. Hmmmm.
Comic Sans
I think it's perfect for what I'm doing. Irony in font choice. That's right. I went there.
Sunday Comics
The Cookie Comic was so popular, I definitely want to try and recreate that. I'm going to try and create three or four more comics, similar to the CC, and see if I can duplicate any of CC's success. If so, I'll make non-MC comics a regular feature.
Yep. Self Indulgent. Terrible writing, too. Maybe I'll come back and edit it later.
