Thanks Ethan. Several different elements went into the "soup". I looked at some Silver Surfer covers for inspiration, and how The Watcher holds his robes.

Thanks, Maka. I'm glad you liked it.

Hey Andy,

That's great! I laughed out loud.

44 indeed.

Peace, maka

Cool, Maka -- good to know! I had that idea and was chuckling to myself over it, and was debating whether or not to draw it. I guess my rule is, "If it makes me laugh, it will probably make some other people laugh."

That, I guess is a paraphrase for Stan's method of making the kind of comics he likes to read.

Very great. I especially liked it because I'm a big San Fransisco Giants fan, and every time i see Hank Aaron I cheer.

Thanks everybody!

Krogu, I only know about it from Googling the number "44" -- but I've learned some things since then.

I've read Dziady about 3 times, still i don't like this book very much

Too much romantic, and i always disliked the way Mickiewicz saw polish liberty to rise someday, Mickiewicz was a messianic poet

A review of Eclectic Comics #1 and #2 appears at http://www.opticalsloth.com/?p=3773. It's always interesting to see how my work is perceived by others. It's even good to hear the criticism, since friends are usually too nice to point those things out. Comics appreciation is subjective, so what one person likes about something just might be what someone else hates. As the Amish say, "He who builds to every man's advice ends up with a crooked house." So I guess you take what you think you can use and discard the rest.

"Barcode man" on cover sound very funny

I guess another term for the barcode number is the SKU, or the Stock Keeping Unit. Somebody asked me if Barcode Man had a skewed outlook! I have to figure out some way to use that line.[/b]

I discovered a resource I like. It's called ComicsCareer.Com

Every day they ask a different cartoonist ten questions. The questions are always the same, but the answers are always different. What can we say? We have different drummers.

Today was my day. Check it out here:

I mentioned Stan and this forum in that interview above, by the way.

Here is an article about my comics that appeared on the front page of our local paper today.
