As some of you may or may not know, I hope to one day have a comic strip online. And it came to mind about the sort of things I wanted to put up, versus the things some of the "internet public" may like.<br><br>I'm still sticking with the general idea, but I would like to know which online comic out there (besides O&M, obviously) you love to read the most and what you would like to see in an online comic, or what appeals to you the most. <br><br>And when I say, "what would you like to see in an online comic," I mean besides rutabegas. Don't worry, I know you all worship the ground we harvest rutabegas from, and I will insert them somewhere in the comic, if I ever get started. So please, tell me what you would like to see, BESIDES rutabegas. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>

Well, aside from O&M, I read / watch:<br><br>Secret Of Mana Theater<br>VGCats<br>Megatokyo.<br><br>As for what I like to see in a comic, I dunno, that's harder.<br><br>SoM Theater is mainly comedy, with some serious bits, and an underlying storyline. VGCats is all about teh funnay. And Megatokyo tries to combine a serious tone with a good storyline, with lighthearted deviations.<br><br>I guess picking a theme and staying to it <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo--> If VGCats suddenly started trying to get serious at times, it'd be realllllly freaky.

I've wanted to start an online comic too.... for ages. I just like comics that don't take themselves seriously.

O&M is the only one I read at the moment.<br><br>As for what I want to see? Hmm, tough call... I'd take a look at something more mature involving foxes in some way, but has it's share of funny lines too.

Obviously a comic about video games or sci-fi is going to go down well because of the following they can have in this modern day and age, but i suppose you also have to be well versed on the subjects. Also you'll almost definitely lose this potential reader if your comic happens to be about that.<br><br>I read Newshounds, which has good characters and stories, with clever jokes. Ozy and Millie is obvious. Commander Kitty is good too, but it's a little more digitally enchanced than i'd like. Gene Catlow has storylines like epics and great character development throughout. Mullein Fields is a relatively little known comic but it has a subtle charm that i like. Jack is for mature audiences but has some intense and human stories.<br><br>I guess i like comics with good characters and stories, because as Bill Watterson said, "good writing will save bad art better than good art will save bad writing" or something like that. I also appreciate comic art done through more traditional means.<br><br>Just my two cents.

I like <a href='http://www.furrymilitia.net/betterdays/' target='_blank'>"Better Days"</a> myself. I don't exactly know why though. It has a heavy mature theme, but it's deep and the art ain't half bad either.<br><br>And thank you Linus. I'll be sure that my characters are "developed". My comic is supposed to have a "random humor" that runs through it, but I've got a few other tricks up my sleeve that I'm just dying to use. Thanks for the tip. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That's actually not a bad idea. The other forum I post at had a comic a while ago about that; all the characters were members of the forum. It was basically "Save the world, blahblahblah...eh, screw it, let's go burn stuff." It was pretty funny.<br><br>I COULD do one of those, for practice maybe. But I'd need like a composite description of your "internet identity"...plus it would take a lot of time. I couldn't do it by myself; I'd need talented help. But perhaps...<br><br>At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how I should handle "pets" and "zoos" if I did a traditional Anthro comic. An anthropomorphic dog owning a non-anthropomorphic dog just seems...weirdto me.<br><br>So I'm considering changing it to a furry/sci-fi/humor genre, and giving it a semi-serious storyline.
