Awesome comics! I liked the snow tube one the best.

I just read all of the strips on here... Let's just say B.C. USED to be my favorite strip. It's kinda hard to not cackle since David is sleeping right beside me. LOL

Excellent work!

^Thanks! I've been looking in to a couple of art schools since I'm a junior, but I've been focusing on the University of Pennsylvania since my dad is the real estate director there and that means I can get free admission if I get accepted (which is the hard part)

But the problem with that is that begin accepted is not just biased on artwork but also academic performances, and since I use most of my classes as "inspiration sessions" for the witting of cartoons, I may have some problems with getting accepted. But if all else fails I'll just go to an art school with a strong emphasis on animation, which is the worlds ultimate kick-A art from.

I'll make sure to check out that link though!


And as for the status of my strips, I haven't been getting allot of time lately, with lots of time consuming classwork and also Lacrosse season, but I'm trying to line up the best ideas for daily strips and then knock them out and put the final package together. I already have all the Sundays I need, so now I just need about 10 more B&W daily and I'll be sending in my sample package. I'm sending it to the five major U.S. syndicates, United Features, Universal Press, Creators, King's Features and the Washington Post Writer's Group, so hopefully I'll get accepted by one of them.

Dude those strips are hilarious!

Keep up the good work and good luck getting them syndicated. I would love to see my local newspaper pick these up.

Big Update!

Hey, everyone. I'm currently on spring break, and now that I have a few days of I'm going to go full force to get my syndicate package complete. I now need ten more dailies and a cover letter, before I’m ready to submit. I'm starting to line up some of the concepts I need to show in the next ten strips in order to give a view of all the aspects of my strip, but I have the meat of the daily examples already in place.

And this is where I ask your help. I have the ten daily strips that make up the meat of the package posted below. I can still replace some if I feel it’s necessary, so this is what I want you to do, Please tell me which is the best strip of the ten and which is the worst. Emphasis on the worst. Please, I am not going to be mad, in fact I will be allot happier than if you say “ I like them all” or “ they’re all good” because that’s probably not the way the syndicates are going to look at them. Even if you say “this one sucks” I will be happy because I will have an idea of what to put on the chopping block if I feel its necessary to add a new strip but don’t have room.

I have gotten allot of nice comments, which I greatly appreciate, but now I ask for any constructive criticism you have. If you see any spelling mistakes, or things I missed shading or anything, PLEASE TELL ME. Even if you have a tip of how the dialogue could be reworked to make it funnier, it will be greatly appreciated.

So I have ten strips below, which you may or may not have read. Please post something along the lines of this:

Best: comic #
Reason
Worst: Comic #
Reason and suggestion

Please give a shot explanation of why you chose these, or what in it could be changed. If you feel that a daily strip in this thread belongs in this batch, feel free to tell me also.

Again, do not be afraid to tell me any of them are bad. Criticism is what I need most now, so that I can change and fix to make it better. I will proably ask for more suggestions on newer strips down the line, but for now thanks in advanced for the help!

Comic #1


Comic #2


Comic #3


Comic #4


Comic #5


Comic #6


Comic #7


Comic #8


Comic #9


Comic #10


These make up 10 of the required 24, for the submission, although one syndicate is requesting only 18. I have a two strip series done and a few others that are not quite finished, but when I have more of possible dailies for the package, I will post them again.

Also, some good news not related to the syndicate package, I recently went to a banquet for the Pennsylvania 2009 Keystone Award Winners for Scholastic Journalism, since Ribroast run in my school paper, and I managed to take first place for the cartoon/ graphic illustration category! This was great for the strip, since now with the certificate they gave me can be photocopied it and placed it in my syndicate package to make it look more impressive.

And again, one giant thank you for any help you give!

Gosh Its so hard to pick out which ones are good and which ones are bad because they're all so funny.

Hunter reminds me of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.

^ Thanks!

I have a two strip series that I am considering putting in the package to show that I can make dailies which are connected, but I thought I'd see if anyone finds them funny first because I am not too sure about their overall "humor value". I tired to make the punch line an awkward conversation starter, but I’m not sure if it’s just random and not that awkward. Also I’m not sure if the second strip makes allot of sense on its own without the first strip, but you can tell me what you think.







Remember honesty too. If it sucks, don’t be afraid to tell me.

^I like the referance to "epic fail." I laughed so hard.

But I think in this situation a "fail..." would work better.

Those were GREAT
