So, this is the first comic I’ve drawn using my new (well, second hand, but new to me) Cintiq graphics tablet, which is a screen that you can draw directly onto. Have you noticed a massive improvement in my artwork? Hmm, well may be small one? Okay, so no piece of kit is going to turn me into a cartoonist overnight, but the way I used to digitally draw, using a Bamboo tablet, felt like a constant struggle. As some of you no doubt know, with a Bamboo you have to look at the screen whilst your hand scribbles away at the side and I could never quite get the hang of this. The Cintiq just feels much more natural and I’m looking forward to trying out a few new things with it.
You may also have noticed that I’ve changed the comments. I wanted to have a system where you could be notified of replies to your comments if you so desired, so I’ve installed an IntenseDebate plugin. It does make posting a comment look a bit more daunting, but hopefully it’ll lead to a bit more interaction. Let me know what you think of it.
Don’t forget, you can still enter the pun competition in this cartoon (don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense – it’s based on a phrase not much used outside the U.K.)
And finally, the webcomic you should direct your cursor at this week is The Urban Blah
Love it. This is why you should always run away from a truth bomb… I know many individuals/organizations have become very adept at doing so.
Reminds me of a lame rip-off of http://xkcd.com/561/ or http://xkcd.com/568/
Oh yeah, I forgot that once XKCD makes a joke about something, no-one else is allowed to near the topic for at least 5 years. Sorry everyone.
Vincent's comment reminds me of a lame rip-off of a thousand other dumbass griefers pointing out the similiarities between XKCD and other comics.
Seriously, grow up.
Dear Mr Vega. Please reply with an original thought so I can tell you exactly where you got it from. You may then depart the building secure in the knowledge that you are a human being and not the pointless pedant everyone currently believes you to be. Thankyou.
I think it was nice of Vincent to point out that Randall stole the idea from his 561st toon to make his 568th.
