- @chebutykin Floyd. in reply to chebutykin #
- I need, like,a webcomic whisperer to come and tell me why AoD is under-performing. #
- @OnyxSparrow The only problem with trying to do multiple comics in the same vein is that ultimately you can't please everyone. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow Like, when I did nothing but Apple Valley for a couple weeks, I lost a signficiant portion of my readership during that run. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow The "random" comics, either truly random or in threads like the Star Trek ones, usually do the best. But they're taxing. #
- @OnyxSparrow Yeah, tell me about it. I've debated about splitting the comic in 2, but there's just not enough of me to handle both at once in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow And I sorta figured the "never know what you're going to get" was a selling point to the Discordian fanbase. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow Well, for me, the random is usually the main comic, and the story comic (my favorite) is the optional one that needs isolated in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow Also, I dare and defy you to find a comic structured anything like mine. It just doesn't happen. Probably for good reason. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow The problem is I'm never going to have the art skills to do a serious, long-term, ongoing comic… I've got to rely on funny in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow But I like the Apple Valley story, even if my readers don't. But I like having readers, which AV seems to chase away. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow I tried that at the beginning of the comic – lasted about three weeks. Alas, that's just not how my brain works. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow What if I did it by day-of-the-week? AV mondays, sketch tuesdays, character sheet weds, CFTP thurs, random fridays? in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow Well, it's essentially the same schedule I've been running for the last few weeks. But no, I'm not really the "schedule" sort. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow And if I did, I don't think the comics I'd be making would be of the same quality they are now… meaning they'd go down. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow I'm not going to pass on a good idea for a comic or delay something timely just because there's no room in the schedule for it. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow I also don't like the idea of pulling the sketches from the archives – half the time, those wind up being full comics. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @callouscomics On that, I feel your pain. I'm just now wrapping up a story that started in January. in reply to callouscomics #
- @callouscomics Granted, as I've been discussing with @OnyxSparrow, my main storyline gets… a lot of distractions thrown it's way. in reply to callouscomics #
- @OnyxSparrow I guess the question is… could Apple Valley survive w/out The Apple of Discord, and vice versa? in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow Well, the next major story arc is seriously "broken", so it should restore some of the wacky to the cast's lives. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @OnyxSparrow Just like how elfworld merged, furworld starts to merge – and the cast is overrun by furries looking for equal representation. in reply to OnyxSparrow #
- @callouscomics i care, probably a little too much-but i blame it on my experiences with my previous comic, which drove me a little crazy. in reply to callouscomics #
- @callouscomics My first comic went on for several years and I believed I had a decent readership… until I installed a tracker thing. #
- @agent_x …if there isn't, I'm officially dubbing it Rob Liefeld Syndrome. in reply to agent_x #
- RT @drjon: RT @andrewducker: Rumour of the day: Sylvester McCoy could play Bilbo Baggins http://bit.ly/9ab9BP #
- RT @honeynwhirlwind: Honey and the Whirlwind – Someone has to…: http://bit.ly/bh1CoQ #
- @nihiofkdi I thought GodBlock was some sort of sunscreen that made you invisible to deities. I'd buy *that* anyday. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi Obviously their aim is not infalliable, no matter what their PR agents say. Did you hear about Big Butter Jesus? in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi http://trunc.it/9odqz – because nothing quite says "Remember that whole 'graven images' thing?" like a giant poisonous fireball. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi Because if 'you-know-who' would take ill of any of us, lightning and plauges would be the least of our worries. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi who says they're doing well? have you ever watched American Idol? in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @chandlerra Yeah, don't even get them/us/the internet started on that again. 'sides, you don't really need what they're sellin' inside. in reply to chandlerra #
- @Frumph Actually, that's not *that* bad. There's no prohibition on abortion itself (if I'm reading it right), just on insurance covering it in reply to Frumph #
- @Frumph Which, for a high-risk operation (the ones not being covered) that's being done on the government's dime, I can sorta understand. in reply to Frumph #
- @Frumph And they're still covering all the ones where there's extreme circuimstances (rape, incest, risk of death) in reply to Frumph #
- @Frumph The article is incredibly badly written. High risk for death still gets you an insurance-covered abortion if you need it in reply to Frumph #
- @Frumph The only ones excluded, as far as I can tell, are ones where there's likely to be problems but not life-threatening ones. in reply to Frumph #
- @Frumph And it's a damn-site better then before, where there was no requirement for insurance companies to cover abortions – period. in reply to Frumph #
- @Frumph And wow is it hard to find any actual factual data about what the bill really says – it's all just spin and counter-spin. in reply to Frumph #
- @nihiofkdi That's actually a good, albeit somewhat depressing thought. This may actually be "as good as it gets". in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @Frumph Either way, it's moot point, since I doubt either of us are planning on getting pregnant any time soon. in reply to Frumph #
- You know, I'm with http://www.superdickery.com – Superman is often a dick. But Batman is a giant asshole. Coincidence? #
- @Frumph I'm sure you'll find that certain someone – and by that I mean a mad scientist with an artificial womb looking for guinea pigs. in reply to Frumph #
- Artist needs assistance – looks like I'm going to be trapped at work all day and won't get to draw a comic for tomorrow… can anyone help? #
- I even have a complete 6 panel comic all planned out and scripted, I'm just not going to have time to draw it. #
- @TheTurboSloth It depends on how involved I make it (read: how much copypasta I can shove into it) and how much text is involved. in reply to TheTurboSloth #
- @callouscomics I just emailed you back. Lemme know what you think, see if it's do-able. I tried to make it not-too-horrible. in reply to callouscomics #
- @fesworks Google's got a new fairly simple app builder for Android. It's still an invite-only thing, but I bet once it's open it'd be easy. in reply to fesworks #
- @callouscomics I really appreciate the help – I'll give full credit, permenent banner in post, all the usual frills – and I'll owe you one. in reply to callouscomics #
- RT @callouscomics: Today's Callous #comicstrip "Swan Down"! Part of "The Land of the Guardians"! http://su.pr/2X88QU #webcomics #
- RT @dgriff13: Exciting news! Z&F made it in to newspapers! Well, Zorphbert at least. "My Cage" does cameos! http://trunc.it/9kb5q #
- @TheTurboSloth Yeah, my "art" is good, but my "comicking" is bad. But hey, at least it's consistent. Consistently bad. in reply to TheTurboSloth #
- @zoejrobinson I could translate your comics into American. Nip out all those nasty extra letter U's that you insist on putting in words. in reply to zoejrobinson #
- @capesnbabes It never hurts to change things up, however you should make it available (by some means) to current followers too. in reply to capesnbabes #
- @nihiofkdi But it's sort of a "measure by the highest low, not the lowest high" sort of a realization. Like global warming. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- RT @rosalarian: Gonna be on the Webcomic Beacon in 30 minutes with @yamino and @introducingemy http://webcomicbeacon.com #
- @nihiofkdi It's not how hot it gets in the summer, it's how not cold it stays in the winter. Our poor are fat, so we're winning. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- It's also worth pointing out that I've been at work being abused for several hours past my breaking point, and may have gone crazy. Er. #
- @nihiofkdi I think winning is when you realistically consider what you've done good enough that you don't need to ask others if it was. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi As opposed to "being delusional", which I think the US is a lot of the time as well. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi But probably more realistic than most definitions of "winning" that you're going to find. in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @nihiofkdi Mine is neither fluffy bunny hippie treehugger shit, nor is it jingoistic yuppie greed-is-good asshattery in reply to nihiofkdi #
- @callouscomics It's awesome, thank you so much! Will go up in a couple hours, I'll send you the link once it's running in reply to callouscomics #
- RT @callouscomics: Today's Callous #comicstrip "A Parting"! Part of "The Land of the Guardians" storyline! http://su.pr/2AKZVB #
- Tonight's AoD (which will be up in about 20 minutes) features guest art from @callouscomics (along with my usual hack writing) #
- Just re-stating to get the plug in – an all-new AoD went up, with art by @callouscomics – http://trunc.it/9pbp1 #
- @jellybeansniper Wow, so @callouscomics did a guest strip for you too – that makes three of his comics showing up today. It's a hat trick. in reply to jellybeansniper #
- I still miss the option of being able to see ALL the tweets of the people I'm following, including replies to people I don't follow. #
- I am seriously debating about releasing a novel I wrote a few years ago on the web in installments. Would anybody be interested in that? #
- It's a classic Pulp-style scifi adventure with rockets, lasers, dashing heroes, and political intriuge. And cat girls. #
- RT @callouscomics 4 #webcomics released 2day by yours truly http://su.pr/2AKZVB http://su.pr/1amW2L http://su.pr/1JkCSn http://su.pr/1A5Lwe #
- RT @JIGreco: New Arkham Polytech! The Booze http://goo.gl/fb/UIp3S #
- @actionchick Buffy and Glory didn't have much of a fight – it was more of a chess game… but here's one mid-fight. http://trunc.it/9pdxr in reply to actionchick #
- I think offering elementry school students another month of Summer Vacation if they pass a procficiency test at the end of summer would work #
- @mkinyon "Canon" is also a camera company… and "Conan" is a barbarian. There's something funny here, I'm just not sure what. in reply to mkinyon #
- @mkinyon My mad scientist inventor has a giant cannon in his back yard – that way I have both, so if I ever use the wrong word, I'm covered. in reply to mkinyon #
- I hate it when a "news article" has a promising title, but is really just an "Oh no you didn't" to someone else's "Oh yes I did". #
- Like this one – http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-07-19/htc-phone-named-by-jobs-has-35-times-less-complaints-than-iphone.html #
- It's not "news", it's inter-coproration bickering through dueling banjo press releases. #
- For those of you just joining us today, new "Super" AoD is up – made even better with art by @callouscomics – http://trunc.it/9pbp1 #
- I'm glad I'm not the only one running late – here's my #tuesdaysketch – http://www.theappleofdiscord.com/comics/aod/arthur-dent/ #
- Just witnessed a tiny baby headdesk. So cute. #
- What type of comic should I do for tomorrow? Anybody have anything that they wanna see out of AoD? #
- @drjon It's as if thousands of twitterers tweeted out at once, and then fell silent. in reply to drjon #
- Hey @michaelpoe and @impchan, did you see who came up for "CFTP Duty" for thursday's comic? http://trunc.it/9rao1 #
- @subversivecynic Go make yourself a drink… there should be plenty of ice now. in reply to subversivecynic #
- @fesworks You're welcome to use AoD as a test site if you wanna just screw around – I'm not afraid. in reply to fesworks #
- @mkinyon @EntitiesRUs I'm still hoping that one day twitter will start wiping out dormant accounts – love to get my hands on @kallisti #
- @EntitiesRUs Well, like my @kallisti account – no personal info filled out, one tweet back in 2007. I say use it or lose it, man! in reply to EntitiesRUs #
- Maybe in reaction to #followfriday #ff we should start #unfollowfirstwednesdayofthemonth to clear out your twitter lists of dead wood. #
- @jinxtigr The internet is for two things – porn and drama. Sometimes you can get both in one – otherwise, you take what you can get. in reply to jinxtigr #
