I am glad that I was able to help. I signed up for the HBN list and look forward to the web and print comic.

As for posting shitty comics, I’ll admit I’ve been responsible for that every once in awhile. I wasn’t thrilled to do it, but it usually was never about me not coming up with some idea, it was always a weather thing or a lack of power thing or a moving to Kansas thing. But I like to think my majority as been of decent quality. Ah well, no excuses.

BTW, your three Yirmumah comics that I purchased at the Pittsburgh Comic Con were the only three comics I took with me in my move. They now share the hallowed ‘Bathroom Reading Material Shelf’ with my Transformers Encyclopedia.

I look forward to your future comics!

You know what? F*** playing defense. Go on offense.

I think you should devote Tuesdays and Thursdays to a “State of Webcomics” comic. Pick the saddest, most pathetic webcomic you can find, then have a variety of your comics characters MST it… in that artist’s style. If that means a Deej stick figure or a Charlie (LAB) finger-paint, do that.

Or hell, man, you’re doing work every day. Post two panels from whatever you work on that day as your entry, sort of a George Lucas comic blog.

Anyway, the other thing you’re doing if you drop out is celebrating mediocrity in judging, because the current Grind judges are for shit. They’re so concerned with being liked that they’re not even trying. They’re certainly not doing their jobs as JUDGES. A dozen of the remaining Grinders should have been out or should be out, but the judges don’t seem to be bothered with it any more. If I was the judge of the Grind, it’d be down to six or eight at this point: you, Jennie, Brandon, Steve Troop, Brad Guigar, and a couple of others who are actually putting out daily quality work either in their art or in their humor. The fact that the judges won’t do their job is a crime.

You don’t need to stay in the Grind to win the Grind. You need to stay in the Grind because it’s a moral imperitive to point out that there’s still more than six or seven people in that contest that care about their work.

I find you’re changing to MWF format.

But there’ll still be stuff on TT.

Uke Club comics? Pages From The Sketchpad? Failed Drama Llama TV Pilots?

The possibilites are endless…

…

Maybe they are.

I had totally forgotten about the Grind anyway. . .
