Comic Book Lovers

  • If any of you are fans of comic books then maybe you might be interested in helping out my friend. He is currently competing in a comic book competition called Small Press Idol where the prize is getting your comic book published. He has made it to Round 2 but in this round 50% of the decision to move on to Round 3 is made by public voting.

    So if your interested, you can take a peek at his work, http://www.smallpressidol.com/forum/topicview/misc/856.htm#first_unread

    And if you think it is worth getting published, you can sign up and vote for him.


  • Wow! I haven't looked at a comic book for around 35 years. Things have sure changed since Betty and Veronica, Jughead and Superman. There were a series of comics I loved that were called something like "The Classics" - comic forms of Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights and A Tale of Two Cities. I spent hours looking at the artwork and reading the stories over and over again.

    Though I just can't get into the Fantasy genre of things, I can appreciate the skill involved. Good luck to your friend!

    Very cute! And I'm sure your husband will appreciate that he got you a gift you love ;) Etsy is always fun to browse. I ended up getting my wedding cake topper through there. Just did a general search for Basenji, found a shirt I should buy and wear when I take Loki out with me. Then random people can know what he is without needing to ask!

    Sorry, to keep bringing this up. I am good friends with artist's fiancee. They are getting married on the 18th of this month. It would be a great wedding gift if the comic got lots of support. http://www.smallpressidol.com/forum/topicview/misc/round_3_soul_bound.htm Please take the time to vote today. Directions to vote: Make sure you're registered (or click join on the left after click the link). reclick this link while you're signed in and click that your a fan! That's it! They are trying to stay above the "Dreaded Line" so they get to at least show off their cover art in the publication. If they do really well, they may win a wild card spot in Round 4. Just staying safe from the "Dreaded Line" would be great.

    I am just loving these responses from my husband's post!!!:D:D ROFL at the thought of him running through the house with the TP!:eek: I guess I should maybe pay a little bit more attention to him.;) That wine and Barry White music could maybe convince me to notice him more…:o

    At one time, when my Eski was still alive, I thought about this. I decided I didn't want to actually DO the spinning, but thought about doing the gathering and sending it to be spun by someone, then making something out of the yarn. Never did it though….sort of wish I had....he was so SOFT, and warm too...

    My take on the situation is this: I have an unruly barky dog - Duke - Who is the light of my life. My neighbor on one side is annoyed at his startling bark at them. While - I think back when their now adult children were kids were at times an absolute annoyance to me - but I also enjoyed hearing kids be kids. Their noise for the most part did not bother me, because I love hearing life. (however the beat of a basketball thumping in the wee hours of the night was awful) But they are grown up now and fantastic college educated people. We all do the best we can for what we have - I know that one day - all too soon, Duke's barking will subside due to his maturity. Patience - patience is my best advice. A dog that barks does not inflict pain…
