View Full Version : Awesome Comic Writer's Thread

Equivalent "Awesome Thread" for our most skilled comic writers. Art skill not a requirement (obviously if you can both draw and write, then great), but comic writing skill a must. Same ground rules as Slick's thread, except replace "art" with "comics". (Sprite comics are allowed, provided they're good).
As with Slick's thread, if you want to join in, PM me and I'll consider it, possibly over MSN (In some cases it'll be less a case of considering and more a case of "Blimey! How'd I miss them?", but still). Once more, here's a short starter list, chosen to get the ball rolling.
Comic writers who can POST COMICS HERE ARE:

Heh, I feel special once more. :p
Thing is, I actually have a fairly interesting plot laid out for the mid-to-distant future of TIZ72MSPFC, whenever I get back to it -- hopefully soon -- so I'm not sure what I'll be contributing to this thread.
I still think Bad Hair Day on Ground Zero is probably my best written comic ever.

Speaking of comics, it looks like Aku gave up on this forum after all...

How come gingerneck's not on the list?:p
Over my dead body. Only reason I haven't taken up arms with one of them there "gingerneck-buster" avatars yet is because it's a case of stooping to their level. Entry to a private club devoted to the best writers and jokers in the business is another matter is a different matter.
Why isn't pickleworm on th list?
Okay, a reinforcement: PM Me. Even if it's to recommend someone else (which, let's face it, is a good deal more noble than recommending yourself).
Pickleworm is a fair point that I'd forgotten about. I was also thinking of auto-adding Vader, Splapp and Slick. Munkee should he start drawing strips again.

9 May 2007, 10:04
I think I know what I might submit here at some juncture. Remember that Spoon guest comic I made? I always thought it was pretty well written, but it's severely embarassing that I ever considered that artwork even nearly acceptable, so I've been meaning to go back and redo it and at least make it bearable. This looks like a pretty good place to do it.
Provided it survives that long. :p

Paul.Power
9 May 2007, 14:11
One thing I thought would be quite nice would be to put up "rough comics", and then see if the Awesome Artists (TM) would like to have a go at giving them spiffy art.

Did she ever do comics? I mostly recall her doing artwork with surprising amounts of blood.
Edit: I'll post a comic here next time I think of a Worms-based one -- non-Worms-based ones go on my blog page. But if it doesn't require worms, I generally won't include any, as it would probably just confuse people outside this forum if I did.

Hell yes she did comics. And they were pretty kick-ass at that. They're all on her Deviantart under her name Black-Charizard. And yes, they're chock full of blood. Juicy.

People seem to miss the point of the STARTING people. People who are on the list already are just to get the thread going. Then if you think you've done a good job, or think that you're qualified enough to be added, you ask.* If YOU don't even think you're stuff is even remotely good, you wont even bother to ask, and it saves Paul or me the trouble adding every person who feels like wanting to be on a list. If you are NOT on the list, it's NOT because the person thinks you aren't good. For the most part it's just a few people who are known for their art/writing picked at random. :p
Dare I say I've set it up this way so that people might actually try to improve their art too achieve a goal of being a part of something?* Which in turn just might give people an inclination not to post stuff were even they say "lol it suckz, but ima postin it anyways."
I tried to do this with starting the unoffical fanartist of the month competition. Gingerneck is HOSTING this months compo. Safe to say that idea has FAILED.
*too be added you must have at least something to post.
*Or in this case writing ability.

So...you're saying that Hunta didn't get on the list because the chosen people were chosen at random? Alright, that makes sense. Sorry to crowd your topic with my incoherent banter. ;)
For anyone who thinks that this post was sarcastic, I swear to god that it wasen't. I'm hardly a smartass.

Not completely at random. They're just the people who occured to Paul at the time. It's not as if he went through the whole members list and checked everyone.
Hell yes she did comics. And they were pretty kick-ass at that. They're all on her Deviantart under her name Black-Charizard. And yes, they're chock full of blood. Juicy.

tgworm, you've improved markedly from when you started out, but I agree: although that cartoon does nothing wrong, it takes an old, clichéd joke and plays it straight down the line without any attempt at originality or deliberate parody. It's okay, but way off awesome.

Pickleworm's comics are awesome, and not in a gingerneck kind of way.
And, tal, get a sense of humour. :rolleyes:
Really tho, he insulted your parents? He drew a worm saying his dad is a moron, you are not a worm are you? The fact that the worm there is named tal05 is meaningless, because the character displayed there, like most sigworms, isn't meant to reflect the creator or the person it took it's name from, it's meant to be a character with it's own personality that might have a resemblance with but will still be different. Therefore, tal05 sigworm version's dad being a moron has no relation with you or your family, it's just part of the story.

sorry, but if thats what you call a sense of humour, i'd definetly not like to see what your like when your being offensive, i still think if you want to take the mick of someone i think you should be very careful and atleast ask if they would be ok with with someone calling there parents. I TOTALLY disagree with your comment about him referring to my avatar because the avatar is a "symbol" to represent yourself eg, a small boy at the age of 10 would not create a avatar looking like a 94 year old lady knitting wooly jumpers, he would try and interprut himself inside the form of a worm, therefore whether pickle was trying to be offensive or not, i think he shoud be carefull before even thinkin about calling anyone's parents or even mentioning it in a comic.
