    At least you didn’t make the mistake of ripping off a popular comic that lots of people read…

    I wonder if there’s a comic that rely on lamp as a joke and survived thousands of pages.

    OR, write a comic that jokes about how difficult it is to find ideas for a comic. Oh wait… 🙂

        was the reference to http://igotnothing.net/ deliberate? Because incidentally, the last strip they made was a shout out to you…

          No, but I’ve seen that strip before. I truly had nothing when I wrote this one.

    “Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?”
    ― Kurt Vonnegut

    but then…

    “writing about a writer’s block is better than not writing at all”
    ― Charles Bukowski, The Last Night of the Earth Poems

    and…

    “I have found repeatedly hitting my head with a mallet doesn’t help at all, so i am open to suggestions.”
    ― Steve Merrick

    Now, about that Winnebago… how many bugs can it sleep?

      That third quote is probably the closest to accurate. I have found that writing anyway helps. If you’re doing bad writing, there’s still something there and then you get the urge to fix the mistakes, and before you know it, you’re tricked into good writing.

      I think that’s what happened in the comic up there. It seems to have worked.

      Bukowski’s quote was my philosophy yesterday.

    If you’re going to sell Winnebagos, just don’t sell to them to Dr Zomboss. That attack’s bad enough without being more frequent.

        Wait, do you…do you actually think that? I honestly can’t understand how, I mean other than Shrek they don’t have much of anything good and/or original. Maybe Megamind, but yeah, they just have a ton of crappy stuff.

          Don’t forget How to Train Your Dragon. That movie is gold. Bur, yeah, Pixar has a much better track record.

            How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind and Shrek indeed. And of the Pixar movies I only really like Ratatouille and The Incredibles, so there you’d have it.

            And while you’re being flabbergasted, I don’t like Tolkien books either 😛
