Creativity without* the artistic talent = 900 strips for me to read over the next few dozen lunchhours...


*Contrast that with this amazing sculptor. Wowzers.

 That's an awesome Cybersix!

Who sez you need to draw do make a comic? I can't remember who it was, and I'm probably mangling the quote, but one of the Golden Age comic writers/pencillors once said that "comics are the medium for those who can't write or draw like masters but can put them together just good enough to tell a story".

Wow he even makes Hyoga "I got the Swan powers so shut up!" Knight of Cygnus from Saint Seiya/Knight of the Zodiac look cool.

I find that comics can vary wildly in presentation, drawing style, drawing skill, writing style, and writing skill. And damned be those who are big enough pricks to claim they're re-inventing a medium that re-invents itself constantly. Like Scott Kurtz. (cough)

There's also the Qwantz approach: use the same image over and over again but insert something new every time. Simple, low-effort but good effect. Everyone! Program harder!! :lol:

Scott.
Scott.
Is there a pattern here? Does the name itself somehow inherently breed narcissism? ...Tarnishing the good name of other Scotts everywhere ;)

Looks like Qwantz=GetYourWarOn=RedMeat, which both consistently rock :D
