About That Webcomic...

No, no I haven't forgotten, just...ergh.

The only real problems I'm having now is:
1) Whether or not to make it have a cohesive story line that's only one page long (like a lot of the Dumm Comics, some of Purple Pussy, etc.) or have branching story lines. The problem with that is...I don't think of the story ideas as 'comic' ideas, really, I envision them (ten dollar word) as...well, cartoons. ('exposition here, gag here, build on that...') AND the vast majority of them are ideas that would take much more than one page to convey.
And if I do decide to make one-page comics, should they follow a story line or not? I can mix and match 'em, I suppose (make one story line every once in a while but mostly keep them one-page) but...check these out

These were pretty much inspired accidents. I could make more one-page comics but its hard to focus on what would be the beginning, middle and end. And end it on a joke. That is hard too.

Soooo....what are your thoughts?

  1. I say go for short stories with gags! Long story lines get convoluted and boring usually.
