Since the last page failed , probably lost the comic some readers and certainly didn't increase the likes I'll put up another page. Why not, might as well go through the buffer and if nothing changes the comic will be abandoned and I'll go off to Belle's bust. I don't know I thought the pretty pictures would get someone to “like” this thing maybe it's time to abandon the labor intensive Photoshop stuff and simplify things. Do something edgy and multi-media like cut-outs, drawing and collage. Always liked doing collage and totally free style drawing.
Do yourself a favor and don't read any further. The whiny rant is really me venting just to hear myself complain.
This is the fight I go through with every comic I start. Really painful shit, but the satisfaction of finishing the thing will more than make up for it. Once I get there.
Right I'm making one of the mistakes of webcomics and expecting too much too soon. You'd think my established name and style would account for something. But then my established style is reduced to tits and blood. Just listen to the dismissive descriptions of my work in the last couple of Quack Casts. Stripping, naked breasts and gory killing in a nutshell, doesn't matter whatever else I slip in the tits is all anyone sees. So it's all I give.
I'm getting torn to shreds in that Lite bites review for not doing characerization and this shows precisely why I avoid it. No one gives a fuck about any charactarization in my comics. I'm all about tits on parade. I can't do good characterization so it's no wonder I don't do it and even avoid it. No wonder there's so few likes. Kind of hard to get anyone interested when it's the same shit with just a different shirt getting ripped off. I must give you credit if you've read this far into this whiny rant. Do yourself a favor and go off and read some other sucky comic. Really 85% of all webcomics suck. Someone once said I do the comics that show why others suck. Obviously very few readers agree with that statement

I hope you do manage to attract more people to this comic and keep it going. But you always have to remember that your medium and subject matter are deep in the dark basement of niche genres. You shouldn't expect people to come pouring in by the droves, not without some kind of massive publicity blitz. It does seem like the people who take the time to read your comics tend to enjoy them, which says a lot.

Fevers are a good excuse - I literally hallucinate a talk crazy monologues when I have them!

If Sulu has a problem with her breasts, then the only things that should be getting covered up are Sulu's eyes, not her breasts. Your rants are an integral part of your comics, and I wouldn't miss them for the world. Keep on Keepin' it real.

I had a fever yesterday. First fever I've had in years. That's at least 60% of the despondency in my rant.

I'm also always impressed with the level of detail and accuracy that goes into your stories.

Do not stop. I love this comic. Your comics are much like the old movies I watch.

Well I read it all... You've inspired me! I'm gonna start hating my comic too! ;)
