125: Twinkly Magic
dgriff13 on Dec. 12, 2007
yay! One hundred and twenty-five pages. (I thought it deserved to be written out in full.)
As I warned you earlier, I'm going to be needing a favor from you faithful Z&F fans. Please list for me in your comments your FAVORITE Z&F page (or one of your favs), and you're LEAST FAVORITE page. The ones to judge are from #50 and on. A little explanation for each selection would be even more helpful. This will help me sort out what pages go into the next “official” submission to syndicates. You can do this now or later when you have more time, doesn't have to be immediate. I'll probably wait until I get to #150 to make my final selections!
And as a reward for taking the time and effort to help me out, I will give you some link love and post your banner (or if needed, I can make one up in your honor) in my new “Z&F Sponsors” section. Yeah, see the new header up there? You can be a sponsor! Cool! I swear, it's cool. C'mon, do it. Everyone else is doing it.
Can I be any more pathetic? LOL
Just be patient, I may not be able to put your banner up right away.. but in the next day or so, I'll get to it!

That's going to be a tough one! How am I gonna select my favorite if I love them all? And how am I supposed to find one I don't like? Hmmm... Oh well, I'll worry about that later :) Meanwhile... Twinkly maaaagiiiic ;)

Lol the look of bliss on his face is hilarious I will try to pick but it will be tough.

Our dog used to just take out the tree and takes the chocolates off it

kung fu monkeys are funny.

I don't think that qualifies as exploring his feminine side. I mean, the eyeshadow is all natural.
ToonmanAZ at 8:01PM, Dec. 13, 2007
I just knew that would happen, LOL!
StewWriter at 7:21PM, Dec. 13, 2007
Outstanding. I do that, too, ya know.

JPL: ha ha, thanks! Pretty cool that today's is a runner up ;0) Brock: you're very welcome, thank YOU for your readership and support! (P.S. just renamed #50-125.. I'll do the rest another time)
Brock at 6:41PM, Dec. 13, 2007
Dawn, you're great! You took my comment in exactly the spirit it was intended. I respect your talent and ambition immensely. Thanks for the sponsorship!

If I [b]HAVE[/b] to choose [u]only[/u] one for my top favoritistic Z&F comic, it would have to be [b]82[/b]... Spam bath.... enough said! but 87, 96, and 99 are very close runner-ups'! [b]BUT[/b] this one here had me on the floor!!!! so you may add 125 in the runner-up list!!!

Villamar: take your time, dude.. it'll be a while before I get to 150 and get my submission ready! I guess this'll help me write a bunch of good ones in my next 25 or so. PR: LOL, random is good. antocomics: GUFFAW? well, don't hurt yourself there, amy! Midgey: hee hee, "fancy pants" tree. Nice. Like I said, no rush. Keep it mind! brock: wow, what a comment from you! I'll try to go through and rename the comics, I've been meaning to do that anwyay. I agree about the font.. it does get too small. Maybe I can fix that too, if I find time. Your concerns about the webcomic-to-newspaper transition are valid points, I would probably have to simplify most of my comics. Oh well, I'm making them pretty for online viewing... and as I learn more about my possibilities, it seems webcomics is more profitable and likely anyway! Thanks for your selections, you shall be sponsor-fied! Penguin: ah, good picks, and thanks for the explanation.. welcome to Z&F sponsorhood! Erstaz: hey, you have to EARN your sponsorship! LOL, thanks man, when you find the time. dantheman: *bows* maninblack: yay!
dantheman at 3:53PM, Dec. 13, 2007
excellent
Ersatz at 2:30PM, Dec. 13, 2007
Heehee! Good old predictable Fred! I definitely will get back to you with my fave and least fave strips - it'd be easier if you had less than 10! ;p
Phantom Penguin at 1:33PM, Dec. 13, 2007
Favorite one is #80. The idea of a dog having a seeing eye dog made me laugh pretty hard. least favortie is #52 if you can have a least favorite. THe joke didn't make me laugh, but everything else in it is good.
Brock at 1:25PM, Dec. 13, 2007
123 is a fave of mine. Also, the one where they give money to the homeless guy thinking he's a ride. Nice rare show of edginess in Z&F.
Brock at 1:20PM, Dec. 13, 2007
I'll work on coming up with something as best I can--have to admit it would be a bit easier if there were proper titles on the strips in your archive. But no matter. Good one today, though a bit ruined by how small the font gets on "Maaagiiic..." I couldn't make it out at first and had to go back after reading the whole strip to understand what it was through context. I think if there's one thing that might hurt you with syndication is how much Z&F sometimes relies on small details like that, both with the font today and some art details on other days. Like the little lines come off the border of every panel, they'll just look like smudges on a newspaper page. Much luck at any rate, Dawn. You're a braver soul than I!
TheMidge28 at 8:59AM, Dec. 13, 2007
I will need to get back to you on best comics from archive...as to todays comic the same problem happens to me. I will not have some fancy pants christmas tree out shine me!
antcomics at 7:58AM, Dec. 13, 2007
OMG. I laugh every time but this one made me GUFFAW.... Fred, Fred, Fred...
Priest_Revan at 7:13AM, Dec. 13, 2007
Lol, I love fred. He's so random.
Villamar at 6:43AM, Dec. 13, 2007
Okie doke! I'll try and blaze through the archive, hopefully this weekend, if I get a chance. It's finals week, and I've got a project that's due Saturday. Alrighty. Fred is the coolest christmas tree ever. Can I have him for my house? That'd be so cool!
dgriff13 at 6:05AM, Dec. 13, 2007
crocty: those first 3 color pages went into the last submission... so, anything after that. Thanks! ljs5123: Nope! I plan on never showing their "true" form. It's a gimmick, I admit it! ;0) Thanks for reading JZintel & harryq!
JZintel at 4:58AM, Dec. 13, 2007
That has got to be a fire hazard.
harryq at 3:25AM, Dec. 13, 2007
Fred looks sexy!
crocty at 12:18AM, Dec. 13, 2007
Nice...Fred is so funny... You're so funny! Oh yeah, when we I choose my favourite, and least favourite, does it start from the first colour one, and end at this one. D:
