Comments on: The Report About the Interview. http://jetpacksandtimemachines.com/3/ The semi-sci fi comic of the future... sort of. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 04:31:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Tom Racine http://jetpacksandtimemachines.com/3/#comment-14 Tom Racine Fri, 08 Jun 2007 04:40:42 +0000 http://jetpacksandtimemachines.com/?p=3#comment-14 That's great, Jim...not to get all rah-rah on people, but as cartoonists, the web is presenting us with a golden age, at least in terms of exposure. We can't quite figure how to make a living at it mostly, but compared to the days when you'd bundle up your crap in a nice binder, send it out to the five or six Kingdoms of the Syndicate Editors for your form rejection notices, it's a great time to be a cartoonist. Remember, though, that the bottom line is that you're doing this for YOU...because YOU love it. It's great to have readers...great to have fans...great to have people writing in protest, even...but what drives you has to be the love of the work. And your stuff is already off to a great start like that...head and shoulders over 95% of the stuff out there. Keep going. I know I'll keep coming back. :) That’s great, Jim…not to get all rah-rah on people, but as cartoonists, the web is presenting us with a golden age, at least in terms of exposure.

I have checked out your previous podcasts... Good shit... Pretty funny... I especially liked the Stephan Pastis interview. I won't lie, I did just listen to your shows this last weekend, and they did contribute to my decision to try to get out on the web for a while.

Love the start...you've got a great style already, and that's a great foundation. I can smell quality a mile away in the webcomic world, and you've got it. Can't wait to see where you're going. We had Jarrett Osborne on the webcomic-based podcast I do with two other 'toonists, @ www.comicscoasttocoast.com and we mentioned your strip there. Tune in...we're hoping to really support the webcomics of the world. You're on my bookmarked list! Best of luck out there in the web. Jim!

Actually though, I think I'm safe... That's what the title is supposed to be there for... It's like, "WARNING, NERD ALERT!" I mean, I don't want to startle anyone or anything, you know? Oh man… That’s it… IT’S RE-WRITE TIME!

More regular families with teenage children and their foibles. Like maybe the teenager could go to a concert or something. I just don't know if I can relate to nerds and islands and glasses.

Two comics don't mean anything... I know for a fact you have five of them sitting completed on your computer... The real test will be to see how long you can keep up your three comics a week strategy that starts on the 14th.
