I mean, it will have comics in it, but I doubt It'll be comic book sized, and it will probably be sort of expensive. I doubt there will be much of a market for it, but I don't care. I'm going to make it because I've always really wanted to put out a book. As for the beta testers, don't worry, I'm going to be posting as much as I can that shows the development process, and people will be invited to weigh in as always.

(I don't buy comics of any sort, so I have no idea.) 2)I'm sure that the people here would be happy to be your beta testers. That is, if you had two or more competing ideas that you weren't sure which you liked best, you could throw them up here for some feedback on what was funnier/cooler and why. 1) Is there really a market for a book of comics from an unpublished artist?

I've got a bunch of ideas bouncing around the noggin for how I might want to do this... I just have to decide what to do yet.

I feel that you would be able to produce a great comic book with your talent. Just a thought. I'll read JP&TM in whatever formats you decide is best for you though.

I could totally see this as a serial comic book of sorts rather than your everyday comic strip. Plus, with the world you're developing it would give you the freedom to just really stretch out.

I was getting angry at myself as well, and terribly frustrated too. I also didn't like the quality level of my last few strips, and I became concerned that I was losing the thread of what I was trying to do with JP&TM... I came to the conclusion that I have to consciously implement certain changes one way or another, or risk the whole thing going down in flames, which is something I don't want to see happen. @Kevin: Thanks kevin. I tend to put a lot of effort and thought into the development process, so hopefully I'll be able to post some sketch book blogs that can really track the process I go through and make it interesting. Thanks guys.

This is your website. That being said, I expect a book from you. Your art style is amazing, so I feel you need the largest canvas possible. Your writing really seems to lend it's self to longer narratives and extended story arcs. The few short strips with quick humorous jabs have been good, but that doesn't seem to be your natural style. I look forward to seeing how the development process goes. I think it is a great idea to develop the strip to your liking, on your schedule. This is your website.
