I am a cartoonist responsible for the webcomic Guttersnipe. I also authored the comic "Malleus Maleficarum," available from SLG publishing.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I did an art trade with Fac Agent-C on DA and OH GOD WHAT DID I DO. As you can see I tried to experiment with shading and shit, but all the girls are all weird and stretchy like crazy monsters. Look at those arms! No wonder everyone hates me. Why must I destroy everything I touch??
A friend reminded me that he liked Ilemauzer, the bat from Witchprickers. I haven’t drawn her in a while!
OPO: Tim (Japanese Opossum Fancy Magazine)
Japan has an opossum fancy magazine? All is forgiven, I love you now Japan!
I love how she turns her head like Filbert’s wife I forgot her name.

No, Lil’ Ragamuffin is still just a little girl. She just has anger issues, as you’d expect from being burned alive. She won’t become a demon until she accepts an offer from Old Scratch to become one.

I’m not as extreme as some people who like hospital beds and respirators and stuff, but I enjoy me some delightful big women dealing with the inconveniences and ignominies of their size — getting winded from being out of shape, getting frustrated at exercise failures, etc etc. I know that a lot of concern trolls like to get all uppity and look down on us because, by some accident of nature or nurture or whatever, they were blessed with MORALLY CONGRUOUS fetishes like, say, clothing lepers or comforting lost puppies, while we got saddled with this less socially acceptable fetish. I know this because everytime we talk about it, some genius has to pop in to explain that BEING FAT IS NOT HEALTHY. No shit, Sherlock. Thanks for the newsflash, I will certainly take that into consideration the next time I invent an image of a fictional woman who does not exist with the amazing power of my mind.
I dunno, you can’t help what gives you a boner, so I don’t think there’s any reason to apologize for it. As long as your kink isn’t hurting anyone, let your freak flag fly.
I fucking hate that typeface.
Geeeeeeew, I don’t even know where to start with that DA page. It’s like a storm of what not to do over there.
You basically have nothing.
The first mistake you’ve made, and probably the most irritating, is asking for a plug for an idea, which is what this is.
There’s 2 “pages” that are nearly impossible to read, and the most finished work is the FUCKING DONATION PIC. Come on…
As a reader of comics you have to understand how irritating it is to follow a link to a “comic” and get 2 pages. 2 barely legible pages at that. With random images all scattershot around them. Plus, it doesn’t look like there’s been an update since February? And it was a profile sketch? The next one back is from JANUARY? And it’s the GODDAMN DONATION BUTTON!
Tell me who is going to tolerate a once a month posting schedule?
I mean, is this what I’m supposed to be presenting to the readers that I’ve basically dedicated my life to entertaining?
If you want this to work you have to get your shit together, because this won’t fly.
Since you said something about getting a real site I’ll just say, in passing, that DA is a really poor choice for comic hosting. I know this because I posted 300 some odd pages there. If you’re going to use a site that doesn’t give you control over presentation there are better services. Ones dedicated to comics. I mention this for anyone who might happen upon this post in the future…
First of all decide on a schedule and STICK TO IT. Once a week MINIMUM. Sure, you can post less often than that, but don’t expect to get anywhere. Not unless you present something really exemplary with each update. Don’t start posting until you are SURE your artist can keep up.
Fix the text. Either do a better job hand lettering, or drop some in with whatever software you can get your hands on. If no one can read the story no one will.
If you can do those two things you’ll be headed in the right direction for success, but don’t misunderstand me. You’ll just be pointed at it, and the first thing is one of the hardest parts of making comics. I can’t begin to explain to you how difficult it is to keep a schedule. It’s just something you have to experience and it is the thing that will probably break you.
It could potentially end your relationship.
If you post regularly, and the story is strong enough, the art can catch up. You can get by with any one strength basically, but sticking to a schedule turns reading your work into habit.
Anyway, I’m sure there are things I forgot, but that’s all the stuff that I was able to get typed up while rage was powering me.
You know where to find me if you need more help.
Traditional FA [Fat Acceptance] arguments have relied on the idea that the way to diffuse these hateful statements is to prove that fat isn’t necessarily unhealthy. But by doing so we’ve ceded the premise that health status is, in fact, grounds for hating or despising someone. And as long as the tiniest statistical correlation between fatness and whatever-disease exists, we’ve lost the argument, because we diffused the wrong bomb: we should have rejected the idea that it’s okay to hate people for being ‘unhealthy,’ period.

I will always preach that it is unnecessary for you to be healthy to deserve respect.

Hey guys are we all talking about Amy’s Baking Company?
Because I just saw the Kitchen Nightmares episode, so I think we should.
