JAWC Volume 2 : I really miss my smiley face bandana -_- Allright... let's see, what do I want to rant about today... oh yeah, my comic... which means you can freely ignore this entire rant cause it's not me getting all pissy towards assholes or bitches... Okay, so I finally got a critique of my comic... which to me is a damn good thing, cause lately it seems no one gives a damn whether I kill off the characters or make them into sex slaves from uranus.. heh... so the critique helps me realize that my comic really sucks... nothing I can do about that I mean, c'mon, the whole first volume was a paltry attempt at something that ultimately became trite, boring, convoluted and pathetic... and Volume two has just started so I'm feeling as though maybe I can change things around... though so far, not to any avail... I already have 30 pages ready for upload.. yeah, that's right, I already have up to page 60 ready to send your way, which means I'm being an ass and keeping them away so I can have free time to do other things... regardless... I figure after page 60, if the comic is still crap, I'll prolly go on another half month hiatus and totally revamp things, cause let's face it, iff'n it sucks so badly, then why keep it alive? right?... let's cut out what isn't working and try to keep alive what is... a comic triage if you will... Personally I think the comic is heading towards a good direction, I have more background with John, we look into more about Jocelyn and well, needless to say that the whole penny/Don thing is a step up into learning about the characters... Angelina is becoming more of a supporting character and soon, we'll be focusing mainly on Don/Penny/Jocelyn as a storyline, and Brandon and Miranda as a storyline in the rest of this volume, because I think it lends itself to that direction... Eryl and his father are supporting characters at the moment, but it sets it up nicely for Volume 3, and Angelina and John are fading into the background for now, however John comes forth when Volume 3 hits, cause he'll be busy with the Smoothie shoppe... This Vol.2 is going pretty quickly for me, cause I know that this all takes place over a week... the first volume took place over a day, and volume three will most likely take place over a couple of months if not more... because let's face it, time is relative and so far time is that inbred bastard cousin the family doesn't like talking about... Regardles... I have high hopes for where the comic is going, hopefully things get better, and if they don't... I'll prolly cancel it like a bad fall sitcom... finish out the comic as best I can, and then contemplate on a new comic that may do a lot better than this one did, hell, maybe make it a tri-weekly strip... but that requires better gags.. and I don't deliver gags well at all... not my scene... It's a funny thing about JAWC is that it's mainly the idea that anything I put up here is just that, "Just Another Web Comic".. it doesn't have to be these characters, it could be anything... so although the characters are waning, boring at times and let's face it... more real than a comic should allow... I find it fun, and I hope that I can still keep it going for a while until I find something else I enjoy, so I can retire from one comic, and look foward to the next... Thanks to everyone that comes by and read the comic, I thank you for your support and I hope you'll stick around for the future... \/\/3Lc0m3 2 1T... - Tiki Man
