I hope it leaves an impression.

Now two month's worth of comics into this, and the artists are getting more into the swing of things now. Every week goes smoother, and a buffer is slowly being built up!

Feels good. Won't you drop by?

[antleonardi01]

I noticed that you only do one page a week.

The more you pump out, the faster you will improve.

They say it takes roughly 100 comics before a strip even starts being good. You're ahead of the curve but surely you want to produce more than 4 a month?

[ZUKAHNAUT]

Certainly. If we had time I'd love to chug out 5 pages a week... But we both have full-time jobs to contend with.

Trying to budget our time now to see our way clear to producing two pages a week, but it'll be a close thing if we can manage it as things stand now.

Haha, I feel like I'm reading a WWF comic or something. Cheezy, yet amusing gags.

In response to antleonardi01's comment about updating, there are pros and cons to both sides of the argument. I used to update my comic twice a week and did so for about a year and half. I then had to drop it down to about once a week because I took on a lot of other illustrative projects. As a result, I haven't noticed much change in site hits or interaction with readers. It probably helps that there is a backlog of nearly 200 pages, but I don't know if it updating more than once per week is essential to any comic. I used to be of the opinion that the more you update the better it'll be. But in doing so you might risk a decrease in quality because you are more rushed, and in some cases I feel that some readers may be a little discouraged by comics with tons of pages. It's kind of nice getting in at the ground floor of a newer comic, know what I mean? It really all comes down to your availability in relation to quality.

[ZUKAHNAUT]

Thanks very much for the insight and encouragement!

[antleonardi01]

Yeah for sure. You do good work dude.

Cartooning is like anything else, you get progressively better by doing it a lot. I always feel like my art and writing is crap so I'm constantly trying to out do the previous strip by at least a little bit, yaknow? It's like addictive.

Now four months in, and things keep getting smoother. Bought a Wacom Cintiq, so the inking should be improving as now I can draw directly onto the screen.

Our hero Zukah may be in love! How will he cope?

[ZUKAHNAUT]

New page up! Can Zukah spin a yarn fantastic enough so that the cute girl he just met can overlook his appearance?
