This is why I shouldn’t mess with code… Shit! OK, we’ll start over.
It seems some people are unable to view the actual strip up there. Could I ask everyone to post what kind of computer you’re on and what browser you’re using? Even if you DO see it. It would be much appreciated! I’m not quite sure what’s going on…
I’ve messed around with the site a bit. Just little things here and there, but there’s still a bunch of bugs to iron out, as you might be able to tell.
The t-shirt thing kind of disappeared, didn’t it…? I have ideas, but I’m not sure it would be worth the time and effort right now. I might look into going to a con at some point, so I’ll probably print some up then. I’m also going to do a book but I’ll probably wait to do that until about the one year mark for the strip (in Feb). I think that would make it 300-350 strips at that point, if I manage to keep going after Animation Mentor starts up, and that’s an OK amount for a book, I think.
I’ll probably need a few more readers in the long run, though, if I’m going to keep this thing up. But right now, I’m just having fun with the strip and I’m tickled pink that you’re reading it! Thanks!
I was thinking about taking orders for some Cock and Bull T-Shirts and I wanted to get some feedback from you. The one I have now is boring and I want to get the dudes on there along with the logo.
I want to select 4-5 designs and have you vote to choose one. I’d then take orders and print and ship the shirts. But I’d like to know if there’s any interest in a Cock and Bull shirt, or not.
Anyway, I’d love some feedback and if the interest is there, I’ll get going on those designs. I’ll also be more than happy to take suggestions on designs from you!
So comment or drop me an email, if you want. I’d appreciate it very much!
I’m the cartoonist who used to draw Cock and Bull. Apparently, the strip has been outsourced to a bunch of very talented people recently, but I think it’s time I come back before I start feeling too much like a slacker.
I’m pretty amazed at the response from so many people wanting to do a guest strip and, admittedly, it has gone on for quite a bit longer than I expected. But, as I’ve said before, it’s been a lot of fun seeing what everybody has done.
I’ll continue to do the strip, but at the same time I’m considering a bit of a career change. I’ve always been interested in animation and I’ve gotten to a point where freelancing as an illustrator/cartoonist is getting old. So I’ve decided to apply to Animation Mentor in order to, first of all, see if I can get in, and secondly, to learn a whole bunch about character animation and hopefully make that my profession sometime in the future.
No, I have not had a brain transplant performed by squirrel monkeys. Why do you ask?
If this whole thing doesn’t work out, plan B is to find a good program at a community college and get a BA in miming.
It’s all a bit scary to do at the age of 34 (especially the miming part – hopefully, it won’t come to that), but what’re you gonna do. I like this crazy idea of people possibly paying me money on a semi-regular basis instead of having to yank it out of the cold dead hands of clients every blue moon.
So, now to find a way to finance this lunatic endeavor… Would someone buy $17500 worth of Cock and Bull merchandise, please? Thx!
